Heavy, Two month old Bean...

Bean is two months old today, can you believe it?!! He's been a busy bean, here's the skinny:

• He now recognizes his daddy and gets real excited when Jason gets home from work. Lots of smiles and laughing as daddy talks to him. It's the cutest thing you've ever seen.
• He's laughing and smiling all of the time during his alert periods of the day. (See pics below)
• If I put him on his tummy for tummy time he can now flip himself back over onto his back. He's not really a fan of tummy time.
• He's "talking", lots of baby babble and cooing.
• His eyes follow the dogs and cat as they walk around him and he tries to look for them if he hears them bark or meow.
• He REALLY enjoys listening to classical music and will lay on his back and listen to Vivaldi for 30 min or more while he gets in his "workout". In fact, he has a preference for faster movements of the pieces and will smile and laugh during them! Amazing! His "workout" is flailing his arms and legs in the air.
• He is a good companion for me while running errands, he curls up in his Moby sling and sleeps for most of the time.
• He is now sleeping some nights for a 4 hour stretch, usually from 12 - 4 am, then he goes back to his every 2 hour feedings. We are getting much more sleep around here! Daddy is A LOT less crabby. LOL!
• He weighs 10 lbs 8 oz!!!

So, we have decided to get a different car, the civic has 98,000 miles and only two doors. Having only two doors is more challenging than I thought it would be. Crawling in and out of the backseat with him proves to be difficult. So, I've put a poll up for y'all to vote on our next vehicle of choice. You can probably guess that I'm the one who wants a 08 Honda CR-V, EX-L and daddy of course wants the used BMW 3 series. Keep in mind this will by my mommy mobile for several more years. Or if you have a suggestion please leave me a comment.
