I am not sure why the videos are not working. If anyone is familiar with this problem and knows a solution, let me know. I've tried re-uploading and also googling the problem but no luck.

Smiles and "a-goos"

First glimpse at Spring

 We decided to make silly monsters and aliens out of our Easter eggs. Normally, Nate doesn't like to eat eggs but he ate 3 egg whites after making these. He calls the yolk a "stinky ball" and won't eat that part.

 Beautiful flowers on Pearl Street in Boulder

 Our friends, Frank and Julia, were in town for a few days. We decided to do a little hike with them since the weather was so nice (as I am writing this, it is snowing outside now!)

sunset + wine + dinner on the grill + warm weather = perfect night!

"Zoo"per Fun!

 Nate was on Spring Break last week so we I took the boys down to the Denver Zoo. Not as amazing as the San Diego Zoo but since it was smaller, we were able to see almost all of the animals in a couple of hours.

 The polar bear exhibit was our favorite. The bear was very active when we were there.

Alexander's two months

Alexander had his two month checkup yesterday. He is 11lbs 14.5 oz and is 22 3/4" long. He is still at the 50th percentile for height, weight, and head. I think Nate was 14lbs and 25" when he was this age and exceeded 95th percentile.
Alexander is doing very well. I would describe his personality so far as pretty mellow and predictable. He is becoming more social with a variety of sounds and smiles. He is learning to turn a bit to the side. 2 or 3 feet is about the distance he can see clearly.
We are still not getting much sleep at night though. He usually has a long 4 hour stretch of sleep around 8pm but then is up every couple of hours after that in the night. We long for a good night's rest and hope he will start to sleep longer very soon.
Nathan is still not a big fan of the baby. Every once in a while he will try to entertain him but usually he is pretty jealous of the time the baby takes away from his time with us. We try to involve him in making it fun to help but it is taking some time to adjust. Nate has gone through a lot of change in the past few months!
