I soaked up the last week of maternity leave with a trip to the zoo…and Coco came too! Not surprisingly Andrew was most excited about seeing his buddy Austin and riding the train! The animals were less exciting for him though he LOVED feeding the goats! No fear! 
Riding the merry go round:
Meanwhile Teddy didn’t know what to make of all the strange sounds and sights: 
Teddy Bear is already 2 months old! It’s so fun that he’s starting to ‘wake up’ more and greet us with smiles, cooing and the beginnings of baby giggles. The best!
Teddy is still a great eater…though at his last doctor check-up it appears that Teddy may be more of a Kleinfelter than a Phillips. At his 2 month appointment he weighed 12 lbs 8 oz thus putting him in the 50th percentile in weight. He’s also 23 1/2 inches long thus putting him in the 60th percentile (gasp!). He’s nearly two inches shorter than Andrew was at this age. Couple that with the light hair and blue eyes and it appears he may look more like mommy than daddy and big brother. I’m totally fine with it but Andy is less than excited about a 60th percentile stat. 😉
Teddy solidly wears 3 month cloths and is emerging into 6 month size very quickly. Teddy continues to work on his neck strength during tummy time and is starting to squirm around when on his belly. Rolling here we come!
Teddy’s rejected the pacifier in the last month but has started to find his hands which makes me think he might be a thumb sucker like Andrew. He’s also graduated from the ‘Rock n’ Play’ cradle in mom and dad’s room to his very own crib in the nursery. Yay! So far it’s been going well. We’ve now got him on our bedtime schedule with Andrew. At 7ish they both go up for baths and then it’s bottle and bed for the little guy. Most nights I can get both boys bathed and in bed by 7:30 pm (point for mom!). And then the little guys typically sleeps until 2-2:30 am, eats and goes right back down until about 5-5:30am. After a quick early morning snack I can typically get him to go back down again until Andrew races into his room and yells ‘wake-up Teddy!’ at 6:30-7 am. Andrew hasn’t learn the art of not waking a sleeping baby- especially before mommy has her coffee!
Teddy loves to cuddle, appears to be ticklish, and melts your heart with his little smile!
He snores when he sleeps. I 100% completely blame this on grandpa Kleinfelter.
Why do I call him the baby chainsaw? Happy to share ‘the chainsaw’ story to any interested parties!
A brief look into life over the last two weeks: 
Our new wheels. Feels a bit like pushing a VW down the street but it works well with two kiddos and a mommy who wants exercise!
