2 months old!

At 2 months, Gregory is learning all kinds of new things. He absolutely loves to look at toys and things suspended above him. He really loves the new toy hanger that was a gift from his Great Aunt Karen. He is also working really hard at getting his hands into his mouth. He can get his hands clasped together, but instead for lifting them up, he bends down his head and ends up slumping over! He is awake for much longer periods now, absorbing the environment around him. I am keeping quite busy making new mobiles and things for him to enjoy. We are also working at getting him to nap in his own bed. He still needs to be helped to sleep (usually in the wrap) but then I lay him down - half the time he wakes up within a few minutes, but sometimes he actually sleeps for an hour or two all by himself!

Greg is also becoming quite the well-traveled little man. Last weekend we took him to Minneapolis for the first time. Daddy and Grandpa Mike went to a Vikings game - they are looking forward to when Greg is old enough to go along. Otherwise, we spent the weekend wandering around the Mall of America and other shopping areas. We also had brunch with Dan's high school friend Jenny and her daughter Elsie. Blog readers may remember Jenny as the one who introduced us to Montessori. It was great seeing how Elsie has grown!

Well, here are more pictures I know you all are waiting for. These are the best of the best - believe it or not, I have about 400 more in my computer! We can't get enough of his smiles!
