Jetty had his 2 month baby visit and as we suspected, he is a big boy :) He was 13 lbs 2oz which puts him in the 85 percentile for weight. Not a roll on the boy though, he is just dense! At this visit, we learned he had an ear infection but that wouldn't stop them from stabbing him 3 times with needles to vaccinate against worse things.

"Bulldog"

The funny thing is that his ears didn't really seem to bother him. Anyway, he is now on amoxacillin to obliterate the infection, but that gave him thrush. So, throughout the day, Jetty gets 2 doses of amoxacillin, 4 of nystatin, and special nystatin paste for his butt. Then, I have an ointment to use after nursing so we don't pass the thrush back and forth. There is a whole lot of medicating that I will be oh-so happy to be done with.

Sporting the OWL hat my friend Janelle knit for him.
We aren't into a solid routine just yet but most nights he sleeps between 7 and 9 hours. AMAZING.

Maddox is a good brother. He mostly ignores Jetty, but when he is paying attention it is all hugs and kisses and petting. Potty training is on hold, as Maddox is not interested in participating. He loves the treats for staying dry and going on the potty, but not enough to do it without prompting and 24/7 supervision. I love the way his britches get all folded and awkward when he pulls them up by himself.

He did this to himself. Funny and totally unsanitary!

Play doh is a favorite right now as is playing swords, coloring, trains, and watching movies. Kung Fu Panda, CARS, Bob the Builder and Astro Boy are common around here. We would LOVE new movies for Christmas... just an idea (by we, I mean Bing and I).

The snow is coming down in Billings and Maddox is finally big enough to enjoy it a little. We went out today and stomped on the perfectly flat snow. Maddox likes messing up the perfection and will go in a line down the sidewalk pressing his hands into the fluff.
