Here you are at two months!
And here you are at three months old!
You are so darn cute I can't stand it! I am completely head over heals for you! If I had to use one word to sum up this time I would choose busy. Life is very busy and our days seem to pass in a flurry of diaper changes, feedings, changing clothes, making meals and cleaning them up, sweeping floors and wiping countertops, washing clothes, folding clothes, putting clothes away, wiping up spills and wiping away tears, kissing boo boo's, swaddling and rocking, putting out fights, picking up toys, acting as general contractor for homes and garages built from cardboard blocks, wooden blocks, legos, etc, and this all generally occurs before noon. Then we start over again after lunch. It's a whirlwind. By the time the last little head has been tucked into bed, I am completely exhausted. Hence the reason I am woefully behind in blogging.
However, I am determined that you will not be the third born child with no baby book, pictures or recorded memories to speak of when you're grown.
I am truly enjoying you so much at this age. You are the sweetest baby... easy going, happy and smiley and pretty straightforward in your needs. As long as your fed, changed and well rested then you have not a care in the world. You are perfectly happy to sit on my lap and watch the world around. You are very alert and quite strong. Last night you rolled yourself from back to tummy... you're advanced for sure:) You love to watch you're brothers in action. This morning I put you in the walker for the first time and you were smitten.
You're somewhere around fifteen pounds, but you just don't look as big to me as your brothers did at this age. You're wearing 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers and you generally eat 4-5 ounces every three hours. You like to nap in the swing or your rock n play in your room and usually take one long nap and several catnaps throughout the day. At night you go to bed around 7:30 and get up once... often around 4:00. A couple of times you have slept right through the night!
I don't know if it's having a third baby or knowing you are my last, but things with you are just pretty easy. I find myself wanting to hold you all the time and not even minding the middle of the night wake up calls. I know all too soon it will come to an end and I will desperately miss those sweet little coo's, that gummy smile and belly laugh. I love that I pretty much just have to pick you up and all is right in your world.
You are truly a joy and I am so thankful that God chose to give you to us. We love you Benny!
xo,
Mama
