and then I blinked…

Two whole months. Wowza.

To end the drought that is my blog, a letter to my sweet baby boy.

Papoose,

My, oh my, how you’ve changed so much already! Your Daddy and I look at you everyday and can’t believe how quickly you’re growing and how smart you’re getting. At least once a day I think about how unbelievably lucky I am to be your Momma. I used to sit and wonder what you were going to look like and what type of personality you would have and being able to witness both those things now is an indescribable feeling. Each morning I swear you look the tiniest bit different and I know the days of that double chin and your marshmallow arms are numbered, but rest assured I’ll nibble them as long as I can.

You are a stinker, plain and simple. Not a single day goes by that you don’t do something that cracks your Daddy and I up. The faces you make and your uncanny knack for cooing back at us at the perfect moment seem too big for your britches! You wake up happy and cooing and you go to bed the same way. All day long you smile. And that smile, boy, you melt hearts. You aren’t stingy with them either, you hand them out to anyone and everyone you see. You’re quite the social butterfly as well, letting everyone talk and fuss over you and you soak it up! We can’t make it through the grocery, or anywhere for that matter, without a people stopping to fawn over you and squeeze your chubby legs and cheeks!

You’re my strong little bull. You love “tummy-time” and really like it when Momma gets on her belly with you! You like your color rings and your noisy blocks, but I’m pretty sure I’m your favorite thing to play with I couldn’t believe it when you were holding your head up at 2weeks, now you lift your whole chest up and look from side to side! You roll onto your side and are always trying to stand up! It’s good that you play so hard during the day because it wears you out and you’re such a good sleeper! You only wake up twice a night and the 2nd time is always between 5:30-6:30 but I’m just not ready to get up that early!

The Dr. couldn’t get over how well you’re doing and says that you’re perfect! You came in at 14lbs 12oz and are in the 95 percentile! You’re also in the 95 percentile for your height, I couldn’t believe it when they told me you’re 25in. long! You’ve already grown three inches! Your head measurement came in at 40.5cm. You seem really big for your age but in comparison to your birth stats you are growing right on track! I’ve already gone through your closet once to weed out the things that don’t fit you anymore and we had to buy you 6mo. onesies and shirts! You’re just too long for the 3mo. size, they would squish your diaper all up, and barely snap!

Your Daddy and I love you more than words and are so happy we have you. I wouldn’t trade being your Momma for anything and you make every day something special. I love you littlebutt. Keep growing and laughing!

Love, Momma
