Tummies and towers

Tummy time for Mattias: he is two months old now and getting pretty strong. He does well to push up on his arms while on the floor, and he has even rolled over a few times! The first time he did so, he got scared and started to cry, but then we rolled him back over and he did it again...and again...and then he started to look quite pleased. He loves laying on his back and kicking and punching and stretching. And he has finally taken to the bouncy seat and will happily sit in it, concentrating hard while looking at the toys and trying to get his fists to hit them.

Meanwhile, Tower time for Timo! He received some Legos for Christmas (the first installment, as we have more waiting in the wings to dole out as special occasions come, thanks to hand-me-downs from 3rd cousins) and now spends many happy moments every day building towers and parking garages for his cars.

Yep, this is the scene at our house most days

Well, hello there, are you on your tummy again?

And is that some drool I see? 

Maybe it's just a mother's viewpoint, but I think Mattias is quite expressive with his eyebrows and mouth. Perhaps a bit of Hawkins genes coming through (although, then, Grandma Hawkins would say, "No, that's the Woodward side!")

He had his 2 month check-up today (at 10 weeks old) and the stats prove what we were suspecting: he is TALL and big! He measured 24.5 inches and 13 pounds 13 ounces, which puts him at approx 90% for height and 70% for weight!
