2 months old!!

Well Troy has turned 2 months old already!  As you can see he's growing & getting some cheeks now, needless to say he's a good eater.  We love seeing his funny expressions & though he's still pretty camera shy with his smiles, we catch them every once in awhile on film.  He loves to coo & talk to us now, especially after he's content & finished a meal, we love hearing his voice.  Just the other day he started copying dad by sticking his tongue out, he was pretty excited & hasn't done that with mom yet!  The most exciting development this month for mom is Troy deciding he likes a 2 1/2 hour nap in the afternoon.  It has been a great addition to the day & sometimes goes even longer, I'm hoping he decides to be a lover of naps & sleeping like mom does!  We're still having a great time as new parents & can't get enough of our little guy!!

Finally caught some smiles!!

We had a great "smiles" session at grandma's just a few days ago.  He'd had a long nap & a full stomach & was finally ready to smile for the camera.  He's starting to get the hang of it!!
When I smile sometimes I like to look like my daddy smiled when he was a little guy, so one eye is squinting & the other is open.  Or maybe I'm just trying to tease my mom & show her that I can wink even though she can't!! :)
I'm just too cute, don't you think??
Enough with the flash mom, isn't 20+ pics plenty??
Yes, I know everyone wants my picture!  I guess I'd better practice my parade wave, either that or tell mom "I'm good, can we be done now??"  You decide ;>

Fun times with cousin Carter!

Carter decided he would be a "sharer" & let Troy wear his shoes.  As they fell off he kept putting them back on.  As you can see he had Troy's full attention.  He was practicing being very soft with baby & giving kisses before his little brother arrives this month.

Troy's blessing day!

Finally a family picture on our little boy's special day!  Oh how we love life!!
The gang's all here!!

Here he is in a cute Elmo outfit Aunt Diana gave him.  Plus he is in little mittens frequently to keep him from scratching his face & mainly because his mom (namely me) is too chicken to cut his nails.  I would like to report that since a "cut" by his Aunt Kalita his hands are breathing much better now & I'm working up to doing it myself . . . very soon!! :)

Here is the little guy all stretched out.  He cracks us up because he always seems to spread his arms straight out to the side when we set him down.  In this outfit he looks like a little man, which makes me sad since I already think he's growing too fast, but he so fun & everyday he smiles a little bit more.  We haven't been able to catch his smile on film yet, he seems to know when we're trying to get his picture that way & doesn't exactly cooperate, but we'll post it when we do capture it!
