Two months!

I can't believe Brooks is already two months old.  Month 2 has been really fun...he is becoming much more interactive with us and even started smiling and "talking" this month.  We are sort of getting into a routine...we are attempting the 3 hour schedule but I just really started it this week.  He is still waking up 2 or 3 times a night but I am hopeful we can get it down to one by the time I go back to work.

Here are the monthly photos.  I tried really hard to get a smile but I could only capture one and the lighting is terrible for all of these.  I need to take a class or something!

 Todd thought it would be funny to have him "riding" charley.  Poor charles...he was a good sport though!

Week 5: Week 5 was a busy week for us.  First "snowpocalypse" hit SC and we got a few inches of snow and ice.  Todd got to work from home because they closed all the bridges and it just so happened to be on Wed when I take his weekly photos.

My sister had given me this snowsuit that was her boys and when I pulled it out of the box I remember saying that he would never get to wear it but I'm glad I kept it!

This was our attempt at getting a family snow photo.  

Uncle Chad also came to visit us this week and brought B some "babiators".

Week 6: Aunt Janis came to visit this week but I didn't get a picture :(.  This was our first week where we really started going on alot of outings.  He is great while we are out and about...he naps better on the go than he does when we stay at home.

Week 7:  This was a big week because this is when we really started to get those social smiles.  He also started "talking" to us so I took a couple of videos because I just think it is the cutest thing ever!

Please ignore my voice in the video.  And also his poor left eye :(  He has had clogged tear ducts since he was born and the left one is way worse than the right.  I can't wait til we go to the doctor to ask them about it!

Talking to Dad...

We also had Valentine's Day this week so we attempted a little photo shoot in the Valentine's jammies that Nana sent.  I couldn't get a smile but this is the "card" we sent to everyone.

Week 8: 

I took this on one of our daily walks with Charley.  I have been trying to do 3 miles on the days that it is nice out.  He is usually sleeping but this time he was wide awake!

B has been getting better at holding his head up during tummy time.  

We also took our first trip to the beach with my friend Katherine and her little boy Carter.  Unfortunately it looked alot nicer than it was but when we actually got out there it was very cold and windy so we didn't end up staying long.

We did get to stick our toes in the sand though!  <3
