Happy 2 Month Birthday!

Dear Luke,

At 2 months old:

You are 13 pounds, 11 ounces, and 24.25 inches long (85th percentile!).

You love to smile, coo, move your mouth as if to talk, and interact with us.

You show your excitement when I lay down next to you by kicking your legs, waving your arms, and "talking."

You usually don't cry anymore during your baths, but actually look pretty relaxed.  You now get baths every other night (unless you have a particularly "dirty" day), instead of every third night.

You rarely cry while getting your diaper changed and are usually happy with the interaction and view of the ceiling fan from the changing pad.

You no longer stay asleep in your carseat after a walk or drive in the car. :(

You are ok with being alone at times.  Sometimes you lay in your crib awake and don't cry.  Of course I interact with you as much as possible during your wake times, but sometimes I need to work on something else and I'm glad you are independent enough to entertain yourself at times.

You are a stellar sleeper!

You have broken out of several swaddles (including the velcro), and they are awfully tight!

You no longer seem to prefer your right side over the left, but are much more balanced.  (We worked with you on this by intentionally turning your head, doing "exercises," changing your direction in the crib, etc., and it apparently worked.)

We love you and are so thankful for your little life!





Love,
Mommy
