Two Months

Dear Monkey,

You are two months old today!

You are changing so quickly that I can't believe it. I really enjoy just holding you, talking to you, and cuddling you. Before I know it, you'll be chasing after your big brothers. So I'm trying to savor these moments while I can (which means that the house isn't all that clean).

You are wearing some 3-6 month clothes now. You're a bit too long for the 0-3 month ones, though a few things still fit. You're also wearing size two diapers. I'm not sure how long you are and how much you weigh. But we'll find out on Wednesday at your appointment.

You can't decide if you like the pacifier or not. Sometimes, it's the only thing that will calm you down. Other times, it only makes you more mad and you spit it out with disgust.

You have found your hands. You clasp them together often. You also grasp very hard onto things that make their way into your sweet fingers (including my hair!). You also try very hard to put your thumb in your mouth (I push it away every time I catch you!).

You're cooing and talking and gurlging now. It's so precious. Your smile is very sweet and quite contagious. Your big brothers love to try to get you to talk. It's quite entertaining to watch. They make all sorts of funny noises and faces, which you love!

You consistently sleep 6 hours at night. Your daytime schedule is falling into place as well. You typically hang out in the sling, your high chair, or the swing. I'm enjoying your adaptability/portability while it lasts. I know that you will require your crib for naps sooner than I'd like!

You are still a very sweet baby. You continue to be easy-going and undemanding. We love you so much!

Love,

Mommy
