Hayden and Ian 2 months old
The boys are 2 months old today! I can’t believe how big they have gotten and how chubby they are now. Since I am back at work now and Jonathan is home the next few weeks I left the task of taking the boys’ 2 month photo in his hands. He did get a good one, I knew I could count on him.
This past Thursday I got the boys all dressed and ready and then proceeded to take their 2 month pictures. Only to realize, they weren’t 2 months yet…they were 8 weeks though. I got some good pictures either way! This is one of my absolute favorites but it does make them look a little chubbier than they actually are.

Both boys are starting to smile, coo and are getting little personalities. I love all the little noises they make but mostly I love to see them smile. I got a picture of Ian smiling the other day but I haven’t been able to catch one of his really big grins. Hayden gave us a BIG grin at Vicki’s last week and I was able to catch that. Anytime I need a pick me up, I just look at these two pictures and it works! (pay no attention to the formula stain on Ian’s clothes)
Hayden & Ian Smiling - 8 weeks old
They now have all that cute baby chubbiness that makes them so irresistible! Hayden is now about 9.5 – 10 pounds and Ian isn’t too far behind, probably right at about 9.5 pounds. Hayden is our stretcher! In the morning when you wake him up and unwrap him from his blanket, he stretches or about 2-3 minutes straight and anytime he wakes up from sleeping he does a big stretch. It is soo cute to watch. Ian still does his little “hungry speak” as we call it. He makes this noise when he’s hungry that is adorable. He also does a little cute noise while he eats, very hard to describe what it sounds like so I won’t even try…you just have to hear it!
Neither of the boys really like tummy time but they have to do it so they live with it. They don’t scream or anything, they just fuss and cry a little. They are getting better though and now that they have pretty good head control they seam to like it a little bit more. They got some new toys to play with during tummy time so we’ll have to try them out and see how they like them.
They are becoming more aware of things like the mobile on their crib and will lay under it and watch it while I clean or do stuff around the house. They got a cool toy for Christmas that projects a picture on the ceiling so we can’t wait to try that out and see how they like it…we have to get batteries for it or else we would have used it by now. They are also able to focus more on things and will turn towards our voices if they hear us.
Yesterday I was looking at some pictures of the day they were born and I still can’t believe how small they were. They are getting so big so fast, I can’t imagine how they will look in another month!
