November

Whoa!

Helloooo November.  Also, Daniel's 2-month birthday came and went.  Am I not the best father in the world?  We did order hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts and entertainment, but the thought of me neglecting to update the blog has left a rift between my son and me.  Whatevs..I'll just keep his diamond-encrusted iPad to myself...don't tell him I took it.

Happy to be sporting jeans.

Well, it's been awhile since I updated this, which means a lot has happened.  Daniel had his 2-month checkup last Friday, and he's coming in at 13 lbs 7 oz!  He's also exceptionally long.  He's in the 93 percentile for his length, the 85 percentile for his weight, and 95% for being a whiny baby.  In regards to the last figure (one which I will take full responsibility for evaluating) I should note that he had his shots at this appointment and Katie swore the needles were at least 8-9 inches long or something.  I think she might have been over exaggerating (or I'm getting my facts crossed).

Katie carved the kitty, I did the bat, and Daniel did the last

Let's see, Katie also headed back to work over a week ago.  The first day was obviously tough, but since then, she seems to have been doing much better.  We're still trying to figure out the best morning routines, but we're fast learners.  Emily and the Cooper family have been great in caring for Daniel.  I'm glad she's already a mother of three, because I would not wish the bodily functions of my son on anyone, but I'm hoping she's "seen it all" by now.  We certainly miss spending the whole day with Daniel, but, as I've said before, we're glad he is in good hands.

Our last post referred to our date night coming up, and a quick note, we ended up ditching out on the movie because we're turning into a couple of old fogeys (I say this as my wife slumbers in the next room at the late, late hour of 8pm.  Granted, our spawn decides to wake her up whenever he's hungry...how rude.

I write this at 8pm on a Thursday night, but I likely will not post this til' Friday because I need to upload pictures and I do not want to wake my shnooky-wooky to get the camera.  Anyways, I'm listening to Daniel chirp and squawk in the other room.  He's very cute.  I'll let him get away with it.  When he's 13 though???...no more chirping. 

Welp, this weekend, we'll be spending time with family and preparing for another week of November.  My mother is currently down in Alabama with her father, my Poppy.  He is not doing so well, so please keep them all in your prayers as we certainly miss them and want the best for everyone this holiday season.  We love you all and will have you in our prayers regardless.

Cutie patootie.
