Two Months Old...A letter to my son

Dear Timothy,

You are cuter and cuter every day. At the same time that I don't want you to get any bigger I can't wait to see what kind of little man you will grow up to be. A few short months ago I couldn't imagine being the mother of a little boy and now I am as proud and happy as a mom can be. I love you so much.

You are two months old today. Your neck is getting stronger and stronger and pretty soon you'll be able to hold your head up all the time. You like to push up on your elbows to look around when you're on your wedge; you look like a little turtle. But when I put you on your belly on the floor, you just lay your little cheek down. I love hearing you coo and I love seeing your smiles. You're getting more inquisitive and are reaching out for hanging toys. You like to sit on my lap when I'm at the computer and are already trying to copy me by banging away on the keyboard. You love your daddy. You love to snuggle up on him to sleep. Your big sister is your biggest fan. She especially loves to hug you right after you have fallen asleep. I think it's because you are so incredibly adorable, but it could also be that she just loves interacting with you so much that she can't bear it when you close your eyes.

You started wearing 3-6 months clothes last week. I have a few 0-3 months outfits that I didn't get pictures of you wearing and I may still try to stuff you into for pictures - but otherwise, I began changing out your drawers with a heavy heart yesterday. You are even wearing some 6-9 month pajamas and the 3-6 month outfit you are wearing today already seems to be short in the arms. You are growing like a weed! We'll find out exactly how tall and heavy you are at your wellness visit this Thursday.

Love,

Mom
