"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

Clark is 2 months old!

...and he has been for a week now, but I've been a slow blogger lately! :)
We had our 2 month checkup, and the little man had to get 5 vaccines! :( Poor thing. I felt so bad for him. But--he sailed through like a champ!
stats: (because Mommy has to record them somewhere seeing as the baby book is collecting dust...)
ding ding ding! and in this corner, weighing in at 16 lbs 6 oz! Clark William Svoboda! (ahem, our Dr. said there is no "percentile" chart for our little man. He is what they call, "off the charts". I promise I'm not sneaking him steak and potatoes at night!) :)
*24 inches long (I think he said 75th percentile?)
*head size 41 cm (not sure on this one)
A.A.C: (All About Clark)
-loooooooooooves his bath (he gets very mad when we take him out!)
-smiles so much now! I'm loving it!
-is starting to coo (when sister lets him get a word in edgewise)
-has started sucking his thumb (you can't fight it people...and it comes in handy at 3 a.m.)
-is a champion napper
-is sleeping 8 hrs at night (we'll take it!)
-would let mommy cuddle with him ALL day if I wanted (I can't get enough of this!)
-wearing size 3 diapers
-wearing 9 months clothes
Here are some snapshots from the month: (sadly, I do not take NEARLY as many pictures as I did of AnnMarie at this age)
-on a Target shopping trip with Mommy

I love his big grin!
My handsome little man

He gets lots of squeezes from big sister

Lounging is his favorite activity
And, I'll leave you with this because it's really hard for me to capture his smile/laugh with my camera===so here's a video! :)
Oh, my precious little angel! I love you more than words can say!

No. Katy. Seriously? Off the charts? Wow. Were you speechless? :) I guess you can give the clothes I gave to someone else. I give you permission. There is NO WAY they will fit him next summer.

I AM LOVING THE STATS!!!! Don't you just love love love that you feed that boy and he is just THRIVING!!! That is some milk you have (very similar to the milk I produced with LP!)and you should be so proud to have such a PRECIOUS CHUNKAROO on your hands. I could just eat him up!

off the charts! i mean, what are you feeding that boy? seriously, chunky babies are the best and they do lean out at some point (look at the J man). so enjoy all those rolls. so great to see you this past weekend!
