The Great Outdoors








It has finally gotten a little warmer here in Milwaukee, so Sean has been discovering the "great outdoors" through walks with his mama. Mostly he sleeps in the stroller, but occasionally he'll look around. After being inside for so long, it's nothing short of amazing to go outside in shorts and a tank top and feel the sun on your skin. I'm still a warm weather girl-through and through.




Sean seems to be growing up before our eyes. Collin came home from work yesterday and swore Sean had grown an inch and gained 2 pounds while he was gone. He smiles a ton and is starting to interact with us a little more. At his 2 month check-up, he weighed 14 pounds, 11 ounces, and was 25 1/4 inches long: the size of your average 6 month old. It goes without saying, we get an arm workout daily!




He is now sleeping through the night. Collin and I pretty much get 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Not bad for having a baby! I've already forgotten what it was like in the beginning, waking up every 2 hours. Let's hope I don't remember before the next one comes along.




We blessed Sean this past Sunday. It was really special. I was glad he didn't cry or "fill his diaper" during the blessing. It was also his first time at church. He slept like an angel the last two hours of church. I was nervous for nothing.




Sean will be taking his first trip next week to Indianapolis for the mini. Can't wait!!

What darling photos! Thanks so much for sharing! I didn't realize how big a boy he was when he was born, nor how big he is now. Wow! Genevieve has always been big for her age, but it sounds like Sean takes the cake. Congrats on the blessing! We will be anxious to finally meet him at Al's wedding this summer. Love you all!
