you are 2 months old today. as i know every mom has said, how on earth can you be 2 months old? and...how on earth have you only been in my life for 2 months? it seems you have always been. you, michael david, are life to my soul.
at two months old, you smile and coo with the best of them. you can make anyone's day better by smiling at them. in fact, just a couple of weeks ago, you brought your aunt sarah to tears by talking to her and smiling into her eyes. your eyes are so bright and deep. it's been said by more than one person that it seems you are "seeing into the depths of their soul". you can definitely see into the depths of mine. you make me infinitely happy.
you are so much better at life these days and really seem to enjoy yourself. you love playing with daddy by laughing at his antics and going on walks in the stroller. you squeal at your rattle, grin at your frog toy from mamie and alex, and flirt with ceiling fans.
you love to sleep in your swing during your morning nap. you still require a swaddle and it doesn't matter if it's 100 degrees outside...blanket tight around you is what you want. of course, being outside is just about the best thing in your world. you would live out there if i let you.
bath time is now a regular staple in our house. it doesn't matter how tired you are, your blue bathtub, warm water and rubber ducky can bring on your smiles. it's fun to see how much you've changed from your first aversion to water. of course, back then you were lying on the counter getting sponge baths. you were probably freezing!
you slept through the night for the first time 2 nights ago. i put you to bed at 10:45pm and you didn't wake up once until 6:15am. however, for a few nights before then and each night since then as well, you've gotten up once for your pacifier before waking to eat. it seems that 7-7.5 hrs is what you like to sleep for the night. you sleep in your own room upstairs, and have for about a month now. you like it cold and dark with a tight swaddle and your fan and cd player on. you then eat breakfast and head back to sleep for another 1.5-2 hrs. it's heaven, just so you know. your mama loves to sleep!
daddy and i took you for your 2 month appointment. you smiled and talked to dr. bacuta and showed her how you can lift your head while on your tummy. although, you do hate tummy time and have no problem telling us that! here are your stats from your appointment:

daddy and i took you for your 2 month appointment. you smiled and talked to dr. bacuta and showed her how you can lift your head while on your tummy. although, you do hate tummy time and have no problem telling us that! here are your stats from your appointment:
weight: 11 lbs 11 oz - 50th %
height: 23 3/4 inches - 90th %
head measurement: 40 cm - 75th %
you also got 4 immunizations today. 1 by mouth and 3 shots. you cried hard. you cried like we'd just broken your heart. daddy put you in my arms as soon as they were done, but he didn't like it and took you right back, swaddling you and walking you outside. by the time i joined you boys by the car, you were almost asleep on daddy's shoulder. i'm sorry we had to do that but they all help keep you healthy. besides, we're gonna have to do it again in another 2 months.
here some pictures to commemorate your 2 month birthday:
bath time fun! look at that beautiful skin!
we have the same routine when you get out of the bathtub: dry & cuddle, lotion, diaper, q-tip the ears (which you love and get very still for), pj's, nestles & brushing for your hair. plus-singing a few songs about Jesus.
then, you love to cuddle with daddy before getting sleepy.
you are so big in your car seat and sleep in there nicely.
until, of course, mama wakes you up with her camera. sorry about that...
you have discovered your hands and mouth. you do a lot of spitting and slobbering these days. but that is nothing compared to this...
your new talent of blowing bubbles! how perfect!michael david, i love you desperately.
