Blake at 2 Months

Blake is 2 months old already, and we can't believe it! Our little man is really coming into his own. He is a very happy baby as long as he has had plenty to eat and plenty of sleep.

Blake had a doctor's appointment and 7 weeks, and his stats were astounding... He weighed in at 12lb. 6oz. which puts him in the 68 percentile for his age. And he was 24 inches long which puts him in the 96 percentile for height. USC football here we come!

Other cool new developments in Blake's world this month:

• He is "cooing" up a storm. He loves to try to talk to Mommy and Daddy, and often the ceiling fan. 
• He is able to do a quarter turn, and get stuck on his side. 
• He loves to smile and laugh when you make faces at him. 
• He is trying desperately to figure out how to suck his thumb, but only finds it occasionally. 

 Here he is at 2 months

Below are some random shots from my phone over the last month

The Ducey Wedding

Our good friends, Nat and Melissa, tied the knot Saturday, July 27th. They had a beautiful ceremony at an estate in Fallbrook. Melissa did an amazing job personalizing her wedding, and truly thinking of every last detail. We had a wonderful time eating, drinking, and dancing the night away with many of our closest friends. And a special thank you goes out to Grandma for babysitting!

Independence Day

Fourth of July! And boy are we celebrating differently this year... I guess that's what a newborn will do to your social life. But we still had plently of fun.
We met up with our neighbors, Ian, Tracy, and Isla at our pool for the babies first swim. Blake seemed to mildly enjoy himself (or at least he didn't cry), and spent about 40 minutes in the water with Mom and Dad. Unfortunately, Isla didn't enjoy the water as much.
After the pool, we had a bbq at Ian and Tracy's home, and enjoyed some delicious burgers!
