He's Found His Thumb

Hi Guys

At the Office

Truman was hard at work at my office last week.

Happy Father's Day

Here's a little video of our little man. Happy Father's Day to Truman's two grandfathers, his great-grandfather and his father, Joe.

Lions and Tigers and Bears ...

Well, actually, the bears were off exhibit. But the lions, tigers and other big cats were out in full force at the Como Zoo today in St. Paul. The trip reminded us how much Truman likes to be out and about. He was content just looking around and being part of the excitement of the great big world.

I think Truman was making the same face as that lion when we arrived:







We saw a tiger:




and a snow leopard:




and a mountain lion/cougar/puma:




We saw a giraffe trying to measure up:




and one happy baby Truman:













We also got to see a butterfly exhibit. Here we are waiting to get inside:




Here's a butterfly that landed on Truman's tush:




And here are some more lovely butterflies:







Sunlight made this one almost transparent. In the first photo you can see the designs from both sides of its wings. The second shows the bright blue of its inner wings.







Truman's day at the zoo ended in much the same way it began:

Two Months Old

Sometimes it's hard to believe he's two months old. It sinks in more every time I see a baby who is younger than him. Although it would be nice if he would take the occasional nap by himself, I'm very much enjoying motherhood and all the wonderful snuggle time I'm getting with Truman.

Truman's done a lot of growing in two months. He's holding his head up very well now and is a star at tummy time. He's even managed to roll over from his tummy to his back three times. He's also able to get from his back to his side and struggles to try to roll that way. He smiles often now and smiles when he sees me or Joe. It's been really great to watch him truly become aware of us. He's very interested in the world and enjoys being out and about more than he does being at home. Most of all, he's really chubbed up.

Here he is leaving the hospital at two days:



And at two months:
