Shaun's first 5K!

Over the weekend Mike and I decided to take Shaun on his first Jingle Bell Run 5K. What a great way to get in the Christmas spirit. Over 3000 runners and walkers all with jingle bells on their shoes! We are hoping to make it a Scaglione Christmas tradition. Although Shaun slept through most of it, we hope he had as much fun as we did :)

Good morning!

One of my favorite times to sneak up and watch Shaun is in the morning when he has just woken up. He has an elephant mobile in his crib that he talks to and smiles at every single morning. It is just too cute! This morning I was lucky enough to catch a few moments on video so I thought I would share. He does have a little choking episode in the video which is not unusual for him. Didn't want anyone to think I was overlooking it :)

New videos of Shaun!

Wanted to post some new videos of Shaun for everyone. We think he may have discovered his hands today as you'll see in the second video. I could just eat him up!!! Enjoy!

Tummy time!

So we've been working on tummy time with Shaun a lot since Grandma's been here. Some days he likes it. And then there's other days where he's just not interested. As you can see below...today was one of those days :)

10 weeks today!

I can't believe how much Shaun is changing. He is becoming so vocal and so interactive. I feel like he is going to laugh any day now. We are having so much fun with him.
His two month appt was last week. He got two shots and think I may have cried more than he did. I had to look away. Seeing my little angel in so much pain just broke my heart. His weight was 10 lb 6 oz. and he is 23 inches long. Doctor said he is in the 25th percentile for weight and the 50th percentile for height. Sounded a little small to us but the pediatrician is happy with the way he is growing so we were pleased! I am including his two month picture below. If you compare it to his one month picture you will see he has grown so much!
Went back to work last week. My mom flew into town and is watching Shaun for us during the day for the next two weeks. I am working three days a week for now and will go back full time in January. The transition hasn't been too bad since I am leaving him at home with his Grandma. I am dreading January. Dropping him off at daycare is going to just kill me.
It has been so much fun to watch my mom with him. Mike and I think he may be giving her more smiles than he gives us! She is so good with him and I am so happy that they are getting to spend time together. We are so thankful to have her here!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! We spent the holiday down in Tampa with Mike's family. A busy but wonderful couple of days. Mike and I are slowly starting to realize just how difficult it is to travel with a baby. Thinking next year we may just stay put and have everyone come to us!
Shaun hit the two month mark on Friday. It is going so fast!!! Everyone keeps saying how big he is getting and how much he has changed in the past month. We go to the doctor in two days so I will be back then to report his stats :)
I wanted to share some photos with you that my friend Juliet took for us over the weekend as our baby gift. They turned out beautiful and I am so happy she was able to capture Shaun at his two month mark. Enjoy!

Shaun meets Santa!

I just had to share this picture with everyone. We took Shaun to meet Santa for the first time yesterday. I took this with my cell phone but we ended up buying a few as well. We just couldn't resist his sweet face. Not a single tear was shed! He must love Christmas just like his dad. Thanks goes out to Grandma (my mom) for the adorable hat!!!

As for other news...Shaun is finally starting to settle into a routine. Which has been wonderful for Mike and I...helps us plan our days a little better. He is sleeping 8-9 hours consistently every night. I am in heaven! Let's hope this keeps up. It's hard to believe Shaun will be two months old this week. He is changing and growing so quickly. I can't keep up! His little smiles melt my heart and I am loving watching him develop his little personality.
I go back to work next week and just the thought of it makes me cringe. I don't want to leave him!!!! My mom gets in on Tuesday and will be staying with us for two weeks. We don't start daycare until January and for that I am thankful. I am just not ready. Somebody better be waiting for me with a box of tissues the first day I have to drop him off. Mike and I have actually talked that it might be a better idea if he drops him off instead of me. I think that may have to be the plan or else I might just end up chickening out.
We are looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with Mike's family this week. Can't wait for everyone to see how much Shaun has changed in the past month. Wishing all of you a very happy holiday!!!
