2 months

Tiny monster, I can not believe you are already two months old.  You are getting more fun every day.  Just this week you started smiling at us.  It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.  For about a week or  two, you didn't really know how to make your mouth smile. You would just open it really wide, similar to an intense yawn, and the edges would barely curl up when you got excited but now you have mastered the perfect gummy grin.  We haven't been able to catch a picture of it yet, because you get distracted and super intense whenever you see the camera.

We took you to get your two month check up and you were much better than at your first visit.  When you were just three days old you showed mom and dad who was in charge at the doctor's office.  You decided you were starving in the waiting room and you wanted the whole office (and all of the other offices in the entire building and potentially across the street) to know about it.  So I had my first nursing in public under the cover experience.   I was still really new to motherhood and forgot your burp cloth, which provided the perfect opportunity for you to spit up all over yourself, me, the chair, and the floor just as your name was being called for us to see your doctor.  One mess was just not enough for you though, so you decided to poop everywhere once we got back to our little room.  Then as I am trying to have a conversation with your doctor and dad is trying to clean up your dirty diaper and change your outfit (yes, it was that bad), you decided to pee..............everywhere.  So, now your second outfit is also wet along with the table, daddy and probably the doctor.  We put it on anyway and decided we had lots and lots to learn about parenting.

You, little mister, have become quite the mover and shaker.  You LOVE to kick.  When you get upset, you typically settle down if we put you on your back on our bed and let you just kick and kick.   Gammy noticed that when you look to the right, you exclusively kick your right leg and when you look to the left, you only kick your left leg. It is just one of your wonderfully unique quirks.

You still haven't mastered the sleeping through the night skill yet.  I try not to be jealous of all of my friends that post on facebook about their six week old sleeping 9 hours at night.  You generally sleep three hours at a time, four on good nights and only two on the tough ones.  9 hours seems like a fairy-tale,  a really good fairy-tale, one I would like to star in.  You also tend to get really restless between 5 and 7:30 ish, so I put you in bed next to me and you settle right in for another hour or two.  I LOVE this time with you.  My favorite time of the week is Saturday morning when Daddy gets to snuggle in bed with us as well.

You are so much fun little monster and we are so excited to watch your little personality develop!!
