Happy St. Paddy's Day!!!

Crazy!!!  He is so grown up looking in the face now as well and all filled out.  I was soooo proud of him.  There is no doubt about it, Halston is one tough kid.  1st of all, he HATES to be cold so, of course when I took his clothes off to be weighed, he was not happy.  Then, the Dr. was supposed to be in "shortly" so, the nurse told me just to wrap him in a blanket as the Dr. would need him clothes-less as well.  She got caught up with a patient and didn't see us for 30 minutes.  But, he battled through.  I had him propped up on my chest and he "talked" and "sang" and cooed the whole time with his head completely pulled away from my chest looking straight at me like a big boy.  Then he got 3 shots :( .  One in the left thigh and 2 in the right.  He cried pretty hard but to be honest, I have heard worse from him.  He only cried though for about 30 seconds and then was fine and dandy!  I got to go home with him after instead of returning to work and thank goodness!  His little legs were so tender and sensitive.  I had no idea it would make him as sore as it did.  So, he wanted to be held but, it hurt to be held.  He was not a happy camper most of the night.  He even refused a feeding which has NEVER happened.  I was pretty upset because i couldn't take away his pain.  The best I could do was give him Tylenol. :( Today though, he was feeling good again and was so pleasant and perfect.  I am so amazed by him every day.  Today when I got home, I was playing with him and sang a couple notes and said, "Now you sing".  He opened his mouth wide and said "awaaaaaahhhhh" in a high pitched sing-song tone.  It was so precious!! Then I said "sing again for mommy" and AGAIN he immediately opened his mouth and said, "ah-ah-ah" and then smiled as big as he could.  AMAZING.  He really tried to mimic.  It seems so young to be doing that but, he knows what he's doing.  it is just so sweet.  I am so in love with him!  More to come-L

Such a little helpful cousin

My 2 month Old!

Almost 2 Months!!!!

I cannot believe that my sweet little munchkin will be 2 months old on Saturday.  I hope he fits into his St. Paddy's day outfit! Halston is very active and alert these days.  He turns his head to look at each different person when they talk and...he LOVES his cousin Drake.  He is mesmerized by him.  Honestly, when Drake comes around he looks at and interacts with him like he knows they are both kids and on the same page.  So cute!  He interacts so much more.  when I shake my head back and forth and say, "A doo, doo, doo, doo doo!  and kiss his nose, he smiles.  Grins really big with an open mouth!  it's just the sweetest.  He is ridiculously strong! When I put him on his tummy, he pulls his head and shoulders, ALL the way off the ground and does not come back down for a VERY long time.  He moves his legs and arms but, doesn't go anywhere yet but, I think he'll be crawling early.  he not only is a mover, he gets it.  He understand how to move forward.  He is starting to notice his hands more. they will catch his eye and he'll stare at them for a while! He does not fit into his NB clothes at all.  He is in 0-3 all the way! So cute!
