Two Months

It seems that we blinked, and JB is now 2 months old! He is doing great and continues to be a very happy and mild-mannered baby. We just had his two month doctor's visit, and he is now 10lbs 4 oz and 24 inches long! He is long and lean -- in the 25th percentile for his weight and 90th for his height! He was very brave for his immunizations and only cried for an instant! I have a fun video here of JB having a conversation (maybe more than a conversation at times) with his dad -- he definitely makes us laugh!

We had a wonderful weekend for JB's baptism on August 16th. Holly and Theo drove out from Denver, and Marcy and Jon visited from Dallas. "Uncle Mac" also joined us for all of the festivities during the weekend. The baptism mass was very nice, and JB did great during his time in the spotlight. He got to wear the beautiful baptismal gown made by his Brewer relatives in the 1860's! I am working on editing the video coverage, so stay tuned for that! Here are some photos in the meantime. Thanks to Marcy and Uncle Mac for already being wonderful Godparents to JB!

This past weekend we took JB out on the golf course for 9 holes, and luckily the golf pro didn't see us until we were leaving to inform us that this was not allowed! Oh well, we all survived and had a great morning. We have also taken JB to the pool in preparation for our trip to Florida -- he is very excited. Videos and pictures of that to come, too!

Updates from Park City!

We have many more pictures and videos to share! JB is now 7 weeks old, and it is just amazing how much he has grown and changed. We are loving every moment!

We took JB hiking on the Mid-Mountain Trail on Aug 2nd. Joe thought it would be about a 3 hour journey, but it ended up being 4hrs 45min and about 12 miles!! Needless to say, I was exhausted, but it felt good, and JB did great. It was a beautiful day, as most are around here! We even saw a bike with Marin's name on it, so we had to take a photo of that!

I've also included some videos of JB playing on his play mat and some other recent photos. Hopefully they won't be too repetitive for you all, but I'm his mom, so I can't get enough :) His legs are getting so strong, he tries to roll over, and his smiles are adorable. You can even tell how he has grown from the progression of the videos.

On August 8th, Joe ran in the Jupiter Peak Steeplechase. It is a trail run from the base of Park City Mountain Resort to the top of Jupiter Peak and back down (8 miles up, 8 miles down, 3000 feet elevation)! He did a great job, and finished in 2 hours, 41 minutes. I am continually amazed at his fitness level and commitment to stay healthy. It was wonderful to see him cross the finish line, as this has been a big goal for Joe over the past year. It is amazing to think about how far he has come and how our lives have changed in the past 6 months! JB and I are very proud of him! You can check out the article about the race in our local paper.

We are looking forward to more visitors and JB's baptism this coming weekend!
