Hello, Joseph! Welcome to our family! We have so enjoyed having you here. You've brought many joys and challenges with you.
Stats
We had your two month well baby visit yesterday and you weigh eight pounds and twelve ounces - one pound more than your birth weight. You were around thirteen inches long. You still wear newborn size clothes.
Eating
You're exclusively breastfed on demand.
Sleep
You sleep better than Gabriel did. You give us a 4-6 hour stretch at the beginning of the night, then wake around every 1.5-2 hours after that. You nap off and on throughout the day with long naps before 10 am, around noon, and between 2 and 5 pm.
Milestones
You suck your hands and kick your legs a lot. You enjoy tummy time and are excellent at pushing up and holding your head up. You're advanced by about a month in verbal skills and facial awareness. When I talk to you, you coo back and you seem to enjoy when I sing. You recognize my face and Gabriel's, and you know Daddy's voice. You have the most incredible smile.
Events
We had our first trip to Oklahoma. It went far better than our first trip with Gabriel. We also went to Rockport where you met your great grandfather.
Challenges
I feel like the first two months were harder this time, but I also think I've been more present this time than last time.
It's very challenging emotionally and logistically to have two.
Joys
Gabriel loves you.
Your smile makes it all so worthwhile.
I love you, son. I'm excited to see you grow.
Love,
Mommy
