I took Casey in for his 2 month check up today. He weighs 13.2 pounds and is 24 and 1/4 inches. That is 98% for weight, and 97% for height....at least my little moose is height weight proportionate! He has grown 1.5 inches and gained 2 pounds in a month. Doctor says he looks great, and is a big healthy growing boy. Sadly, he did have to get some vaccines today, the foirst was oral and he liked it!! The next 3 were shots in his chubby thighs and he did NOT like those. He settled down really quick, his cries were more "why on earth would you do that to me??" he loves his pacifier and he got lots of love afterwards. He has long since forgotten all about it.
We got a big smile from Casey the other day, and saw 2 dimples! We usually just see the one on the right....so it seems he has 2 dimples like his Mom. Last night, Casey slept from 9 till 5! That was 8 hours....I will take it! He has been at 5-6 hours, but lets hope 8 is his new habit.
I was going to add some pictures, but I can't figure out which SD card they are on, so next time!!

2 months!
Wow! Casey is already 2 months old...I can't believe how fast time has gone! More and more of his personality shows every day. We get more smiles and baby noises. Casey's sleep schedule changes weekly, this week seems to be an up till midnight week. He will sleep a 5 hour chunk at a time.
The dogs all love Casey! I caught Tobie with his head in the carseat, which was sitting on the ground. He was licking Casey's face, yuck! I ran over and pulled him away....Casey's face was all scrunched up and I thought he was going to bawl....but after a second he broke out in a grin and giggled...he liked it! Josh and McKenzie come in the house and immediately check on him, they like to check him out and are very gentle.
Ryan and I made the tough decision to sell the horses. With Casey, they just don't get ridden. They are going to a great home, and are going together! That was important to us, since they are very attached to each other. We are in the process of looking for a house closer into town, still with a big yard, but not the acreage the horses need.
We have been working the dogs in obedience, the dogs just crave it, they are such smart dogs, they continuously amaze me. McKenzie is so precise and sharp, and Josh is so steady. We can't wait to get to some shows this year, we have goals for titles this year. We want to finish their rally excellent titles and CD's, and get back to agility this spring.
I have 4 more weeks of maternity leave, it will be so weird to go back to work. I have been busy scrapbooking, and finished all the pages of my honeymoon album, now just have to finish the journaling. I am ready to move on to Casey pictures! I just had almost 500 pictures from last year printed....I gotta get busy!
I am so excited to fly to Seattle next week! My parents are flying me and Casey over on Wednesday and Ryan will join us for the weekend. Its going to be a great weekend:)
Well, I am headed to bed....sleep is so precious these days!

Shopping
I am especially proud of one of my latest shopping trips, so I thought I would share.
I went to Rite-Aid, a store I would never shop in, until I started playing around with coupons. Now I shop there all the time, since I don't pay much! Here is my latest, with the regular purchase price next to it. I don't buy things for full price....
I bought:
1 Huggies Pure and Natural diapers 11.99
1 Contac cold/flu tablets 6.99
1 Scrubbing bubbles Automatic cleaner kit 17.99
2 Scrubbing bubbles refills 4.79
2 boxes of tampons 3.99
1 2 pack of olay age defying bar soap 3.49
1 3 pack of zest soap 3.19
Before sales this would be roughly 52.00
Everything I bought was on sale, bringing the total down to roughly 46.00
Then I used almost 27.00 worth of coupons, and received 9 back in rebates, so my total was actually about $11. I always wanted to try the scrubbing bubbles shower cleaner, but not for the regular price!
Last week when I shopped at rite aid, I made $6 and got lots of stuff, including 2 of the new Olay regenerist facial cleanser and pore scrub...can't wait to try it out....for free, and a profit:)

This and that
I guess its time for an update! I still don't get 2 hands very often...I am typing one handed right now...which takes a long time!
Casey is doing great, still has a little stuffiness, but so do Ryan and I. This has been the longest lingering cold ever!! Casey gave me his first real smile Jan 2! I have seen lots of smiles in his sleep, but now am getting smiles while he is awake and looking at me! It's official...he has a big dimple in his right cheek!! Casey is also grabbing at the rings in his activity center and he is all over the place in there, he kicks his legs and turns himself sideways. He is also a fan of his swing again, it's been nice to be able to set him down to do some things, when he was really sick he didn't want to be put down for a minute! He is a great shopper, he likes his car seat and the car, and I am becoming a master at positioning the carseat in all the shopping carts. It's nice to get out of the house, because hanging out at home all the time is hard for me. Sometimes, when Ryan is at work, I take Casey to the store and just wander up and down the aisles...just to get out and get moving. Its way too cold to walk outside. At 5.5 weeks, Casey weighed 11.2 pounds and was 23 inches long. He is on the 97% for weight! He is a big guy!!
I had my 6 week postpartum check up, and was cleared to exercise! So I immediately went back to my pre/postnatal water aerobics class....where I was deemed a rockstar for having returned so quick after my appointment. The best part was finally getting to use the hot tub again! No hot-tubbing while preggo- can't hardboil babies. I love the water and this class. Motherhood and pregnancy are like a club you join, pregnancy is like your initiation to the club. I love chatting with all the ladies. Lots of us that have had our babies get together with the babies, which is lots of fun, and we go to the baby showers of the other girls. I have a feeling we will be attending a lot of 1st birthday parties next year!!
Casey is also now taking a bottle of breastmilk from Ryan, which means he can do some night feeding, so I can sleep longer!! He is a pro, sucked down the first one he got! (Sorry Kelly). Since I have to return to work the middle of Feb, this is very important for daycare.
We finally bought Casey's crib mattress...the first time he slept in his crib he slept 10-6:30!! Ryan had checked on him at 2, and I then checked at 5:30 to make sure he was breathing! He has not slept through again though. His routine is bed at 10, up at 3, then up somewhere between 6-8, then he takes a long morning nap. Well that has been this past weeks schedule. He is really good at getting himself to sleep, I put him in bed awake and he usually grunts a lot and falls asleep. Sometimes I have to go in and give him a pacifier to help.
I am really excited to go see my family the end of this month!! My parents are flying Casey and I over....yep, I am flying with an infant! Then Ryan will join us for his long weekend. The cousins will be reunited!!
Well, thats all I have for now...
