2 Months and 3 Weeks

2 Month Checkup........

This happened at 11 weeks old. This is driving me bananas. I took at least 6 psychology classes in college all of which reviewed how to verify if experiments and studies were valid, keeping your controls is one of the most important steps! AHHH! How can I report your two month stats when they are technically 2 months and 3 weeks?! Of course you are huge, of course your head is the size of a cantaloupe - by the time the doctor saw you you were practically driving!

Graham, when I accidentally throw away the report card that I was supposed to sign and hand it back to you covered in coffee grinds and old Diet Coke please remember that there was a time I was able focused on the details. Even it it was only for the first few months!

The Brink Experience..................

Sweet little baby boy you spent your first August with some of the best people we could find. The Brinks! My family came one by one to stay for a few days and meet our newest addition. You will know your Brink relatives well, but just as an early introduction to the fam there are a few things that are true about everyone:
1) We love pizza
2) We all laugh LOUD
3) We tell lots of jokes
4) We will help with anything you ever need
5) We will point out everything you need help with
6) We eat olives on everything
7) We stay up late
8) We take coffee seriously
9) We never found an olive pizza that didn't taste good with beer
10) We are filled with joy to welcome a tiny baby boy to our family

Your Grandpa Brink started us off with a visit from Omaha! He came for weekend and we spent our time together touring the neighborhood and making ribs! You even rolled over once for him (TRUE STORY! AT 5 WEEKS! This is bc you are stronger and smarter than most babies. Although as I write this you are 10 weeks old and it never happened again) Uncle Justin came by to walk the puppy, eat ribs, and laugh at how quickly his sister has embraced all that is being a Mom. (and point out how I am exactly like Mom) Next came Aunt Jennifer, she came for a week of baby snuggling! Aunt Jennifer spent her week with you tossed over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes. You screamed, and snuggled, and even saved your first smile her visit. In next, Aunt Jessi! Jessi barely had her suitcase open before I signed her up to babysit. You smiled and worked out for Jessi, while we tried our hardest to convince her to move up to Chicago to be your nanny. (Jessi, the position is still open! I will again offer to under pay you AND not bombard you with questions.....)

We loved our summer visitors!
