Month 2

Well sweetie, what a month it has been! You have changed and grown so much we can't believe it. A couple of weeks ago you started really smiling. You don't really laugh a real laugh yet but you make this sound that is your own version of a giggle. I'm sure a full fledged one is just around the corner.


I go back to work this month and am really going to miss having all our time together. My mother will be watching you for a few weeks though and I'm glad for that. She adores you and will give you tons of love and attention while I'm gone.

You just started sleeping mostly through the night which is awesome. I didn't realize how tired getting up so often to feed you had made me until I finally got some sleep. Now, I have more energy than I know what to do with and that has resulted in more field trips for us. You hate your car seat though so it's never fun getting out the door. Once the car starts going you usually calm down though - only to get pissed again at the stop lights.

You love the mobile in your crib and your swing as well. I can park you with those in the morning and you just chill out smiling while I get ready.

You started giving us some issues with the bottle, but we seem to be on the upswing there. You Daddy has been a trooper trying to give them to you while you scream your head off. He HATES it when you cry. Sometimes I think it bothers him even more than me.

You started to really enjoy being read to as well lately. I didn't think it would happen so early, but you love to hear our voices and stare at the pictures.

Today you get your first round of vaccinations. We are dreading this visit since you'll have to get 4 shots. Luckily, you'll never remember it, but we will be traumatized for life from it. Okay, maybe that's a bit dramatic, but we will be sad for sure.

I love you more each day and I can't wait to see what new things you do over the next month.
Love,
mom
