Lazy Summer Days

No major updates from the Priest household. We've been enjoying having Ed home and the lazy days of summer. The little guy continues to grow like a weed. Here are some snapshots from the last few days.

 

 

 

Strickland's Feet

Strickland has successfully discovered his feet. As you can tell from the video, we are very proud of this little milestone. Enjoy!

Strickland's 2 Months Old!

Where did the time go? My baby boy is already 2 months old. We went to the doctor this week for his well baby check up. He weighs 12 lbs and is 23 inches long. Clearly my breastmilk is doing something right. This is his 2 month picture. They always said they grow fast but I'm just starting to believe it.

 

 

 

Bath Time

Strickland loves taking a bath. He still can't really sit up on his own so I had to juggle bathing him and holding him up for the camera. But as you can tell from his little eyes, he's enjoying his bath. He is content to sit in the tub for as long as I'll let him.

 

 

 

 

Time to Eat

We enjoy our time feeding the little guy. It's always comical given that he grunts throughout the entire process. Here are a few snaps of his post feeding coma.

A Week of Firsts

This is our first week home alone. Meme has gone home. Daddy is back to work. The little guy and I are learning how to live and juggle feedings and life together. I must say that it's harder than it looks. I never dreamed mom's had such a busy schedule. I'm not sure where my days go but they definitely go somewhere.

In other firsts, Strickland is now able to focus on his mobil above his crib as well as various toys strategically placed on his car seat, bouncer, and swing. It's cool to see him gain more control of his eyes.

He is sleeping fairly well. He goes about 3 hours during the night. We can't complain although we are still adjusting to the lack of sleep.

Ed and I are loving having him here finally. He really is a good baby so we can't complain. Enjoy the pics of our last couple of days. I'm working on trying to get more pictures of him awake but it's hard to do.
