i'm slacking---

it's been awhile! no picts today but i do have a ton to post, plus the two month octopus pictures. it seems our little guy is growing up, just in the last two days he is grabbing at things, babbling quite a bit, and has started drooling. he is starting to sleep quite a bit more at night, usually till about 4am, and i think we are going to start putting him to bed earlier so that probably means that 4am will now be 3ish.

for more dramatic news, jeff and i are 90% sure we are moving to the outer banks, north carolina in february. its no secret that working in construction sucks right now and jeff is running out of work, so why not go be beach bums and try to figure out how to make it work, if its good then we've taken a huge adventure and get to live out by the ocean, if its bad we'll pretty much be taking a year long vacation and come home a bit poorer than before. we're trying to rent the house so if you know anyone please send them our way!

yes, we have been there once! we went in may while i was pregnant, its pretty neat out there. big vacation area so it'll be interesting to be townies. its a barrier island off the coast, so on one side is sound and on the other is ocean, there are bridges that connect you in. and of course the surf there is great =) what about me and a&o, well it could be a great opportunity its a huge destination wedding area, and my research shows that they don't have any stationers in the area. i am redesigning my site and adding some 'ready to mail' options..... i'll link it when i get finished!

2 month shots!

poor little guy!!!!! he tried to suck it up but half way through the second shot he had had enough. it's a little traumatizing holding his little arms while the nurse holds his legs and sticks him in the the thighs--- he has done pretty good all day but i think he might be starting to run a fever and i don't even want to know what that is like at this point so i gave him some tylenol. little guy is sleeping peacefully!

as far as his check up everything looks good, he's now 12 pounds 6 ounces and growing normally. all of his measurements are in the 50% so i think we are going to escape the kid with the giant head phenomenon that seems to happen as they grow.

since he has been doing so well on the acid reflux meds, which when the doc had perscribed she put him on a really high dose to get him normal so i wouldn't loose my mind, we are going to start to pull back on one of the meds and hope that only have one kind will be enough. so the next few weeks will be interesting!

i do have birth announcements, and guess where they are? sitting on my coffee table, i swear i will get them out one of these days..... that magical day when i can get a shower and leave the house in one day....
