Little Dude {2 Months}

**Check out the Nourish Baby Organics giveaway going on until Friday!

Two months old. It's hard to believe really. Actually it feels like you have been with us for longer than that.

You are such a sweetheart. And "easy."  You sleep through your sisters screaming and playing & when she's trying to shove your 'squishy' {pacifier} into your mouth whether you want it or not. Most of the time you just hang out were ever we are in the house and you let us know when you're hungry or need a change of scenery or a new position.

It's been a lot of work, taking care of you and your sister, who is still a baby herself. That I can't deny. But it feels like we've all just fit into our roles, like we were always meant to be this famliy of four. It's hard to explain really, but it just feels right.

Maybe it has something to do with your easy going personality. You are perfectly comfortable just laying on the floor looking around, watching your sister play around you. Or you might be found snoozing in your swing or hanging with mama in a carrier while I clean or make dinner. You are there with us while we do our daily things. And you seem happy to just be where we are.

I don't know if it's possible but I'm falling more and more in love with my handsome little man every day. I find my self thinking and wondering about the little person you will turn out to be and what personality God has chosen you to have. I can't help but dream and pray about the purpose He has set before you. And hope that you will desire to follow Him in what ever He has for you in the life. I know He has great things for your precious life

You are such a happy, content baby. I love the little smiles and coos that we get when we talk to you. And how you study our face when we hold you close. Although you are more awake now, you still sleep A LOT! You are usually down for the night by 9 or 10pm and sleep until 2 or 4 when you wake to eat, then you go back to sleep until 6 or 7am. Until we finish the final touches in your nursery you are still in our room.  While I'm excited to get your room done and have you settled in there, I'm going to miss having you so close to us at night. 

You've finally out grown your newborn clothes and fit nicely in to 0-3 month size clothing. Right now you also still wear size 1 diaper, but once we use up the stock you have now you will be graduating on to cloth diapers. 

As for how much you've grown in the last 2 months:

Weight:    11 lbs 5 oz {50% - gained 3 lbs 7.5 oz}

Height:     22.5 in  {45% - grown 2.5 in}

Head:       15.25 in  {25% - grown .5 in}

And to compare with your sister at this same age:

Little Lady {8 wks}

Little Dude {8 wks}

You and us, my sweet boy, we were meant to be.
