We're getting lots of smiles from this happy baby. He likes to talk and wiggle, and he's always alert.

Two months old! I love his little toothless smile! It makes me so happy!

I also like picking his boogers...haha :)

His double chin! He is almost two months old here :)

This week, I mustered up the courage to drive with baby for the first time! It went pretty well the first couple of times, but the last time was not so successful. I was driving T to the airport and he was fine until we hit the freeway. From there to the airport he was really upset and couldn't stop crying. T tried all sorts of comfort measures with him but he didn't respond to any of them. It was so heartbreaking to see real tears on his cheeks when dropping off T at the departures loading zone. Immediately, I drove off, looking for a good place to park and nurse, but magically, he fell asleep! I went straight home after that and he was much happier once he got out of his car seat.

His little dimples! Also, he graduated from newborn sized diapers to size 1! 

This past Sunday (the 6th), we had our first big outing. We went to a friend's baby shower and were able to stay all the way until the end. Originally, we had planned on just showing up early and staying for an hour or two, but he seemed ok with being out so we just continued to hang out. Before we knew it, the shower was over, and we had a successful first big outing!

This is what he looks like when he's very tired and ready to go to sleep. These days, he'll fall asleep only when being nursed or by being bounced on the yoga ball.

Here, you can see J watching tv while holding the baby. 

Here, the baby has fallen asleep due to J's awesome yoga ball bouncing skills

And here is a picture of the baby's first manicure! I finally decided to cut his nails because his scratch mittens were getting so stinky! His hands would get sweaty and linty in them and on top of that, he'd wipe his mouth with them after nursing. This made the mittens super stinky and gross, therefore, I decided it'd be best if I just cut his nails. At first, it was scary, but with these baby light-up clippers, it made the job a lot easier.

This was Tiff's birthday and Mars' first outing. We had brunch at Troya because it was across the street from Tiff's house, which made us feel a bit safer in being out with him. I had everything prepared, I even pumped ahead of time in case he got hungry during our meal. In the beginning, he slept most of the time, but got a bit fussy towards the end. J had to stroll him around the neighborhood to keep him happy. Overall, it was a successful outing (not counting him crying on the way home and us having to pull over to nurse him)!
