Who Is Two Months Old???

THIS GUY!!! :)
(I couldn't pick just one!)
Sweet two month old baby boy...what are you up to?
-You have only outgrown ONE newborn outfit (b/c you're kinda short and chunky) :) but you fit nicely into all of your 0-3 month clothes now!
-You smile like crazy now, mainly in the mornings and early afternoon. I can't believe you're actually a morning person with your daddy and I as parents...at least it's not too early morning!
-With that said, you are not a fan of nighttime...it's your fussiest time of the day, but that's okay.  We've started putting you to bed a little earlier and that seems to help.
-You have been really sweet to us with your sleeping habits at night...over the past week you've slept 10 hrs, 8 hrs, 10.5 hrs, 11 hrs, 9 hrs, 8.5 hrs - glorious!! :) If you keep this up we may try you out in your own room over the weekend!
-You've started sleeping less during the day as a result - you keep me very busy, but I love it! You just kind of doze in and out a few times, and usually take one or two longer naps.
-You went shopping with me for a few hours today and you didn't sleep OR fuss... you just looked around at everything! I usually have your paci on hand to pop in your mouth, but you didn't need it. It was fun for your mommy and you seemed to really enjoy being out and about.
-Yesterday you gave me the first consistent laughing/babble when you were in your little travel swing. I was telling you how both you and Harley needed a bath...I said "Shoooweee Harley" every time you came towards me and waved my hand in front of my face. You smiled and made loud sounds TEN TIMES IN A ROW when I did that! :)  It was awesome!! Unfortunately the minute I grabbed the camera  you just looked at me like I was crazy, haha. You're definitely making lots of new noises though, and I enjoy our little "conversations."
-You have a very healthy little appetite, and as you can tell by the pictures, no one is worried about you being too thin. :)  You're chunky and adorable. 
-You now like to grab handfuls of my hair whenever you can get it, especially when you're nursing or I'm carrying you on my shoulder.  Good thing I haven't been wearing my usual dangly earrings (since daddy bought me such a gorgeous "push present")!
-You are so strong and can hold your head up like a champ. You can sit in your bumbo seat with no problem and when we hold your hands to help you sit up you just look all around.
Gammy and MaMa came down tonight to go with us to your 2 month appointment tomorrow - where we'll get your official stats and you'll sadly get some shots! :(  I'll post tomorrow about how everything goes. We love you so very much and sometimes I could just burst with joy because of your sweet addition to our lives!
Ahh, I could eat you up with a spoon!!!

  1. Oh. My. Sweet. Goodness. That baby is so stinking cute! I LOVE his sweet belly and chubby fingers! I would have paid big bucks for someone to teach Will how to sleep that long starting at just a few weeks old! Sweet, sweet boy!
