2 months/ 9 weeks.....

"THEY GROW SO QUICKLY"

Everyone says it....and you believe it......but still....

Our little infant seems to have sprouted into a beautiful butterball of a bouncing baby boy in no time.  Honestly, we have been to occasions where, upon comparison to other babes of his age,  it becomes glaringly obvious that August McGrath is no small fry.  He has already begun to outgrow his newborn and 1-3 month clothing, and I have to laugh at myself when I nearly cry thinking that it's the beginning of some end when really we're still SO at the very beginning.

Weighing in at 13 lbs, he's as healthy and strong as can be.  So alert, and already with a sense of humor, he spends his days mostly napping or sitting happily in his vibrating chair 'talking' to the animals that 'hang' above it and playing games with his tongue.  His favorite activity always is to sit or lie in your lap and listen to you talk......or watch you eat.......anything that gives him the opportunity to watch your mouth and tongue move in a variety of ways delights him to no end.  And animal noises......I swear he already copies me when I hoot like an owl.  He's earned himself the nickname of 'Weezer' though, as he tends to make a lot of noise when he's sleeping, sometimes rivaling the dog in who can better fill a room with snores.

He's 2 months yesterday and literally 9 weeks today.  

Mike and I keep trying to tell him to slow down, enjoy being a baby!  But then he just looks up at us smiling and coos.
