Swimming!!! Well, kinda...

Ready to swim!

Oliver's first trip to the pool! Well, to be specific, we were at the children's wading pool that is a maximum of 12 inches deep. We were invited to a birthday party for a 2 year old and we thought it would be a great opportunity to see how the little man would react to cool water on a hot day. The answer? Not so well. We got one foot in and he cried. Probably shouldn't have bothered to apply all that sun screen before we took our "dip." But the morning wasn't a total lost cause, we got to put him in his adorable baby swim trunks!

This is about as far as we got

Easan was chosen to hold the "babies"
for the birthday girl. What a handsome daddy!

That ankle dip was tiring!

2 Months Old!

Feeling patriotic on the 4th. America!

   Oliver is two months old! I can't believe it. My tiny baby is becoming a bigger baby! I can't believe how the time flies. He has chubby cheeks, and a tiny little double chin. His thighs are getting rolls, his elbows gaining dimples and even his wrists are getting the little fold of fat. He is showing his personality by smiling and laughing. 
   He is becoming more mobile, he can turn himself in a circle by kicking his legs in the air and inching around on his back. But I think his favorite activity by far is changing table kicks. It is the most adorable site. You take off his diaper and he's off! He kicks furiously and almost always pees on something. The peeing is probably his favorite because it always makes him laugh. That is probably going to be a problem later. 

Laying on his tummy helps with gas.

   Everyone asks how he is sleeping. I feel like it could be a lot worse. He is sleeping for longer stretches at night, but not completely through the night yet. The most he has slept at once is about five hours but the usual night time routine is sleep about four to five hours, wake up for a feeding then sleep three to fours more hours. I am still pretty tired, but Easan helps me out a lot by letting me sleep in on weekends and covering me for naps. 
   I went back to work this week, but I have the little man with me. I either work from home or bring him to the office. It was an interesting transition and I definitely don't have all the kinks worked out yet. I have a little bouncy seat and an activity gym for him in my office, and he seems content falling asleep there. I guess I just need to own it and not feel like I am constantly going to disturb everyone if he makes the slightest peep. Luckily he isn't too loud and I try to keep him home if he is having a fussy day and take advantage of the good days. We will get it figured out and it is slow during the summer at work anyway.
