2 months old!

Well, Riley was two months old on March the 5th. I can't believe where the time has gone. I feel like just yesterday I was getting ready to head to the hospital to bring him into the great world. I look at his pictures over and over again thinking how lucky we are to have him in our lives. I just love looking at them! He is so verbal now and we have gotten ourselves into a pretty good routine...that or Mommy & Daddy are finally comfortable with ourselves in this world of parenthood. We are truly blessed with a good baby. He only cries at the obvious times and rarely takes a pacifier, which I love. I think he took to me telling him while I was pregnant that I didn't want him taking one. He even sleeps in his own bed (has since night#3 at home) and now sleeps through the night. I can say that because he has for a little over a week now. What Mommy and Daddy consider through the night is 7 hours of sleep straight. Having such a good thing going makes it hard to go back to work soon. Especially since the weather is getting so nice. One of the greatest things is when we realized that Riley really knew who we were. He may smile and interact with everyone, but the way he gazes at Jeremy and me...well I just can't explain the way it makes me feel. You can see the sparkle of love in his eyes. Sometimes he does it at the most ungracious times like a diaper change. It's really funny because I tell him he went "Stinky Stinky Poo Poo" and he just kicks and smiles. Gosh the greatness of being a Mommy. He has learned to do so much in two months and I just can't wait to see what he learns in the next month.

We have been pretty busy this week enjoying the beautiful days. Riley had his 2 month check up and all is well. He weighs 10lbs and 8 oz and is 21 3/4 long. He got 4 shots...I had to close my eyes. It was awful for me, but he was a good sport and only cried well...until we got in the car! Then it seemed like they hyped him up, not sure what that was about.

We took Riley to the "Big Game" Dinner at Westwood Baptist Church last weekend. He did so well and we got so many compliments on how precious he is. He got a little fussy during the sermon, but eventually drifted to sleep. We went out to eat for Uncle Jason's birthday at Logan's...and again he did fantastic! He also had his first trip to the zoo this weekend. We had a great time and he just enjoyed being with Mommy and Daddy riding in the stroller.
