2 Months Old on the 4th of July!

Time flies when you're having fun... and it blasts right past you when you have 2 little boys!!!! Mason is already 2 months old and even though it seems like yesterday when we were waiting for him to arrive, he has already assimilated himself into our daily routine. He has managed to keep the full head of long brown hair he was born with and it is as wild as ever, shooting out in all directions.
His 2-month check-up with the doctor confirmed what we already knew, Mason is healthy, happy, and growing at an incredible rate!!! At the check up he weighed 13 lbs 3 ozs (84th percentile), was 24.5 inches long (93rd percentile) and a head circumference of 16.4 inches (87th percentile). If you are like us, you will have gone back to Hunter's 2 month measurements and see that Mason has outgrown his big brother at this stage! The doctor even commented during our visit that he is bigger than most 4 month olds.
Mason is really starting to interact with us these days...he follows us with his eyes all around the room and does lots of cooing and gurgling. He also has one of the best smiles in the world, and all you have to do to get one is make eye contact!! He is indeed a sweetheart! Mason can also bat at and grasp his toys and is even, on occasion, rolling over from front to back when placed on his tummy.
Coinciding with the 2 month anniversary of his birth was 4th of July weekend. It was pretty hot, but our neighbors threw one of the biggest (and longest) backyard parties we have ever witnessed on our block. The party lasted for 2 days and included a 60 foot tent, volleyball net, tons of delicious food and drinks, and a 2-story tall, 67 foot inflatable water slide for the kids (including Ryan) to play on. In addition to seeing the town of Bel Air's fireworks from our backyard, our neighbors also put on a show of their own which was quite spectacular, though it did end with one misfire into an inflatable pool in another neighbors yard, which is now, sadly, no longer inflatable!
All-in-all, we feel very lucky, very happy, and very TIRED these days. It is just hard to believe we have wrapped so much into the first 2 months... the next few should be a wild ride!!!
