the 4th, first haircut, and 2 months!

We stayed in Elko for the 4th this year and went to spring creek to watch their parade with our friends the Tanners. {They are moving in a few weeks and we are going to miss them so much!!}

Drake's hair has been bald all around his head except for a circle at the crown of his head and then right above his neck... kind of like a ya mica and a mullet so it has desperately needed to be trimmed but I couldn't do it on my own since his head is still a little wobbly but we tried the bumbo for the first time this weekend! And I saw the perfect opportunity to pull out the trimmer.
{He wasn't too happy at first, he didn't know what to think of it.}
But then he decided he liked it okay, I was kind of surprised but it was fun for him to try something new especially since he is so much more attentive these days and likes to look around at everything.

So we tried the bumbo on Friday and then on Saturday he was sitting in it and I thought it would be a good time for a first haircut.

This is the before, yeah, he definitely needed a haircut.
It looks better now. He kept trying to turn his head to see what the noise was so that made it a little harder but other than that he did great! The bumbo was sitting too high up so i couldn't exactly get the mullet so I'll have to have some help from Kev this week!

Yesterday was Drake's two month birthday! I can't believe how fast time has gone! We love our little guy and its hard to think what life was like before he came. 

Some things about Drake... He smiles a lot now, especially in the mornings.
He's starting to talk and coo a lot more which has been way fun.  If I coo back he'll talk more
He loves to lay on his back and kick and move his arms, if I let him he would probably do it all day
When he does tummy time he is lifting his head and now lifting his upper body off the ground
He wants to be looking around all the time and will get fussy if we lay him down and he wants to be sitting and looking around the room.
Loves his bath time
He has been sleeping consistently for five hours each night!! We've even had seven hours in there a few times {YAHOO}


His stats when we went to the Doctor are..
24 1/2 inches long {he's grown 4 inches since he was born!} 95th percentile
10lbs 8 oz  50th percentile
Head circumference: 13 inches 20th percentile

His first shots were heartbreaking at his check up, I cried pretty much all day, it was so sad.  I think I'll make Kevin take him next time.  We are so lucky to have him, he is such a happy and content baby as long as he is not tired and has a full belly.  We have so much fun with him and are so glad he came to our family!
