Trey turned 2 months old while we were in PA - it is amazing to see how much he is changing. He is so alert. He is smiling all the time now. His eyes study our faces whenever we hold him, and he loves to hold his head up and look all over the room. He is sleeping 5 - 7 hour stretches at night. His eyes are no longer blue but more of a hazel green - the color of David's and my eyes. My friend Judith gave him some toys that can attach to his car seat handle - one of them is a duck that he is very intrigued by. He just stares at the duck - and then he smiles at the duck...and then he looks very seriously at the duck. He seems like a very happy baby. He usually only cries when he is hungry or when he just wants be lay in his crib because he is tired. He is still a snuggly little boy, and we make sure he gets all the cuddle time that he needs. He is still exclusively breastfeeding and it is going very well.
Trey went to see Dr. Herron yesterday and weighed 11 lb. 15 oz. which is in the 51% He is 21 3/4 inches long - pretty short compared to other baby boys his age. He had to get 3 vaccine shots and one vaccine by mouth. He cried and it broke both David's and my heart to hear him cry in pain. Thankfully he settled quickly. He has been a little fussy since the shots and has slept a little more than normal, but so far, no fever or allergic reaction. We are thankful for a healthy baby.

He is so beautiful Joy! I am happy for you! VERY, VERY happy. He makes me want another baby. BRING ON THE BABIES! I know what you mean about the shots and the crying. That used to be my least favorite thing about monthly checkups. Love, Becky
