Hand-Mouth Coordination

Louis has discovered he has limited control of his hands. He's decided to use this new power to put his hands in his mouth. It appears that he prefers his thumb or the side of his index finger, but really any part of the hand will do. When he struggles to bring his hand to his mouth he attempts to move his whole body to locate his hand.

2 Months Old

Just days before Louis turned two months old, Grandma Lorraine came through town to spend a few more days visiting Louis and his parents. She is pictured in front of the Christmas tree. It's a baby tree this year -- Lorraine is sitting on the ground so that the tree will fit in the shot.

Spa Time

Louis really does love bath time. He doesn't get excited and squeal (yet). Instead, he is very calm and still and presumably focused on the pleasant sensation of sitting in warm water. The first and last two pictures are the best depiction of this. He keeps his arms to his side, legs still, and looks around. Because he is so in awe of bath time (or "spa time" as we prefer to call it), it's become a favorite time for his parents and is quickly becoming part of his nighttime ritual.
