Just some pictures...

I caught Beau during a nap with his thumb in his mouth.

Some tummy time.
He looks so cute in his little man clothes. I couldn't get him to look at the camera though.

He loves this swing. I do too. He can swing and I get stuff done!

Leo and Beau. I have no idea why they are sitting in our bathtub. I think I was doing my hair or makeup and they were sitting and watching.
Love this smile.
Beau loves loves loves bath time. He has started splashing and playing in the water. We also use it as part of our "bedtime routine". We do bath, feeding, swaddle and rock in that order every night. We've been sleeping through the night since.

Date night returns to the Furlong house

Last Friday night Leo and I let my mom and dad babysit for a couple of hours so we could have our fist dinner out together alone since we became parents. Leo even braved the menu at Carpe Diem in Decatur which happens to be one of my favorite places...not exactly a slab of meat and side of potatoes though. I had looked forward to date night all week and spending time with Leo without having to worry about the baby. We had a good time, but its so funny how all we really talked about was Beau. I only called once the two hours we were gone...ok and I cried just a little. I even considered skipping dessert so we could go back... but only for a second...hehe. My mom took the above picture of us. Our first family photo. The shadows make all of our hair look big and Beau looks like he's bored out of his mind.

These are some pictures I took of mom and Beau. (Right now we are calling her Granny P... it all started as a joke but then it kind of stuck. Beau can decide what to call her when he starts talking)...Well they are up at the top because the thingy won't let me add pictures at the end.

I can't believe its been two months!

Its hard to believe its been two months. It seems to have just flown. My boy is getting big so fast. I am so looking forward to him growing and being able to experience all his "firsts", but I am soaking up every second we spend together now, and it makes me a teeny bit sad knowing he won't stay little for long. It is so sweet and awesome rediscovering the world with Beau. This past week it was his hands. He can sit and stare at his little fists for hours.

As I was looking through the close to 200 pictures we have of Beau I realized that I was only in the couple from the hospital. Not exactly frame-worthy photos of mom... Anyway I finally forced Leo to take a couple a me and Beau. I hope we can get professional family photos done soon...

Oh yeah! ... and for those who are interested we are having Beau baptized on Mother's Day at Kingswood United Methodist in Dunwoody. We would love for everyone to join us on this special day. We will probably be hosting something afterwards... will post details we decide on them.

Just to make you smile...

Leo got this great shot of Beau. It is my new favorite I think.

7 Weeks down...

OK... Mom is taking over the blog now. I'll try and keep it more up to date and add a little bit of commentary so you guys can know what we've been up to! We went to the pediatrician last Friday and got a super report. Beau is super healthy and growing so fast. He is now 12 lbs and 5 oz and 23 inches long. Everyday he does something new, and has recently started smiling, which melts my heart. He coos all the time. Just recently he has started sleeping for 7-9 uninterrupted hours during the night...hope its not a happy accident, but we'll take it for now! I took a lot of these pictures today...many of them are similar but you start to see Beau's little personality come out!
