We are enjoying having an apartment. I am working on learning to cook and being kind of domesticated. Wasn't will to deep clean though so we have housekeeping for that! MAN I GOT SPOILED while living in hotels!

London is doing great! He is between 12-13lbs as of yesterday (we use the bathroom scale with no oz so its iffy LOL). Can't find my tape measure so that will come later. He has learned a few new tricks this last month- he follows things with his eyes, still smiling but now he laughs a little (can't seem to get it on camera though!), he is trying to coo more and more, he has very good head control for his age and loves to stand up ALL the time with help. He is starting to copy our facial expressions like wide open mouth, kissy lips and tongue out..which is so cute! I think his hair is done falling out....it feel out in this weird path around his head like he wore a baseball cap to long!
He is starting to chunk up some which is great for my Cloth diapers! He sleeps an average of 16 hours a day, rarely fussy, almost never cries, and is all most always in the carrier or curled up with us. He is such a cuddly baby which I LOVE!!!!!!!!
He isn't really into any of his toys yet, probably because I don't think he has really found his hands yet, but he does love to look into the hand held mirror and stare at the fan. He likes twinkle twinkle little star and the ABC songs sung to him, he sleeps better to white noise playing and just loves music in general....oddly enough the song that he stops what he is doing so he can listen to is Godsmack's Voodoo LMAO! This little piggy is a big hit as well.
We have learned that he gets a bad tummy when I eat cajun food so after another great meal at the local copelands he got his first (and so far only) bottle. Troy gave it to him and he did great with it, that makes me feel better to know in case I need to be away. He has NO interest in the pacifiers..we have a few types and shapes and all he wants is our pinky finger with nail side on tongue. I have to admit I kind of like the fact he hates the pacifiers!

I'm doing good myself. I am 10lbs lighter then when I STARTED my pregnancy. I ended up with no stretch marks!!!! My body doesn't show any signs of having a baby--NEVER thought that would happen at 31 yrs old. However I get some night sweats now and my body odor is stronger...I have to put on deodorant a couple times a day--Never heard of that as a side effect before.

Troy has lost only 5 lbs of his 25lbs that he put on. LOL He is doing very good at being a daddy....he does all the baths, over half the diaper changes when he is home, takes london in the ergo for walks everyday and just really stepped up at doing things! He gets frustrated though when I'm BFing and can't do much else during it...usually just when he is tired and cranky though LOL.

So thats my little family update! I will hopefully be getting 2month pictures tomorrow..I will share them when I do of course.

yeah! Glad he is doing so well! That is too funny that you weight less pre-pg and Troy still has a ways to go! LMAO. I think I am about at my pre-pg weight or maybe even a little to go and David still has a little belly!

Man your spoilage of not cleaning your apartment has made me think...I hate deep cleaning and end up not doing it and I feel lame because I'm a SAHM and I should do it. But I think with my bday/Christmas money I might pay someone to clean my house! That would make me so happy! Haha.

Anyway glad you guys are doing well. Let me know if you decide to head this way. I want to cuddle a newborn again!

I'm glad everything is going so well for you guys! It sounds like London is a really great baby! Liam's hair fell out in that pattern as well (he was born with black hair). We called it his "Friar Tuck" look.

I had the night sweats and the wight loss. I'm still 7lbs lighter than when I was pregnant and I HATE it! I'm soooo scrawny!

Anyway, it's great to get an update. I'm glad that London is doing well. Cheers on becoming domesticated.

I'm glad to hear you guys are doing so well! I've been wondering about you guys. I can't wait to see new pics of London.

The BO thing is pretty new to me, I've never heard of it. I wonder what the heck causes it?? Maybe most mommies of newborns don't notice anyway because I hear most of them are happy to get in a shower twice a week!

Great update Angela. I too am down about 10 lbs from my pre- pregnancy. My small jeans are too big- and I eat constantly and lots of food- so I just think its from all the BFing!!
Can't wait to see new pics of your London.

I love your updates, Angela It sounds like your little family is doing exceptionally well! I can tell from your FB updates that you're making a real effort at being domesticated Go you!! I'm sure Troy is enjoying it, lol.

We need more London pics ASAP!! I can't believe that he is already 2 months old!

It does sound like he is still the perfect baby. I want you to post new pictures of him on here. I want to see his red hair!

Oh.. I'm totally jealous of the no stretch marks. I'm also 31 with a MILLION stretch marks. I'm about 10 lbs lighter than my pre pregnancy weight too but my tummy will never look the same. My body is softer too and not as firm.
