March... already?

Ummm, yikes. I can't believe it's been so long since we've gotten on here. I mean, I know everyone said when you have kids your time flies... but dang, we're scooting right along.

What an amazing two months it's been since we've welcomed Sutton into the world. He's an amazing little baby that has so much interest into everything that's going on around him. He's extremely alert and sometimes that's to his downfall because he wants to be awake so much and see everything going on and take it all in, that he forgets that he's a baby sometimes and needs his sleep. So he tends to get cranky every now and again, but for the most part is usually content with being happy and adorable.

Since we've posted last he's had quite a few new experiences. He got to go down to the farm to be with granndpa and grandma Schweitzer for a little bit. It was a quick trip so dad could change the oil in the car and work on a few other things. I will say Sutton was a huge help with everything I worked on in the shop... o wait, no he was too busy keeping mom and grandma entertained in the house while I froze outside.

Our little boy also had to go in for a little bit of surgery here this last month as well. Katie had been noticing that he never really stuck his tongue out, seems weird right since you wouldn't think you'd want your kid to stick his tongue out at you. But, she took him to the pediatrician and he was diagnosed with tongue tie. He told us it wasn't anything really to be worried about but that if we took care of it now it would heal quickly and would help him in the future with speech and help him with breast-feeding. So the appointment was made and we took him in. Holy cow, I know it wasn't a big deal and I would never tell my wife this... but it almost made me cry when we had to leave that little boy with the nurses and the surgeon. I mean it only took like 2 minutes for them to do it, but it seemed like an eternity sitting out in the waiting room for them to finish. I am proud to to say though that our son now moves his tongue around like a champ and can now slobber.... a lot. But we can tell a huge difference and he really seems to enjoy being able to move his tongue around his mouth.

I know these pictures aren't the best quality. But this kid does things so quickly that if you don't just take a quick snapshot with your phone... you'll probably miss it. So, we may just have some grainy images... but it doesn't matter because it's the memories people. I mean don't get me wrong... I love a good picture that's nice and crisp. But I also believe in catching the moment and that's what these say to me. Maybe we'll get better at keeping our digital cameras closer to us when we're walking around. This is our first go around though so we're still figuring it all out.

All of us are excited for some warmer weather and getting out of the house now again for some outdoor activites. Warmer weather brings new seasons and new experiences for the little one that I'm sure he'll meet with his already apparent thrill for life. We'll try and get better at keeping this thing updated too. I know, I know... I said that a month or so ago, but look at this face. It pretty much just takes up all our free time and it gets away from you.
