two months

two months

i think i could start each post that way...  ah!  _______ months already!  but for realz.  it goes fast.  i mean most of it goes fast.  the middle of the night feedings and lack of sleep kind of drag on.  but the rest of it... goes fast!

at two months you are starting to show bits of your personality.  so far you've been super serious and honestly, a little cranky.  we are figuring each other out though.  you've been smiling some (even though we have to work pretty hard to get a little grin) and even cooing a bit.  you especially love smiling at jace.  i can try and try to get a reaction and the second he gets in your face, you light up.  it's sweet... if you like the abrasive-in your face-loud and crazy... type of attention.  i guess it's a good thing, you're going to have to get used to it with these two brothers of yours.

you are starting to sleep better at night.  you usually go to bed with the other boys and then wake up around 2 and again at 5.  you're up for the day by 8 (but so are the rest of us so that's ok!).  you sleep in your crib or in the swing most of the time.  i think you prefer to sleep on me... which i love... i just can't get much done while holding you!  i think you might end up being "worn" a lot.  we will see.  you are a cuddle bug just like your brothers... i think you all get it from your daddy!  his bubble is a little smaller than mine.

you are growing like a weed and only weigh one pound less than jace did when he was FOUR months old.  at your two month appointment you weighed in at 14 pounds and 5 ounces.  you are 23 inches long and in the 85% for both height and weight.  you are a big boy...  on your way to being a linebacker.  this works out nicely since clearly we are working on our own football team!  you're wearing 3-6 month clothes and they aren't any too big on you.  

you have bright blue eyes that smile way before we actually see a grin.  

you are a perfect fit for our family and we love you too pieces!
