TWO months!! How in the world are you two months!! In a way it feels like how has it only been two months as it feels like you've been part of our lives forever, but then the other part is like how in the world are you already two months?! I don't want you to keep growing!! It's so so soooo bittersweet. There's all these milestones that are so exciting but I just want to bask in this age for at least 2-3 years before you grow another day older. At 4 weeks old you started sleeping 8 hours through the night and now at 2 months you sleep sometimes 10-11 hour nights when you're real tired. By 4 weeks you started smiling and now are smiling so much every day, at Mommy and Daddy the most. Cooing is the sweetest and cutest little thing you started doing that week too and we can't get enough of talking with you. You got thrush at 6 weeks old that we cured with Gentian Violet which made you have the cutest purple mouth. You only cry if I don't start nursing you fast enough and then protest for a good half hour for my tardiness in feeding you before you'll start eating. Sometimes you'll cry fighting sleep but they're just cute little whimpers before you doze off. We sometimes (very rarely) can't soothe you enough at night to get you to sleep in your bassinet so then we just cuddle you all night. We figured out you need to be in a dang good deep sleep for about an hour before we can transfer you to your bassinet. You started clinging onto us when we hold you and it's our favorite thing. You melt into our arms. You also found my hair this month and loooove hanging onto it. Your cul de sac hair growth has started to come in and so now we're excited you won't be bald the rest of your life. Male patterned baldness would look cute on you though-you could pull off anything. You really could do no harm to us whatsoever-we laugh when you have a blowout and think it's cute when you spit up or sneeze on us. You are a dang good baby and we just pray your siblings will be like you. You knew we needed to have you somewhat easy so we'd keep having kids. I've also become obsessed with dressing you up this month and believe every outfit should be a dress or romper. Seriously regretting buying onesies at all. You're fitting 0-3 month clothes (3-6 in some brands) and are in size 2 diapers (since 6 weeks old). Everyone who asks is your age is surprised when we tell them because you are soooo long. You received your 2 month shots today and it was the most heartbreaking thing to watch you have such a hurt cry that lasted 20 seconds. They weighed you in at 13lbs and 6oz, and 24.5 inches long though. You are the best and loveliest little chunk in the 97th percentile for height and weight. I worry dating will be a struggle for you so I hope you aren't too tall although Daddy is excited for a great athletic ability with your height. Hello volleyball and basketball player (if you want. I would love if you danced:)) Life with you is complete and utter bliss. You make our lives so much sweeter and tender. You've softened our hearts and changed our futures in all the best ways.
