First Trip to the Beach





Last weekend, we met up with my cousin, Lisa, and her husband Adam and son Stephen, at Malibu for a picnic and afternoon at the beach. We had a great time even though it got a bit chilly. Although Chris and I met, dated, and spent a lot of time here in Southern California, we have never gone to the beach together during the day! We have gone to evening barbeques and taken walks on the beach at night, but have never hung out at the beach during the day. So this was a first not only for little Christopher, but also for Chris and me!



Christopher did pretty well. He fussed a bit but slept most of the time. We enjoyed getting in the water, laying out in the sun, and watching Stephen eat sand. After a couple of hours at the beach, we went out to eat and had fun catching up while the 2 little boys slept.



Also, on Friday Christopher had his 2 month checkup, and we found out that he is in the 50-75 percentile for weight and height (23 1/4 " and 12# 1oz), and 25 percentile for head circumference. He is healthy and strong and is doing really well.

2 Months Old




Here is just a quick update - sorry it's been a while! Life is great here in Orange County. Chris is enjoying his internship and is working a ton, little Christopher is growing fast, and I'm still absolutely loving being a mom. Christopher is over 2 months old and has his checkup in a couple of days. I'm curious to find out how his height and weight have changed and what percentile he is in.
As the video shows, he is a lot more alert and interactive, and we love getting smiles and cute noises from him. I'll add more to the blog soon! (I had issues with the picture refusing to stay in the right direction again- has anybody else had that problem and been able to fix it?)
