2 months

Today you are 8 weeks old! I can't believe it! You have gotten sooo big... I've had to put away some of our favorite outfits on you since they don't fit anymore. :(

You were fun before, but you are even more fun now. You recognize me (at least recognize me as your food source). You will maintain eye contact, smile, and even occasionally giggle at people being silly around you.

Every one loves you. No one can keep their hands off of you... which is why you have bumps all over your face. You take after Momma in one department for sure: sensitive skin.

You make everyone smile and want to be nicer to others. You make me want to be better. And I love you for it.

After your 2 month shots, you were TICKED. Momma almost cried, but you stayed strong. You cried until I held you, then just looked at me as if to say, "What the CRAP, Mom???" You did fine the rest of the day, but got whinny at night. You got your first dose of baby Tylenol! :(

You are starting to not want to take a bottle from anyone else, and I feel OK about that until I NEED you to take a bottle from someone else. So, we are working on that right now. Daddy and I are trying to figure out what will make you take it some of the time and not at others. Temperature? Timing? We'll get it figured out.

Last night we bought you cereal. I want to try it when your daddy is home, though. So, you'll get a little bit tomorrow.

As of 9/21/2010:
Length: 24 1/2"
Weight: 12 lbs. 9 1/2 oz.
Head Circumference: 15 1/2"

P.S. Part of this was written on your 8 week mark, although I finished it and published it at 10 weeks... sorry, honey! :)
