Two months old...


Dear Benjamin,

You are two months old!  I can hardly believe how fast the weeks are flying by.  You had your check up last week and you weigh 12 pounds.  You are turning into a chunk with the cutest little rolls on your thighs.

Your second month was very exciting.  Just after turning 1 month old you were hospitalized with RSV.  You recovered well, and then got sick again about 2 weeks later with a cold.  It stinks to be the little guy with siblings going to school, sunday school, play dates, etc and bringing all those germs home.   But through all of the coughing and fevers and yucky stuff you started smiling and cooing.    And you have such a sweet toothless grin.

Even as a little tiny thing, you are such a boy.  You slurp when you eat, belch when your done, and I won't elaborate on how loud you are when you poop...but you usually give a big huge smile when you're done.

You are starting to sleep better, giving us a 4-5 hour stretch at night.  You're not such a great napper during the day, but who can blame you...there's always a lot going on around here.

Everyone around here continues to adore you...well except for the occasional moment when Natalie asks over and over why we have a baby.  But don't worry, she'll come around.  Peter and Luke have started calling you Benja-boy...they think it makes you sound like a super hero.

I continue to revel in your sweetness everyday.  And I am so thankful that God gave us you.

love,
mommy
