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

they went back to their Mommies.
