My dad turned 30 on Thursday! I got to play with Grandma and Grandpa Lanz and Uncle Michael while Mom and Dad went out to the Mexican Villiage that night.

Today we celebrated by having lots of people over to our house watching football, eating, playing with toys, and holding me. All my aunts and uncles and grandmas and grandpas were here and some really good friends like the Donats, Alessios and Hubers. I think all those kids will be fun to play with when I get bigger. My dad and mom said they had a lot of fun, so I think it was a good birthday for daddy even though he's so old.

We took a McKeever family picture after the party. I'm glad no one expects me to look at the camera and smile yet. I'm just figuring out what these hands are for... sucking on, grabbing things, and looking at.

Today is also a big day because it's my first day sleeping in my new bed! Daddy and Grandpa McKeever made me a really nice crib where I'll have lots of room to stretch out! Mommy put some cool stuff in it like a colorful crib bumper and a musical mobile. This new crib is great! Thanks, Grandpa!

Today is my two-month birthday and we celebrated by going to the doctor. My parents said it was going to be great. They said I'd hear how big I was getting. Well, that was true. But first they had to take my clothes off which made me crabby and cold. After all, it was my naptime and I should've been all snuggled in my bed having a nice sleep. Anyway... the nurse said I was a big boy: 24 3/4 inches (97%), 15 pounds 3 ounces (100%), and my head circumference was 42 cm (90%). These were all the same percentiles as my 2-week visit, so I don't know why they had to do it again. But this visit only got worse. The doctor came in and started poking me and moving my legs around. He stuck something in my mouth, I thought that might be good, but he just took it right back again and started sticking things in my ears. Then Mom snuggled me and I fell asleep, but I wasn't asleep long before she laid me down and held my arms while two nurses stuck something in my legs. That stung enough to bring tears to my eyes! When it was all over Daddy gave me some of that yummy Tylenol that I like so much and Mommy snuggled me back to sleep. Tonight I hear I'll get some more Tylenol and I'll get to snuggle with Grandma Barb and maybe even Auntie Dawn while Mom and Dad are gone, so there's still hope for my two-month birthday.

Goo, gaa, goo! (And a big SMILE!)

Sara wanted a good place to share the progress of our son's life with people who are interested. We will be journaling family events and important milestones. Please keep watching for more to come...
