a letter to emery | two months old

I can't believe you are already two months old, little bit! You weigh a whopping 13 pounds and 2 ounces and are 24.5 inches long! You are in the 81% for weight and 98% for height! You are such a chunk and I love it!



You are starting to have longer wake periods and are starting to develop such a cute personality. You still have your nights and days mixed up so you sleep most of the day and you are up most of the night. You will start to fall asleep for the night around 2 or 3am and you will sometimes do a 4 hour stretch. 

You love to be held facing out. If you are fussy, all I have to do is pick you up and face you outwards so you can see and you are good to go. You are holding your neck up so good and you love to be put on our chest to look up at us. Most of the time your eyes will go cross-eyed and your mouth make the "O" face and it is the cutest face I have ever seen. I hope I never ever forget that face you make.

You have the sweetest sounding whimper when you are getting fussy or hungry. You hardly ever cry at the top of your lungs. You are still doing the "sigh" sound after you sneeze and oh my gosh I loveeeee it! You don't seem to mind riding in the car or stroller and you are a really content baby. 

Goodness I love to kiss those precious cheeks of yours and I love to put your face against mine. There is nothing else like it.

You love bath time. You are unsure when I first put you in the water, but it only takes a second before you realize that you love it. You love with I squeeze the water from the washcloth over your belly. You scrunch up your cheek! (Avery did this same thing!)

You are starting to really kick those legs and arms! I will lay you on your playmat and you love to just kick! You kick so fast sometimes and I get really tickled watching you! You aren't too sure about tummy time on your mat, but you are getting the hang of it!

You have the longest eyelashes (thanks to Daddy) and you still have the darkest hair, but you have the lightest eyebrows. I hope that doesn't mean your hair will eventually lighten up! :) Your hair is curly as soon as it drys from being washed. It is so beautiful and I can't believe its curly!

You have the sweetest smile! I do all sorts of crazy things to get to see that smile, but you pretty much will smile at anything. You can just hear my voice and you will start to smile! You also love to smile at avery. She is always kissing on you "muuuuu ah" and you just smile up at her like you think it is the best thing in the world. She gets so tickled by you, little bit! She has to wave bye to you everytime she goes upstairs to lay down for a nap or at nighttime and you are the first thing she looks for in the morning. If you make any sound at all she immediately gets so tickled and starts laughing at you. 

You are wearing size 3 months and size 2 diapers. All of your 3 month clothes are starting get snug! I can't believe how big you are getting! You are growing so fast and I am trying to soak up these "tiny months" as much as I can because every time I look at Avery I am reminded how quick these months go. I look at your pile of newborn clothes that you can no longer wear and I can't believe it. Where did my 8 pound "little" baby go? Just like that you are already 2 months old! You make life so much fun! I catch myself daydreaming about you and Avery and I get so excited thinking of the bond the two of y'all will have. God sure had his hand in putting you in our lives and man I am sure glad this was his plan.

You are so loved my precious girl!
