Back to Work, Birthdays, and Baby Milestones...

I went back to work on February 3rd and it has been a really good transition for us.  I'm so thankful!  It was hard to leave my two boys at home (Casey keeps the baby during the day), but knowing the two of them are together, and only being a mile away myself, has really made it easy.

Casey's birthday was February 5th so I kept with tradition and made him a carrot cake and we went out to eat the day before. Atticus did really well and slept the entire time at the restaurant!  Casey and I only actually saw each other a few minutes on Casey's birthday, but we made the most of the week and the time we had to celebrate.


On February 23 Atticus was 2 months old!  We can hardly believe how much this boy is growing and changing.  He is developing such a sweet little personality.  He loves to snuggle close to us and wiggle on his blanket. He has started to coo and smack his tongue against his gums. He follows us around with his eyes, and just in the last month he has begun to really smile!  His smiles make me melt.  Seriously. He also has started loving his mobile.  He enjoys watching the little animals go round and round. :) He weighed 10lbs 2oz at his checkup. He's making it through the night without eating, but still gets a little restless and wakes up mommy! He used to not like diaper changes or baths, but he's started taking a liking to those as well.  He's a pretty easygoing baby and we love him so much! 


My mom captured this smile (not the first one, but the first we have on camera!)

I also finally got a birth announcement printed with pictures my friend Andrea took (check her out at www.andrearaethomasphotography.com).  Seriously, we love these photos that were taken when Atticus was two weeks old, but we can hardly remember him being that small!



Atticus also loved having his Gram, his Gigi, and his Pop Pop visit recently.  We look forward to them spending more time with their grandson in the future.


It is hard to believe that it is already mid March.  Looking forward to Spring, our wedding anniversary, March Madness, and Easter all in the next couple of weeks. And, of course, this boy will be three months old next week!  The time is flying faster than it ever has before....

The latest of our little man.
