Captain Adorable @ 2 Months

Goodness gracious.  Misha man is two months plus a little extra something somethin.  Today was his two month doctor's appointment.  The boy is growing!  Since his birth, he has almost doubled in weight.  Misha weighed in at 11 lbs. 6 ounces.  At 23 1/4 inches long, Misha is in the 63% for length and his long legs suggest this may continue increase.  And, according to our spunky pediatrician, Misha is on the verge of releasing his first rounds of laughter!


Over the last few weeks, Misha has learned some new tricks.  He...
-smiles often (when awake and asleep!)
-holds his hands together
-smiles at colorful mobiles
-pushes off of his legs when held or laying on his back
-rolls from his belly onto his back
-enjoys the pacifier











Misha loves...
-morning jumping exercises and dancing to "Gangnam Style"
-listening to us read books to him and staring at the illustrations
-bath time in his blue kitchen sink bathtub.
-getting his diaper changed (once the dirty diaper is off)...I have found that using a blowdryer is key! He is diaper rash free!
-singing songs with mom
-snuggling with mom and dad when he should be sleeping in his own crib.
-running with mom (he's in the stroller, of course!)
-listening to dad play piano
-eating!  He is happy with bottle or nursing, though nursing certainly seems preferred.

This month, Misha met three of his great grandparents as well as additional extended family at Greg's nine-year memorial in Naperville, Illinois.  Misha cuddled with Baka (though he seemed disappointed that he wasn't able to feast on her amazing array of desserts quite quite yet).

Misha also visited with his great grandparents Richards at their lovely apartment overlooking a river running through the center of town.  Both great grandparents loved to hold the little guy.

Misha's second month of life came to a close with another fun-packed weekend with Granmary in Minneapolis.  The weekend was filled with runs with mom AND Granmary (who is training for her second women-only triathlon!), witnessing his first real Orange Mighty gig at the Mill City Farmer's Market (you can see Mike playing piano in the far back of the photo below!), and, of predictably, several trips to Dairy Queen.
