2 months old!!!

Ben is a little over 8 weeks old - we can't believe how quickly time is flying by and how big our little guy is getting each day. It's amazing how quickly an outfit will be huge on him, then fit perfectly within a couple of days. Ben has his 2-month dr's appointment next week and we're very curious to see what his height and weight are measuring now.

We've been keeping busy and trying to get out as much as possible with the gorgeous weather we've been having. We had dinner with friends not too long ago and realized just how old we are getting when we talked about kids most of the time, took turns eating while the other spouse held a baby and we were all passing out by 9pm! We had a great time though.

Ben continues to be a great baby - he only wakes up once, sometimes twice at night and doesn't cry too much (except if he's hungry!). He's a great eater, is getting better about taking regular naps and gives us lots of adorable smiles all day long.

Here are a couple attempts to capture his smiles on film - of course he doesn't seem to want to smile when the camera comes out!

Smiling in his bouncer

Excited about bath time!


Early morning smiles



Loving his "Brooklyn" onesie from Aunt Mary

We spent Easter weekend in OC with Grandma and Grandpa - it was Grandpa's birthday on Friday, so we celebrated with some gifts and of course tiramisu! Saturday the guys went golfing in the morning while the rest of us just lounged around the house, then Lori, Craig, Chase, Jim and I went to the Angels vs Red Sox game. We had a great time even though the Angels lost in an exciting last inning. We spent Saturday night catching up with family friends who came to celebrate Easter with us. Sunday the Easter bunny brought lots of goodies for the boys and Chase went "hunting" for eggs (filled with Puffs!) in the backyard. We had a wonderful time with friends and family.
