Day 62-{2 months old}


Dear Eli,
You are 2 months old today. You are starting to become more and more fun. Daddy and I love that you smile at us and “chat” with us. Reid loves that you smile at him and watch him. 
Here is a list of what you do:
Sleep through the night (most of the time)
Smile
Sleep in the same room as Reid
Smile at Reid
Like being held
Like going for walks
Try really hard to suck your thumb
Projectile vomit ( oh what fun)
Wiggle A LOT
You love the mobile above the changing table
You pee a lot, so much so that the gdiapers aren’t keeping up with your pee
You still have blue eyes
You are strong and really want to stand up. I guess sitting is for babies. :)
You hold yourself up really well

At your 2 month check up you weighed 14lbs 2oz and are 24” long. You are a lot chunkier than your brother at this age and wear some 0-3 month clothes, but mostly 3-6 and some 6-9. 
We are glad you are a part of our family. 
I love you more than you know,
Your Mommy

First Day

Today was the first meeting of Moms group. 
It was also the first time I left Reid
 with someone other than family.
He was ready to go as soon as his bag was packed.
He did great.
He cried when other kids started crying,
but stopped crying after
they went back to their Mommies.
He had a great time.




Day 45

Brothers.
I love Eli's smile.
Reid is so curious about him.
This moment didn't last long
before Eli got poked or pulled on. :)
