The Circus is in town

This past weekend Gaga asked to take Ethan to his first circus. He was excited to go the show to see elephants. All morning, "let's go get Gaga to go to the circus." The afternoon arrived and he finally got to go. Since I am terrified of clowns, I came back to pick him up later.

Of course, you can't go to the circus without treats. He found a sword that he loved (and still plays with 2 days later).


And you have to start the show with a yummy sno cone, which came home down his leg, his arms, and some a little on his face.


It was finally time for the show. He was amazed.






I am told by mom that he liked the tigers, dogs, clowns, and dump truck the best. According to Ethan: "There were BIIIG elephants, and the little puppy dogs, they were so cute. There was a really big man that did a show and then it was over."

All in all my boy had a great time. Thank you, Gaga, for taking him. Maybe one day I will suck it up and go with him. Maybe.

Brady is 2 months

Another month a flown by us and my baby boy is 2 months old.


He is one happy little guy. He loves to smile and coo. I get the best smiles when I am singing some of Ethan's favorite night time tunes. His favorite time of day is bathtime, followed closely by morning.


He loves to be held and walked around right now. Thank goodness for the Moby some nights or we wouldn't get dinner made. He still eating every 2-3 hours, about 4 ounces usually. He is sleeping about 5 hours stretches at night, most nights 10-3 and then 3:30-8/8:30. Most nights he goes down pretty easily. He is still in his pack and play in our room for now. He will soon be moving to his own bed.


He's a strong little guy. He holds his head up really well. He pushes his weight up on his arms when he's on his belly. He loves to roll himself to his side to smile and chat with me. He actually rolled himself over to his back a few weeks ago. He hasn't done it since, thank goodness. Don't grow up so fast little one.


We went for his checkup this morning. He was very happy and chatty with the doctor. His mood changed when he got his shots. He has been sleeping most of the day since we were done. I am sure it will make for a long night. But, I can't bear to wake him when he doesn't feel himself.

Here are his stats:

Weight: 14.0 pounds (95th percentile)
Height: 23 3/4 inches (75th percentile)
Head: 16 1/4 inches (80th percentile)

We love you chunky monkey.
