Man, life is busy with three kids four and under, but I'm loving it so far!
Before you came along my days were more relaxed, but I love the energetic chaos of three; it suits my dysfunctional need to be super busy all the time.
We've had a really great month; celebrating your first
Halloween, and spending a bunch of time in
Leavenworth- we're back up there this week for Thanksgiving and I can hardly wait.
Every day you're transitioning more from infancy to babyhood, and while I love the early days, I do think I prefer the early months- those first big smiles and coos, rolling over, and finding a rhythm to the day.
I feel like I've gotten to know you so well this past month, and what a sweetheart you are.
Here's what's new:
- Last week you started going to bed around 7-8pm and waking for the day around 7-8am
- Between that time, you wake to nurse around 3-4am, then again at 6-7am. You're a great sleeper!
- You rolled over last week while up on your elbows and did it again for Dr. Stanos at your 2 month appointment
- Baby Stats: 23.74" (81%), and 10lbs, 10oz (11%) a tall, skinny guy :)
- I've packed away all your newborn clothes and we've moved on to 0-3, quickly becoming 3-6!
- You LOVE smiling and cooing at us after a big feeding
- You hate if I talk while nursing (just like Abigail!)
- Swaddling and a paci are a must at bedtime
- You nap about every 90 minutes for around 30 minutes to an hour
- You sleep in a rock and play. I was pretty sure this qualified me as the worst parent of all time, but Dr. Stanos was totally fine with it. (yay!)
- I call your paci a nunni bubba. I have NO idea where that came from, but it stuck
- You still love being carried around in the Ergo, but my back hasn't been in agreement for a few weeks now :(
You really are such a sweet and easy baby. Now that I'm starting to find a rhythm, I have more time to spend with you; laying together on the floor, talking in baby coos, and gazing into your beautiful, big blue eyes.
You are such a beautiful addition to our little family and I love you so much.
Happy 2 months, little guy.
