If there were ever any doubts….

About these boys not belonging to Gene then this picture will fix that. They all have the same face! This is what a typical evening looks like in the Flores house. All 3 boys, play station 3 remotes and not a single one caring about the Mama! I guess Madden trumps Mom! Love them!

2 months

Trace is 2 months old! I can hardly believe it! The time has flown by and he has grown so much. I love keeping up with where he should be developmentally on www.babycenter.com! It gives me a lot of guidance and security knowing he is right where he needs to be…or a little ahead! Hee hee!

2 Month Stats:

Weight: 12 lb 12 oz     Length: 23.5 in

• Coo’s and Goo’s all the time
• Recognizes his name
• Smiles all the time
• Giggles at his Daddy and Big Brother
• Grasps toys brings them to his mouth
• Tries to suck his thumb with little success, but very entertaining to watch him try
• Hold his head up (starting to use Bumbo)
• Cries a lot! Sometimes for no reason…this can be very trying on Mommy and Daddy, but we have to remember everything listed above!
• Big snuggler
• Wears 3-6 month clothes
• Loves to be in his sling when we go somewhere
• Loves his swing (saving grace when he cries a lot)
• Temper – this one is just like his Daddy! Goes from sweet to angry without warning!
• Adores his big brother even when he is dragging him around the living room by his feet!
• Starting to take a paci to help you sleep
• Eyes are still blue, but I see the brown peaking in

This outfit says it all:

See him gripping the toy! So proud of him. He has been doing this since week 8!

He doesn’t love the bumbo, but he is getting there.

Sweet brothers! Trenton loves the Bumbo and play mat more than Trace does

Trenton is the best big brother Trace could have asked for. He rarely shows jealousy, rarely gets angry at Trace, is always willing to help (especially when we need a paci to make his stop crying haha!).  We always joke around with Trenton that Trace is going to be bigger than him and beat him up one day…so now Trenton says “We Trace gets bigger…I plan to beat him up” Oh geez! I couldn’t have asked for better boys!

Working like Mommy

I have the privilege of working from home from time to time. Since my maternity leave fell in the busiest part of my “work season” I have been working from home a lot. I am also being selfish and keeping Trenton home with me. I hate the idea of paying a school to care for him and pass up on much needed time with him! The other morning I came in the kitchen to find Trenton “working like Mommy”. He thought he was so darn cute with Mommy’s glasses on and I have to admit he is! Trenton has been such a super helper with Trace and I am so happy that they are getting to bond so much before having to go to daycare all day!

Silly Boy! We were both cracking up!

Not sure I love the new squinty face he makes when he smiles, but at least he smiled!!
