2 month check

Today was Nathan's two month check up... this one was a hard one for Mommy and baby. SHOTS!

Just like his brother though, he screamed while he got them, but stopped the minute I picked him up! He was such a trooper, but I could tell his little (well, okay, not really little) legs were really sore at the injection site. My poor little monkey!

Other than the mean old shots, his check up was nice and routine. He is a healthy, growing boy! And the BEST news of all... his heart murmur is GONE!!!! THANK GOODNESS!!!! He is weighing in at 12.1 pounds (51%) and is 23 inches (42%). Just for comparison, Sean was 10.6 and 21.5 inches, so my chunky monkey has a little bit on him!!! :-)

Right now, both boys are sound asleep and we are hanging out with Kyle (Nick is at camp this week). Today is Rick and Elaine's 14th wedding anniversary. Congratulations Elaine and Rick!!!

Happy Fourth of July!!!

Well, it might have been a rainy, dreary 4th of July, but we were still able to get together with the family for a cookout... wet, but still tasty! Nathan enjoyed his first holiday and looked awful cute too! Sean had a great time playing with his cousins and Aunt Laine. Here are some pictures from the day. Hope everyone had a wonderful, safe 4th!

Two months old!!!

My baby is two months old today! I can hardly believe how much he has changed already!!! Did it really go this fast with Sean?

Today, Aunt Laine was kind enough to keep Nathan in the afternoon as I began my two-week part time work. I'll be returning to work full time on the 13th. Of course he was an angel (and slept most of the time for her), but Mommy was super glad to get back to him!

Enjoy the pictures of our big two-month-old!

My smiley boy!

"Brushing" his teeth

Sean is growing up WAY too fast. We've even graduated to using real toothpaste (well, the training kind without fluoride). He even knows to "spit" the stuff out of your mouth. Here's a quick video of Sean showing off his brushing skills. Cracks me up EVERY time!!!

Meeting Grandma Becky

This weekend, Jamie's Mom came for a visit to meet the little man! Even though she was only here a couple of days, the boys were glad to see/meet her! Friday was her birthday, so Sean and Nathan took her to Houilhan's to celebrate... here are a few pictures of Grandma with her boys:

My first swim!

Here is Nathan getting ready for his first "swim" in Grandma and Grandpa's pool. He only lasted about five minutes, but it's a start! Sean on the other hand, wants to swim every day! Aunt Laine even has him jumping in off the side!!!!! Swim lessons will definitely be in order next year!

Nathan (and Sean) being cute!

YAWN! Apparently Mommy bores the baby!



Check out these cheeks! Gee, and people say Nathan looks more like Mommy than Daddy... hmmmmmm.....



Sean still loves holding/kissing "his" baby

Handsome boy!

I just love the way Nathan looks after a bath. His hair remains flat for about 20 minutes, but then it gets all fluffy! Here is is before the fluff sets in! :-)



Here he is working on that smile... almost!

What is that smell???

A couple of weeks ago, this mysterious smell was in my car. It came the day after a gallon of milk burst in my trunk, but fortunately, it did not get on any carpet - only the plastic. Jamie and I both got on our hands and knees and sniffed every square inch of the car in an effort to try to find the smell.

After taking it to get detailed, the smell was gone for about 24 hours, but alas, it returned. We took it back to the detail shop to have what I call a "stink bomb" done. They also did an air purifying treatment and blew 300 degree steam through my vents. That also helped... for about 24 hours. We checked for dead animals in the engine, under the car, etc. We found nothing.

Many tears and nasty words towards my car later, Jamie took action. Long story short, he found that my air conditioner condensation was leaking back into my car and the foam underneath the carpets in the front was completely soaked (there was also about a two foot puddle of water under my center console). This soaked foam was covered with mold and mildew... hence the funky, horrid smell.

My handy man of a husband pulled out EVERYTHING from the front of my car, fixed the problem and put it all back together (10 hours later). Have I mentioned how lucky I am to have him???? Here are some pictures of the car when he had it all apart. Man, he's the best!!
