he's two months old now! whatt?! this summer has flown by and we're moving back home to utah in just a few days. we'll miss st louis and the memories we've made here. colsen has grown so much these past 2 months and it's exciting watching him explore the world around him and learn new skills.
some notes about colsen this past month:

+ his eye lashes have definitely grown longer and are starting to curl (soo cute)
+ holds his head up strong!
+ is so happy when he's on the changing table and loves to kick his legs
+ smiles all the time
+ loves being cuddled next to mommy in the k'tan wrap. he even stopped crying when he saw me putting it on!
+ is quite the talker in the morning
+ has been sleeping through the night consecutively the past week (!!!) we sure are happy about that!
+ poor guy has acid reflux but it's been much better now that we know how to help him
+ getting more rolls on his thighs and arms
+ likes to be under the play mat and has a strong grip on the links and toys hanging
+ sometimes prefers to be sitting up and looking around rather than laying down
+ easily goes down for naps and puts himself to sleep

twice this week it's happened! i put him down for his nap in the crib - swaddled him & gave him his binky, and he was happy to go to sleep. i went in to check on him and he was just looking around smiling and content... and not asleep yet! so i grabbed my camera to take a photo of him (because how i could i pass up an opportunity like this?!) when i went to take a photo, he looked right at the camera and gave me a big smile! he is such a cheese ball and so full of little surprises these days. goodness, i love this boy so much!
