Introducing...

He was 9lbs 4ounces, 22.75 inches long.

He is now a month and a half, 11lbs 12ounces, and longer :) 

Leo is pretty much our favorite thing in the world. Even though he is our little stinker butt, he can do no wrong. In fact, every little thing he does still makes us smile and fawn over him.

He eats great, sleeps pretty good, and is mostly predictable in his routine and when he's fussy.

Leo loves to be swaddled, he loves baths, car rides, eating, 'standing,' kisses, music, being read to, and staring at blank walls.

Leo does not love being poked in the foot- he had jaundice and had to be poked a lot, gas- :( he has a lot, binkies-except for sleeping, transitions, and if he has to wait to eat right after waking up up. 

He started smiling last week and is mastering it well, to mom and dad's delight. He holds his head up very well. And he coos and 'talks' all the time. 

My phone has probably over a thousand pictures and videos of him because I just cannot get enough of his cute self. 

I'll only share a few favorites :)

     He seemed so fat in the hospital! :)

            Finally coming home!

                Here's the little fat!

                 Lobster Leo!

We would've come home on Halloween, but he had to stay another day. We found this costume for him a while ago and I had to at least put it on for a picture.

                  Angry old man!

                    His bold face

                     So squidgey!

                 We love this face

His angry face makes me laugh every time :)

                      Peek-a-Leo

   He talks the most during tummy time

He is so wide-eyed and alert during bath time

Subtle differences that make them all my favorite and therefore none can be deleted :)

His smile is my favorite! He was falling asleep and I started talking to him and he gave me this grin! 

Yeah, I think we'll keep him :D

That white shirt is Steven :) in September he started playing on a men's indoor league with my brother and some friends. I love watching sports when I know the people who are playing, so it's even better when I get to watch Steven :)

This photo is blurry but it was when Steven made a goal so I have to post it :)

He gets better with every game and it's so fun to watch. 

There he is on the right :) half the team had never played before so it was definitely a season of learning. 

They start a new round of games this Tuesday (the league plays every Tuesday for about 8 weeks, then they can choose to keep playing another 8 weeks or not).

I'm very ok with being a soccer wife :)
