Guess who is 2 months...

(..and a week because of the late post)
MAX is!
Last week we had his 2 month check up. He had some of vaccinations (we decided to spread them out a little so we will go in each month instead of every 2 months) and did A LOT better than I thought. I think it is a lot scarier for us parents thinking that their sweet little ones are going to get poked with that NEEDLE! But all he did was scream once and then was smiling at me again! I was so proud of him! He did get a little fussy that night and want to be held but it was because he had a fever near 100 degrees. But nothing that Tylenol couldn't fix!
He is SERIOUSLY getting so BIG! I can't believe how fast he has grown!
Here is how he was at 2 months:
Weight: 13 lb 7 ounces (90% range) -- YES he is a CHUNK!
Height: 24 inches ((90% range)
Head: 15.5 inches (40% range)
He is doing great and is such a HAPPY baby! I honestly feel so blessed to have such a good baby. Michael and I were both HORRIBLE babies so we thought for sure that our offspring would be just as bad as we were (punishment for what we did to our parents) but he is the opposite! He is smiling a lot and is starting to "talk" with you. It is quite entertaining. He loves it when he gets his books read to him and loves hearing "how much is that doggy in the window" song preformed by his out of tune mother (it actually calms him down when he is fussy). He is starting to drool a lot and needs to wear a bib a lot of the times. He has rolled from his stomach to his back a couple of times (see video) and is now starting to like playing with his juggle gym thingy he lays under. He is almost giggling - it just seems like he wants to so badly but it won't come out!

He is honestly the perfect baby for us! I just wish he would sleep longer at night! He goes to bed around 10:30 - 11:00 pm and wakes up at 2:30am AND 5:30am to eat! Going back to work in the next couple weeks is going to be ROUGH! But he is worth it!

Here is a little video of the little guy. I try and take these often and send them to my family. Ignore how dumb I sound!

Happy Halloween!

After WEEKS and WEEKS of debating on what to be for Halloween..... And nearly giving up on Friday I finally gave in and decided to quickly sew some things up for Max and me....and bloodied up a costume for Michael. 

So here is what we came up with....

Don't be too scared... its really just us dressed up. 

Do I have a blue eyed baby boy?

They always say that babies eye color can change after they are born but these seem blue to me... who knows!
Maybe my quarter Chinese baby boy will have blue eyes!

What have those Angelasto's been up to lately?

Hanging out at Memory Grove enjoying the nice fall day.... 

Having the dog walk the baby at the park.... 

Trying to eat dad's face because we were so hungry... 

Taking naps together..... 

Watching the Utah game with Dad.... (with the AWESOME blanket Mom made!) 

Visiting Grammy Pammy in Boise... 

Sleeping on the long drive back from Boise.... 

And visiting Great-Grandpa (Jade's Grandfather) in Boise..... 

It has been a fun last couple weeks. We made a quick surprise trip up to Boise to show off the little one. My Grandfather has been anxiously waiting to see Max. It was a priceless moment for him to get to hold him. He is actually blind so he wasn't able to "see" him but was able to make out a little of his face. He kept saying that he knows my Grandmother has seen him and is watching over him as well. It is comforting to know that he does have angels watching over him! While we were in Boise we saw some friends and lots of family. 

Other than our trip to Boise, we have been spending lots of time with Max. We are somewhat starting to get the hang of "parenthood" but still figuring things out each day. It has helped to have some "Baby Books" around to reference! 

Max is nearly 7 weeks old which means I have only about 1 more month at home with him before I go back to work. I know I need to cherish the time I have with him before I have to go back, but I can't help dreading that day! I sometimes wish I could stay home but also love my job.. I wonder if I could just take Max with me each day! 

I am so excited for this Fall season! It is my most FAVORITE time of year! So look for lots of Halloween and Fall pictures to come! 

Yes, we are "those people"

After all the years of making fun of "those cars" and "those families" we have joined them and added one of these flashy signs to our car. No it was not my idea, but Michael's.He thought that with us driving to Boise that fellow drivers and truckers would be more friendly when passing us or driving near us.

And thank goodness its not on my car........yet.

Everyone is gettin' a little older!

Guess who is officially 1 month old!
And guess who is now 32 years old!
My 2 boys are getting older and older!
Yes, Max is now 1 month old! I can't believe how fast time has flown by! It honestly seems just like yesterday that I was still pregnant! Over the last month he has brought us so much joy and happiness. I honestly cannot describe how much I love him! I could stare at him all day long. I don't want to jinx us but he is such a good baby. He is on a fairly good schedule and sleeps well through the night. He isn't anywhere close to "sleeping through the night" but only wakes up 2-3 times a night and once he eats he goes right back to sleep. He is nursing great and makes the funnies sounds when he is eating, he does the cutest little snort! When we went into the doctor for his 2 week appointment he was back up to his birth weight plus a little ( 8 lb 8 oz). He said that he "WELL PAST the recommended 1/2 ounce per day gain" so he is quite the chunk these days. He is starting to smile a little bit when we play with him and recognizes us when he sees our faces. When he does decide to fuss (usually only for his afternoon nap) he likes to be held and sung to; Michael is obviously a better singer than I am, I usually make up words to lullaby's that I have forgotten the words to. When he does finally sleep, he makes funny little faces and noises. His eyes flutter, just like me when I sleep. Michael says he looks a lot like me when he is sleeping and looks like him when he is awake. But he does change so much every day. (Right now we are suffering from "baby acne" and going a little bald on the top of his head, so we call him George Costanza) We are both so happy to have little Max in our lives! I sometimes feel like I could have 5 of him and still wouldn't have enough!

And yes, Michael also celebrated his birthday this week. We have had so many visitors in and out of town that I didn't really plan much for his birthday. I am a bad wife, I know. But his family did come over and we went out to dinner. Even though I did give him a child for his birthday, I also got him an OVERPRICED University of Utah sweatshirt that he had been wanting for months, maybe I am not a bad wife?
Happy Birthday Michael! Max and I both love you!

Here are some pictures from the past week... I will post more later..

Bath time
Sleeping (what's new?)


Smiling - maybe at me? maybe because he passed some gas?

I just love this little guy!

Also Happy Birthday to many many family members!
Happy Birthday Sammy! Jared! Robin! Katie!
September is a Birthday month for Michael's side!

I'm in love

I just can't help myself. I am so in love with this little guy.
