Can't believe it!!

Time has just flown this summer!! Can't believe that our little Gus-Gus is 2 months old! Gus has a doctor's appointment tomorrow where we will find out how much he weighs and he will get 4 shots! OUCH!! Can't wait to see how much our chunky monkey weighs!!

In my biased opinion, Gus is very advanced! He has rolled over 5 times in the past week. Very exciting!! He is also starting to smile a lot which totally melts my heart! LOVE it!! I am so excited to watch him grow and learn to do so many other things in life!

Just a few updates

The 3 Day Walk for Breast Cancer

Gus was the youngest supporter at the 3 Day walk for Breast Cancer this year. He was so proud of his Aunt Sarah who did her 4th walk this year. I forgot to take a picture of the front of his shirt, but it had a pink ribbon on it and said "Tough guys wear pink". Gus' cousin Brendan wore a matching one. (But his said "Mom" on the back where Gus' said "Aunt Sarah".) It was a really hot day, so we only stayed for a little while. But we were glad that we were able to stay long enough to see Aunt Sarah and her friend, Cheryl. We also got to see Sherla, Gail, Kerry and Nan. We are so proud of all of them!!

Gus could be Mother Teresa for Halloween...

I put this picture on here just because it is funny. I love how cuddly Gus is after his bath. When he is wrapped in this towel he reminds us of Mother Teresa minus being a nun, an old lady, and all of the great works that she did. (I am sure that Gus will do great things for this world some day...so far he just made me a Momma and I think that is pretty great!) Just felt the need to share this picture of our cuddly little monkey after his bath. And yes, once we take the towel off the hair on the top of his head sticks straight up on end. LOVE IT!!

AUNT ANNIE!!

Speaking of things that we love....Aunt Annie has been visiting us a lot this summer!! Gus loves his Aunt Annie and we are pretty sure that the feeling is mutual. Annie has gotten really good changing Gus' diapers really fast so that she doesn't get peed on. She is pretty proud of this accomplishment. Aunt Annie comes back to our house tomorrow. She is going to go to cheerleading practice with us, help in my classroom, visit my friend Amy and go to the doctor for Gus with me. Gus has to get his 2 month shots. OUCH!! Not sure who is going to be bothered by it more. Sure, it will hurt Gus, but I may have to pick Annie up off the floor.

He's got skills!

It has been an eventful week here at the Stapleton house. On Tuesday, while at cheer practice with me, Gus decided to roll over for the first time!! He even did it for a second time. Not sure if these are just flukes....or is he just that strong? Either way....I'll take it!! Gus has also become slowly more full of smiles. Yesterday he smiled back at me a couple of times when I was being silly. What a fun moment!! So in turn, I started crying. I was so excited!! This morning, Gus was full of smiles for both his momma and his daddy. I'm not sure who was having more fun....the two of us or Gus. Today Gus and I get to go play with Brendan and Hannah. We are excited to do a fun craft project. Can't wait!!

How soon is too soon?

I am so happy that Gus entered the world with a full head of hair. I don't think that he would be nearly as cute with a bald head. I love that right after his bath his hair sticks straight up on end. People keep telling me that his new born hair would fall out...but when?!?! It has thinned out a little bit, but I think it is just getting longer.

So I am beginning to wonder how soon is too soon to cut my son's hair. He has this crazy baby mullet going on in the back of his head. I am trying to refrain from getting out the scissors. At what point is it reasonable to cut a baby's hair. I'm not asking for much cut off...just the mullet. I am offen told that I am crazy...but would this be over the top?

I am going to try to control myself. But just a warning to all those around us...keep your scissors hidden. There is no telling when I will lose control and go after that MULLET!!
