Our big boy is two months old today! He is already up to 14 lbs and wearing 6-month clothes and size 2 diapers! He’s still rocking both chins and the chunky little rolls on his legs just keep getting cuter and cuter. :) He’s started smiling so much more (mostly after he eats) and he is sleeping through the night! What a gift. He loves bath time and would be happy sitting in his little baby-cuzzi for twenty minutes or more. He’s shot 2 weddings, a newborn shoot and a maternity session with us – starting him young! haha. We took him on his first camping trip up to Paso Picacho campground in the Cuyamacas a few weekends ago and he did so great! I’ll post those pictures next. :)
There are days (like yesterday) when I just wanted to get so much work done and get caught up on housework, chores, etc. – it’s hard for me to be okay with just not getting as much done as I used to! How do you working mommas do it? And how do you mommas of more than one do it?! I guess it’s all relative and you learn to adapt as time goes on.
We’ve enjoyed taking him on hikes on almost a weekly basis – up to the Lagunas or here locally at Mission Trails. The photos below are from a 3-mile hike we did through Laguna Meadow. It’s a torturous 85 degrees here in San Diego today (where is our winter?!) so we love escaping up to the mountains for some cooler weather as well.
One of my resolutions this year is to take more personal photos – I am surprisingly terrible at it! I have this notion that if I’m going to take pictures of Colt that it has to be a formal photo shoot – that he has to be bathed and dressed cute with a cute backdrop or my bed made (HA) – and that just doesn’t happen often. So my solution is to take one film photo every single day this year (starting now) of our regular life. At home, in the bath, sleeping in his crib, smiling after I feed him. If we make it out of the house and we’re dressed and actually doing something fun – even better!
Happy two months of life, my precious Colt!
