Alex had his 2 month checkup and shots on Thursday. He is still growing like a weed at 10 lb 5 oz and 22 1/4 inches! He is in the 25th percentile across the board and the pediatrician was very impressed! He did so well with his shots, too! He did exercise his lungs for about 5 minutes, but then fell asleep for 3 hours. It was a rough day, but we made it through! Now it is as if it never happened =] Mommy and daddy are getting more sleep now! He goes to bed around 9:00 every night and sleeps until about 3:00 or 4:00 then goes back to sleep til around 7:30. We are so thankful!

Whew! Alex and I had our first trip without daddy this weekend. It was quite the adventure and we missed daddy so much! We left Friday morning at 8 am to head up to my parent’s house and arrived at 12:30. Alex slept the whole way up there which I was so thankful for! It made the drive so quick because we didn’t have to stop. Thank you, Alex =] We were able to relax for a few hours before we got back in the car to head over to Rockford for my best friend, Katie’s, bridal shower. It was so great being able to make the trip out there for that. I can’t believe she is getting married next month! I am so happy for her and Sean, they are perfect for each other =] I’m so thankful we were able to stay at Kate’s house Friday so we could spend a little more time with her and her family. It is always a hoot hanging out at the Chrisman house! Thank you so much to my mom for going out the Rockford with me! Alex was so happy to spend time with his grandma Cardy=]

On Saturday morning, my mom and I headed back to her house and Alex got to see his Aunt Sarah and Uncle Jose! We had a great time relaxing and visiting with family. Sarah is starting to look pregnant, which is so much fun! Alex is so excited to meet his new cousin =] Less than 6 months to go!
Alex and I got up suuuuuuper early on Sunday (5:45am) to head down to Mount Vernon for Aunt Shalyn’s baby shower. By this time, Alex was very tired of being in his carseat, so we had to make a few stops to keep him happy on the drive =] It was so nice when we finally got there. Aunt Julie and grandma Reineke did an awesome job putting the shower together. Shalyn looks like she is ready to pop at any moment! Come on, baby Oliver! We are so excited to meet you! Alex got a lot of loving from everyone at the shower, so he was a happy chappy! Thank you, everyone, for the chance to relax and sneak in a nap =]
It is so great to be back home with daddy =] He had a busy weekend going to the Tiger’s game, doing yard work and fighting 6 foot snakes in our backyard. Thanks, hunny, for getting rid of that before we came home! You are the best! We are looking forward to a nice, relaxing week with minimal driving if possible!
As always, pictures for your enjoyment =]
