Atlas: 2 months old

Week 5: We got brave and went to my friend's birthday party on a Saturday night, just mom and Atlas.
He not only peed during his bath, but pooped all over his towel right after.

Atlas is balding like an old man.

First week at church. We even stayed all three hours. He liked chillin on the floor in our primary class while Weston taught the lesson.

Week 6:  Atlas gives us about 5 minutes of personality and smiles in the mornings. He's starting to be a real boy!
We went on a walk four days in a row.
Weston was really sick with the flu for the week, I got a little sick for 2 days, and Atlas didn't really get sick at all. Thank you breast milk!

Week 7: Grandma Evette and Aunt Karrie came to visit Wednesday through Saturday; Karrie took some great pictures-

Atlas is starting to stick his tongue out a lot.
He makes lots and lots of cute noises, sometimes just opening and closing his mouth like he's trying to talk but without any noise.
He went a whole 5 hours between feedings one night.
Took Atlas on a walk around Lake Murray with Grandma Gardner.
He's starting to look up and focus on mobiles.

Week 8: Atlas is sucking on his fists to self soothe.
Weston and I went out together without Atlas for the first time while Grandma Gardner babysat. We went couch shopping and bought our first piece of new furniture!
Grandpa Hunt and Grandma Teri spent a couple days getting to know Atlas and were there for his blessing day. Some said Atlas looks like Grandpa Hunt.

Atlas was blessed on 3/30/14 by his dad, with Grandpa Hunt, Grandpa Gardner and Great Grandpa Carpenter in the circle. Handsome guys!

Other fun facts: My wrists are finally starting to heal. They were so sore from holding that tiny baby so much during his first month.
I definitely feel the "let down" of my milk. It feels like pins and needles!
Atlas sleeps the lightest from 4-5 in the morning. We call it "The grunting hour" because he just wriggles in his bed and grunts, pretty much the same time every morning.
Atlas has explosive sounding poops. Its really funny when I'm changing him in my bed in the middle of the night and the sound of him pooping so close to Weston's head startles him awake. Sometimes he poops mid diaper change and it makes us jump because poop is suddenly shooting towards us.
Lots of people comment on his great olive skin.
We've come to the conclusion that he has Hunt eyes, a Gardner smile, and a Carpenter face shape. That makes for one cute little
boy!
