Holy Cow! Er … Moose. And Goo.

The Moose turned two months old yesterday and I literally cannot believe how fast the time has gone! He’s doing really well – here’s an update on his “stats:”

• He’s wearing 3-6 month clothes  
• He weighs approximately 14.5 lbs – we’ll find out Wednesday exactly how much and how long – suffice it to say HE’S BIG!  
• He’s smiling frequently – particularly when he’s full – the boy likes to eat! ;)  
• He’s eating 4 oz at a time most of the time, sometimes up to 6 if he’s really starving  
• He’s sleeping each night from around 9 all the way until 3:30 or 4, eating, and going back to sleep until 6:30 when my alarm goes off. The last few days he’s gone back down after that feeding as well, allowing me to get myself and the other nut ready quickly. Love this kid!!

Speaking of the other Nut – Goo is doing great as well! For comparison:

• He’s wearing 3T pants and 3T or 4T shirts
• He weighs 36 lbs and is about 3 feet tall
• He’s an incredibly picky eater, but we’re slowly working on trying new things.
• He’s *almost* got his colors nailed down – he occasionally has a little trouble with red, orange, and yellow but he’s getting better all the time
• He is excellent at identifying shapes – I’ve got an iPhone app that shows multiple shapes and asks him to touch one, and he breezes through it with flying colors.
• His favorite toys are Uncle D’s old army men and his Batman gear – he also likes to play “racecars” and Power Rangers at daycare.

Both boys are amazing – we count our blessings every day!

Last week was my first week back to work, and while it was hard to leave the Moose, it was such a different experience knowing and trusting our daycare. We’re SO fortunate to have found them and that they continue to put up with us! Ha!

This weekend, Grandma ‘Tine and I took Goo to the West Fargo Park District “Bouncy Bash” and he had a ball! (The Moose stayed home with Dad and Gpa and watched the Sioux game).

Later that night T and I went on a “date” to my friend S’s 30th birthday party and had a lot of fun. I can’t believe that we’re able to function normally with such a new baby – Moose, you’re too easy!!
