Jace at 2 months

Our Jace is 2 months! He is such a happy baby . . . but when he’s hungry or wants to be held, you will know it. He is already wearing 3mo clothes, loves the rattle, finger puppets and his new swing. He’s using his little voice a lot, and just wants to be held and snuggled. He enjoys lunch dates with the ladies and time with family. Sure doesn’t mind being passed around. He farts like crazy — when he sneezes it’s pretty much guarenteed he’ll fart too, ha. His legs are always kicking, and his eye contact is better than ever. I love that he recognizes us now and when he does he gets this cute little smile/smirk on his face. It’s the cutest darn thing. Our daily routine is getting a tad easier. He gets fussy around the same time every day {usually when Daddy gets home, sorry Rob!}. . . but he’s sleeping in 3-4 hours stretches at night. Crazy to think how much I enjoy and feel replenished after just 3 hours sleep. Not sure what I’d do with 8 hours of sleep now.  And I’m just going to say it. I’m so flippin’ happy. This little boy, his little body and noises and eyes and toosh. . they melt me. I can’t stop kissing him.

Fitz & the Tantrums

Went and saw Fitz & the Tantrums in Oakland last night with Heather and am still on a high from the show. It was AMAZING. They sure know how to put on a show. I have a total girl crush on Noelle Scaggs now. She has some mad tambourine skills and dance moves. And Michael Fitzpatrick. Wow. Those vocals! And I just learned that his white strip of hair is actually from his birthmark. How cool is that?! It was such a fun night with friends. Heather and I totally bought T-shirts like crazed fans. Felt like we were teenagers again. We danced our butts off . . . great night!

 {Heather & Leslie — love these two!}
Have you been to any great concerts lately? Please share!

Proud Daddy

I can’t help how proud Rob looks in these pictures with his family. It melts my heart how much he loves Jace. Oh, how I love this man {sigh}. We had such a great time with his family. Thanks again Randy & Susan for everything! We love you! xoxoxo

Center of attention

Grandpa and Grandma Johannes came to visit and Jace was absolutely spoiled with love! Just look at that face. He had no problem being the center of attention. Which reminds me of someone else I know . . .  ;) We had such a nice visit. I always know when my father-in-law is in town because there are fresh donuts in my kitchen every day. And oreos. Thanks Randy & Susan for the great dinners, being so good to our dogs and for letting us have a date night. So lucky to have them in our lives – they’re so loving and kind.

Back at it

I’ve been cleared by the Doc to work out again so I’m back at it and it feels so good. Legs are already sore but I love it, and have missed the feeling. All those whoppers and root beer floats are hanging out around my mid-section right now. A little too soft for my comfort. Am also trying a new spin class at Bike Dojo in Santa Cruz — so excited!
