Hux 2 months

Baby Hux is 2 months old!  Huxy is sleeping better during the night and starting to get in a routine.
He also smiled for the first time, at his Momma, 3x in a row:)

Gram and Auntie have gotten a smile, but it may or may not have been related to rem sleep...but we are going to count it anyway.

Huxy is really enjoying the fan and chandelier just like his cousin Otto did at this age.  When it gets to be too much (sensory overload) there's usually a sneeze, followed by hiccups.  We get it Hux, there's a lot going on at Grams.  Between the ceiling stuff and the dogs, he is constantly bombarded by sensory opportunities.

Lily is loving Hux.  She cannot stay away from him.  Lily gets her stuffed toy and lays as close as possible to Huxy's head until I shoo her away.  This dog loves babies!

Hux has been going on lots of walks in the stroller and seems to really enjoy them.  They put him right to sleep, just like the car does.  I tell Momma, those are two great things.

The 0-3 month clothes are almost too little for Hux.  His toes go right to the very end.  This little guy is growing fast.  At his 2 month checkup he was 23% wt. at 11 lbs. 4 oz. and 48% ht at 23 inches. This is on the regular birth chart!  Like I said he is growing fast!  The Dr. also told Momma that at his size, which is 3 weeks adjusted age, he would've definitely been over a 10 pound newborn if she would've went full term.

The cabin is such a relaxing place

Fairs

Gram, Grandpa and Otto have spent some time at the local fairs this month.  The first fair we went to was in Chisholm, MN.  We were lucky enough to spend some time with cousins, Fiona, Quinn and Dec while we were there.

As appears to be the case most often, Fiona and Otto were the ones infatuated with the animals.  They are definitely the "Doolittles" in our family.

The biggest "awe" moment for Otto was watching the 4 wheelers do jumps.  He was so serious and intense while watching, his body actually shook and jumped when they jumped.  It was like a virtual reality for Ot.

Yes, they were happy, even though they don't look like it;)

Pig noises

We are having a great time listening to Otto say new words and animal noises.  He's just so much fun!

He's got the cow, goat, chicken, duck, elephant, bear, horse, dog and lion down and maybe a couple more, but that darn pig noise is a toughy.

 

Those facial expressions just kill me.  Love this toddler age, such personality!
