The novelties

Health: Bruno had his 2 month check up at the doctor's last week. Everything is going swell, as expected: he eats, he sleeps, he smiles. The little muffin is healthy and seems happy. Except he isn't exactly little. He weights 6 kilos and measures a huge 60 cm. And the ped is slightly worried about the size of his head (cefalic perimetre or something), so he's programmed a follow up next month to see how the growing goes.

Transportation: We have started taking little trips in the new car, just the two of us. Since i can't disable the passenger airbag, Muffin rides on the back, making me stop every once in a while to calm a tantrum, feed him or simply kiss him into sleep. He is getting used to the sound of the engine in the car and the music coming out of the radio, allthough he isn't fond of talk shows. He'd rather have full blasting songs around, like his ma.

Rest: I wouldn't want to jinx this by saying out loud, but the muffin is a great sleeper. He takes naps during the day and sleeps bold long hours at night. Last Sunday he had a 3 hour siesta by the Mountain Family pool, allowing me not only a bit of swimming but a also a very much needed dose of slight tanning. The previous night he dozed off at 11 and woke up at 7 am, thus making me wonder had i drank 3 shots of vodka before nursing. Before i get the hate mail, the answer was no.Just 2 shots. Just kidding.

Make 'em laugh
Light up your face with gladness / Hide every trace of sadness / Although a tear may be ever so near / That’s the time you must keep on trying / Smile, what’s the use of crying? /
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile / If you just smile (Nat King Cole "Smile")

Just in case you needed a little 'pick me up' on a monday morning. You're welcome.

Undivided
Waking up at dawn has its charm, especially in the cool June nights, holding a tired baby in your arms. Sometimes i'm even awake enough to lift the cammera into the view from our study, as you can see.

Bruno is sleeping longer hours at night. He's gaining a little less weight but still eating like there is no tomorrow. He goes into full smiles now. I'm expecting giggles any time. He is outgrowing most of his onesies.

Days and nights revolve around Baby. I forget other stuff all the time. A few days ago i decided not to worry about that situation. I'll probably be similar to my older self in a couple of months. Right now i have undivided attention for Bruno. I can't even pour myself a cup of coffee. But i can take nice pictures.

Men



The boys of my life, this morning.
