It's pretty common that I come back in the room to find Andrew sleeping in Aaron's arms. And Aaron is asleep too. I like to take those opportunities to get out the camera. Because honestly I think it's about the cutest thing ever :)

Sleeping Boys
When Aaron gets home from work, I usually hand Andrew off to him so I can get a break and so he can have some time with our son. I usually either start dinner, use the computer, or get some things done around the apartment. And unless he just had a nap, Andrew is often getting tired around that time for his last nap of the day.

Baby Blessing
We had Andrew's Baby Blessing at church at the beginning of February. We are lucky to have family pretty close, so they could come for the day.
Aaron's parents came down from New York for the weekend- this was the first time they met Andrew.
My parents, Austin, Mariko, Harrison, Natalie, and Chris also came from Virginia. It was so great to have all of them here!
My mom made Andrew his white blessing outfit. He looked so cute in it! My little man, all dressed in white.
Aaron gave a beautiful priesthood blessing to our son, assisted by our bishop, our fathers, Austin, and Chris. Of course I cried as I felt the spirit and as I felt God's love for Andrew.
Everyone came back to our place for lunch after church and we had a great afternoon eating and hanging out as a family.

Two Months!
Little Man is getting so big! It's crazy how I can look back at his newborn photos and already see so much change.
Andrew is getting stronger too. I'm not very consistent with daily tummy time, but he has learned to hold himself up anyway. I was waiting for the change table to be available at Wegmans soon after his two month mark and another woman started talking to me as she washed her hands. She thought he was three months old since he was sitting up against my shoulder with his head held high, looking around at everyone and everything. Seriously, this kid loves to look around and see everything. It's nearly impossible to get him to sleep during church on Sundays (his usual nap time) because there are just too many people to smile at!
He had a growth spurt sometime in his second month. At his one month doctor visit he was 70th percentile for weight and only 30th percentile for height. At two months he jumped to 88th percentile for weight and 80th for height (about a week after his two month birthday, but still). And he wowed the nurse and the doctor with his toothless smile and joyful giggles.
He sleeps for one 6-hour stretch at night, then a few 2-3-hour stretches after that. He still naps in our arms, any attempts to put him in the crib (or bouncer, or carseat, etc.) for naps have failed, except for the occasional miracle. So we, while still tired during the day, are not new-parent-zombies anymore. At least most of the time :)
