2 month appointment

So the little man is a whopping 12 lbs 14 oz, and 22 1/4 inches long! I had to take him out to the hospital to get an echo-cardiogram and a chest x-ray afterwards because the doctor noticed he had a heart murmur. He said it probably isn't anything to worry about but he does this with all his patients when he sees this for the first time. The test results will be back tomorrow, so hopefully all is well! We also didn't have time to get his shots because he wanted us to go to the hospital today, so that's the duty for tomorrow. Not looking forward to it at all!

Baby Model

Many of you may know, but when I was in the hospital I had a bit of a crazy nurse, very nice of course though! She absolutely fell in love with Drake. She asked if she could take pictures of him with a blanket and hat that her friend and her knit, then sell. Of course I said yes, I mean she told me I have the cutest baby ever, I couldn't deny her! She came back a little bit later and said, "These pictures turned out great, and I just had to show you guys them. He should be a baby model. He IS a baby model." Cornell and I looked at each other like she was crazy then laughed about it later!

Well, today I finally found the piece of paper she gave me with the web site, and I have to admit, the pictures are pretty cute! I definitely have to share!

2 months!!!

Today is Father's Day and Drake is exactly 2 months old. VERY exciting!
He really isn't doing anything new besides smiling alot more! He loves to watch himself in the mirror and watch the animals on his mobile. I also bought him a play mat and he just lays on the floor and kicks around on that and stares at the lights. It's very cute!

I weighed him at Jill's house today and he was 12.5 lbs, so right on track! His 2 month appointment is on Wednesday and he will be getting weighed, measured, and unfortunately some shots. I might have Cornell take him for that though because I'm not sure if I will be able to handle it! I almost started crying when he was a week old and had to get his heel pricked. Very traumatic!
He also had his first sleepover at Nana and Papa's this weekend. After 2 months, I had never been away from him for more than an hour, so my mom offered to watch him for the weekend. It was a much needed break but I definitely missed him. I called quite a bit to check on him, and when I got there to pick him up I couldn't take my hands off of him


Here are some pictures taken in the last few weeks!
We were watchin TV together--Untold Stories of the ER--Future Doctor!!!
First smile I got on Camera. He does not like the red light that comes before the picture!

Showing off his crazy, untameable hair!

6 weeks!

So I finally found the cord to my camera so I can get some pictures up! My mom is always asking why I don't update it more. Well...he isn't really doing anything different! He is starting to smile though and I did catch one on camera! We also visited with all the cousins and I got some pictures with cousins Maddie and Ty. Cole wasn't very cooperative the day I tried to get some of him and Drake. But here are some pictures for your enjoyment! Nana with the youngest boys. Maddie was all over them. Poor little guys! The boys telling secrets. Whatever Ty said must have hurt Drake's feelings!Drake looks scared for his life, and Ty looks like he's saying, "What am I gonna do with her?"
