sir smiles-a-lot

vaughn has been smiling a lot lately, and even been letting me capture it on camera:

2 month update

last week vaughn turned two months old. we took him to the doctor and he got some immunizations (which he hated), but at least he's protected from whooping cough. he's up to 12 lbs, 4 oz and is 22 inches long. he rolls over from tummy to back when he's propped up on his arms, and is smiling a lot more.

i went back to work last week, and i'm getting back into the hang of it. i hate leaving vaughn everyday, i feel like i'm abandoning him. i know that josh takes good care of him while i'm gone, but it still makes me sad.

racing snails

silas turned three yesterday, and bridget gave him, emmet, and vaughn little wooden snails to race. since the babies couldn't really use them, josh and silas made sure that they all worked properly:

silas put in a full day yesterday. he helped bridget weed around the house and pruned some trees with me. he even helped mom and dad rake and bale hay.

smiling baby

last week mom got vaughn to smile (a real smile) for the first time! although this morning he was smiling the same way without any encouragement, so i'm not sure if it wasn't just a coincidence.
