All at once

Week 23

House news:
It seems like everything is coming together all at once!
Here's a summary of what happened this week:

• The majority of the painting was accomplished
• The glass for the shower doors was installed
• The vanities for the bathrooms were finished
• Sconces, dimmer switches and finishes around recessed lighting were installed
• Construction of the entertainment center for back room began
• Measurements for granite counters happened
• Installation of cable/phone/internet
• Furniture shopping: we bought a kitchen table and chairs, a rug for under the table, two reading chairs, a pendant lamp for over kitchen table and bathroom fixtures (towel bars and toilet paper holders)

At the end of this coming week our house is going to look like a house. The painting will be finished while closet organizers, granite and all of our appliances will be installed. After everything is put into the house the final step is finishing the floors and then we can FINALLY move in! Our target move-in date is the second weekend in February. I can't wait!

Nico: 9 weeks

Nico turned 2 months old this week! Nico is getting so big that I had to bring out the 3-6 month clothes. Some of the 0-3 month shirts can't fit over Nico's gigantic head :)

Here are his measurements taken at the pediatrician's:

Weight: 13 pounds 5 ounces (75-90 percentile)
Length: 24 inches (95 percentile)
Head: 41 centimeters (95 percentile)

In two months Nico has made known what his likes and dislikes are...
Dislikes: tummy time, getting his nose aspirated, bringing a shirt over his head, getting strapped into his carrier
Neutral: the bassinet, baths, being swaddled, bottles and the pacifier
Likes: his swing, the breast, mom and dad singing to him, being bounced up and down, looking in the mirror, being burped, the changing table, napping on mom and dad and lying on his side.

2 months old!

Nico's cheeks are in the 110 percentile

Nico recently discovered he can gnaw on his hands
