Two Months Old

My sweet baby boy is two months old.  I can honestly say that I have loved every minute of the last two months with him. I frequently think, "wow, what an amazing baby,"  and he is.  He sleeps through the night,  naps when I want/need him to nap, smiles and coos, is rarely fussy and likes to snuggle with me. Amazing.  On Owen's two month "birthday" I did a mini photo shoot with him.

I am not a professional photographer,  nor do I have any desire to be.  I do have a fancy pants camera that takes pretty decent pictures on "auto" and I have no desire to pay someone else a small fortune to take pictures for me. So I give it my best shot, take about 200 pictures to have 3 of them turn out and vow that someday I will take a photography class.  Someday when I'm not driving kids to soccer practices,  soccer games, tumbling classes,  dance classes, & cub scouts, teaching preschool, doing 12 loads of laundry a week and trying to fit in feedings every 2-3 hours for my hungry little growing baby.  It's definitley not the time or the season for photography classes, and I'm okay with that.

Here are the three that turned out:

I love this little chalkboard I picked up at Michaels for a couple of bucks.

Looks so much like his big brothers.

Owen is starting to hold his head up really well.

Just for fun,  here are some of the out takes.  I had a great three year old helper :)

Abbi helping Owen hold up his head.

This kid wants to suck on everything in sight.

See what I mean?

And Abbi rushes in to help.... again.

He looks a little bit like an alien in this one.
