2 months old

I can't believe 2 months have passed already!! Julian is a beautiful baby (no I'm not biased). He has such long, strong fingers and long eyelashes....now that I think of it his body seems long too. Maybe he'll be even taller than Manny (3' 6" and almost 3 yrs old) or his father (6'3"). It hasn't been the easiest first 2 months partly due to the fact that there is so much going on in our lives. We still aren't in our new house (that part has been a blessing most days because I've had my mother's help) and Manny is adjusting to not being "the baby" even though he'll always be "my baby" (this is where he'd say, "I'm not a baby, I A BOY!") The only "calmness" in our (J & me) lives is Mon-Thurs 8:30-3:30 (those are the hours everyone else is gone!) Evenings are quite stressful with dinner, homework, baths, books and bed. Julian usually gets so over stimulated that he can't fall asleep and then is miserable. We have had numerous nights of just non stop crying, kinda like colic except I don't believe he is colic. It's almost like he is over tired then can't get to sleep. Almost 5 times each night I will have J asleep and then M will drop a toy, or make a loud "vvrrroomm" noise or something of the sort and J's eyes are open again. It is very frustrating and stressful. There have been a few nights where both boys have been crying their eyes out (because no one was home to help out) and I just escaped downstairs for a few minutes for air. Being in our new home will be fabulous, but I am worried of how things will go with no extra hands!!

The stats from J's check up today are:
Weight: 14 lbs
Length: 23 in

The doctor called him a little butterball... He got 2 shots and is sleeping now. The doctor changed his formula; hopefully this will help put an end to the colic and hours on end of crying each night. We are headed to the allergist after lunch with Manny to have him tested to see what he is allergic to. From there we are off to pick Taina up at school to run the to surveyors office to get the piece of paper we need to get a final inspection (see here)
