The Sucher Four Plus One More: 2 MONTHS OLD!!

I can't believe it...I have a 2 month old today!!! Or maybe it's that I can't believe I have survived 8 weeks of mommyhood. I have to say, I am feeling less and less like a befuddled beginner and more the "okay I can handle this" veteran.

I'm 2 MONTHS today!!

I shed a few tears today when I looked back on all the photos I have taken of Owen since the day he was born and saw how much he as changed. How is that possible?!? How is it possible that my little turkey has changed so much in 8 weeks time?! And he has gotten so BIG! Not to mention he has also reached all of his little "2 Month Milestones" one by one. I just watch EVERYTHING he does because I don't want to miss a thing. Some of the milestones aren't hard to miss like his SMILE...boy does he have a smile that just melts your heart! It's not a just a random smile anymore; Owen smiles in response to everone else's smile. It's so adorable! He likes to squeal and vocalizes in ways other than crying. Baby O is also reaching for objects which makes play time so much more fun. He's always reaching for the toys dangling over his head when he's on his Flying Circus Playmat. His tummy-time still needs a little work though. This child hates tummy-time, I mean absolutely despises tummy-time. He gets so mad and tummy-time only lasts a few minutes before he has a complete meltdown. Hopefully he'll start to enjoy it as we venture on down the weeks leading up to 3 months.

Tummy-time on one of his better days

This little guy is also getting pretty good at holding his head steady when he is upright, although, he as been doing that since he was like 2 weeks old. It just amazes me how fast he has progressed from an adorable but unresponsible blob to this active and extremely alert little man.

I'm also still waiting for bath time to be a little more pleasant as well. We have our good days (where Mommy is singing every song in the book like a maniac to distract Owen from what is really going on) and we have our bad days (where the screams sounds like Owen is being drawn and quartered in the bathroom) When do babies start to love taking a bath and refusing to get out of the tub?!?! Will we ever get to those days??

Mommy giving him his first bath in the tub...he's a little upset

This was taken just last week...his love or lack thereof for the tub has not changed from Day 1

This is a little better! From the look on his face I was probably singing "Row Row Row Your Boat" like a mad person to distract him from being in the tub

Well, we're off to the pediatrician tomorrow for Owen's 2 Month Check-up. Wish us luck...I don't know who will be crying more from the immunizations...Mommy or Owen!
We'll leave you with some pictures of Owen's Adventures from the last 8 weeks. What a lucky boy to be out and about so much. Ohhhh...the things we have in store for the next 4 weeks...
