Sunshine comes to Germany

We finally got a few nice weather days here in Germany! Long awaited after the darkest winter Germany has seen since 1951. Sweet! Not...

But sunshine was a great change of pace! Greyson & I usually spend most of our time indoors unless we're out & about running errands! Being born in February meant that Grey spent most of his first 2 months either inside or bundled up like a caterpillar in a cocoon so he didn't freeze to death! I think I enjoyed being outside more than he did because he isn't fond of the sun in his eyes - good thing I just bought him sweet baby shades and & just have to wait for them to get here!!

He's got these sweet star sunglasses but they're too big on him so they slide down his nose & he proceeds to attempt to eat them! It actually really funny to watch!

Chilling on some comfy blankets with all my toys!

Yummm Racoon! :)

Grey LOVES his giraffe! They're friends!

So far Greyson has enjoyed being outside in the warmth & sunshine, when he doesn't decide it's nap time! Hah I cannot wait until it is actually summer weather & he can hold his head up really well so we can go swimming! He has little swimming trunks coming too!

But as I write this, it is a gloomy, cold day again here! Onto housework & web surfing! Happy Saturday!

2 Months

Whoa time is flying by! Greyson is 2 months old already! He changes every single day - his mannerisms, his expressions, his personality! It's crazy to me sometimes how different of a baby he is from when he was born! I love waking up everyday - well, once about 8 AM hits, haha - and seeing his adorable little man!

Baby smiles! :)

We are finally getting into a little bit of a routine! He is a great baby & becoming a little more predictable! That's helping so we know when its best to get things done!

Greyson recently found his hands to be a tasty little ~~treat~~ toy! They are always in his mouth! He is getting really good at using one hand to shove the other in!

Yummmm

"Can't reach it! Uhhhh"

We've been working on tummy time, more each day. He doesn't mind it most of the time & usually ends up rolling onto his side while laying on the floor! His play mat just came in the mail today [hopefully Greg picks it up] but for now we just lay on the floor with a blanket & his toys surrounding him!

Greyson loves to use his legs! He obviously can't stand yet but he loves when we hold him so that he can try to stand on his feet! He is very keen on doing things on his own - I hope he keeps up that determination!

Greyson had his 2 month well baby check up last Friday. His stats were:

Weight - 10.5 lbs, 26th percentile

Height - 23 in., 51st percentile

Head circumference - 40 cm, 56th percentile

He's growing so much! He also got his shots this Monday - oh man was it intense! He was fine for a second or 2 then freaked out & turned bright red! I was fine until he was screaming & I couldn't help, then I cried! Oh.. I'm such a mom now! Ha Got lots of cuddle time with lil man that night because he had no intention of being alone all that night!

Ain't that the truth?!

We just bought a few new things for the house! Trying to make it more homey & awesome! Its coming along very well! Just a few more things to finish it off.
