9 weeks

Our little guy is over 2 months old!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone! And before I even say anything else...I am happy to report he has slept 8 hours STRAIGHT the last two nights!! WOOT! Of course one of those nights I was at the JT concert so I didn't get to enjoy as much as sleep as I would have liked BUT last night I got a good solid 7 hours. Whew. About time! It has been a few weeks since the last update so I have a lot of pictures.

I know I have said it before but Bruce and I have been so blessed with all of the generosity that has surrounded us before, during and after the arrival of Karsen. We had some great baby showers before he was born, wonderful thoughts and prayers during his birth and a rotating door of great visitors after he came home from the hospital. Between all of the baby clothes, toys and meals, we have been abundantly blessed! Just as I thought things were slowing down, a close friend from Archivers offered to throw me a "meet-and-greet" so the ladies could all meet Karsen. WOW! It was a great night. The party was on a Thursday when Karsen was 8 weeks old. Tracy made some super cute decorations and did such a great job planning. I even have some fun diapers to read through while changing Karsen! The ladies wrote a lot of funny jokes on the back of the diapers. Makes the poo change feel a little less like a job.

The host (other Tracey) did a great job decorating the table for the meal. Her tri-leche cake was SUPER tasty and very refreshing. 

Below is a picture of Karsen the morning of the party. He is 8 weeks in this shot. That smile brings so much joy to me! Helps me remember that I must be doing SOMETHING right! :)

Karsen has always had good head control but I got this picture one time when he was just hanging out on the Boppy pillow. Rockin that tummy time!

Here is Karsen on his 2 month birthday! I just love this little green outfit and it is crazy how much tighter it is than when he first blew out of it at his 6 day old doctor appointment. Haha. 

Just for some laughs...here is a picture of us out grocery shopping. Clearly he isn't that excited about it because this is a gigantic yawn! 

Bahaha...the look says "Seriously, mom...are we almost done?!

Well I was really sad when I put this outfit on Karsen because he barely fit in it! Ugh. How did he grow that fast already? But he sure is a handsome guy. 

I just love this little outfit because he truly looks like a little old man! We were going to First Watch with Auntie Chick and then off to the library for Mother Goose Rhyme Time. He fit right in with all of the older men at FW. Of course he slept through the entire rhyme time but that's ok...it was more for mom's sake to get out of the house. 

Bruce and I had the chance to get out of the house for the evening thanks to my mom and Justin Timberlake! On Wednesday we headed downtown to Power and Light for some dinner at Gordon Bierch and then the concert at the Sprint Center. It was a BLAST!!

Last pic is Karsen napping after getting his 2 month shots. I cried just as much as he did, but luckily he stopped pretty quick and has been sleeping/nursing the rest of the day.

Here's hoping to continued longer sleep at night!!
