2 Months

Scott is 2 months old today! Man where has the time gone?! He's getting to be very chubby. He's got chubby cheeks, fat rolls on his thighs, double chin, cute little belly, and I noticed today while taking pictures that his wrists are starting to disappear. But who doesn't love a chubby baby?! His two month doctor's appointment is next week so I'll know for sure how big he is then, but about 2 weeks ago he was 12 pounds according to the bathroom scale. Here's a few things he likes to do now

-Watches anything that moves, especially the birds on his swing and Collin and I moving around the house
-LOVES mornings. He talks and smiles like crazy in the mornings. He usually wakes up around 7. Scott and I hang out in our bed in the mornings after he wakes up. We just sit there talking to each other and smiling. It's so fun!
-Also in the mornings, he loves to lay there without clothes on. Also loves having his pants off after we change his diapers.
-Started pulling on my hair
-Always falls asleep in the car
-When he's upset he gets most calm when he's held up by our shoulders, his cheek touching ours, and us shushing right in his ear.
-He went to Collin's school for the first time on Tuesday. We went and had lunch with him.
-Has been to the chiropractor and adjusted several times already. He's a champ there.
-Finally starting to take naps during the day! It makes him much happier in the evenings.
-Sleeps great at night. Wakes up to eat usually twice during the night but always falls right back asleep afterwards.
-Loves baths and has now started kicking and splashing a little
-The other day I was listening and singing to Disney music while I sewed. He was laying on the floor "singing" with me. It was so funny! His favorite songs were "Kiss the Girl", "Be a Man", "You've Got a Friend in Me", and "Do You Want to Build a Snowman".
-Collin played dodgeball last week and Scott just sat there watching the whole thing. I'm sure it was fascinating for a baby to see lots of movement.
-Has started "yelling". It's almost like he now realizes he can "talk" so he has to be really loud sometimes, much like his mom. He can't be part of the Barker family without being loud :)

He curls his toes and smashes his feet together like this all the time

Deer in the headlights

Great smile like his dad

Look how big he is!!!

Love his huge smile and chubby cheeks!

When his hand is in a fist it's almost always like this. 

Also, notice his wrist that is no longer visible

He's getting his saliva now so he moves his tongue in and out almost constantly. It's so cute!

When he was born he sucked on his hand a lot. It stopped for awhile but has now started again. 

And of course, with a very loud sucking noise every time!

We sure love our little Scotty! We've loved being his parents for the past 2 months and are so excited to see him continue to grow and develop!
