2 Months Old

Micah-

Today you are 2 months old! How the time has flown! You bring such joy into our lives everyday. This month brought lots of firsts. You started standing and really demand for us to help you stand up most times that you are awake and playing with us. You really enjoy working your muscles and we think that any day you are just going to take off running! You also gave us your first gummy grins this month. At first you would just smile in the mornings but as you got used to smiling you smile when ever we play your favorite games with you day or night. My favorite thing in the world right now is when I come to get you out of your crib in the morning you will look up at me and give me your biggest, happiest smile! The latest first that we have had is cooing. You are starting to "talk" to us and sometimes you even sing along to the radio in the car. Some of your recent favoites include Taylor Swift and Justin Timeberlake. We love hearing your voice and your Daddy is especially good at speaking baby to you and you and he often have whale-like conversations and Mommy just loves to sit back and watch.

You are ever more alert and aware of the world around you. You cry less now and instead actively take in everything going on around you. We are giving you lots to look at too as we took our first big road trip (outside of mommy's tummy) this month. We drove from our home in South Carolina all the way to Montgomery Alabama to accompany Daddy to a school he had to attend for work. You now have visited Georgia and Alabama. 3 states by the time you were 6 weeks old! Not too shabby! You are enjoying going all sorts of places with Mommy while Daddy is working. We go on lots of walks and errands. You love being in the fresh air and are so happy looking at all of the bright colors of spring outside. You also have been enjoying shopping trips with Mommy. All of the things to see in the stores seem to keep you wide awake and alert. There was so much to do and see this month and we did our best to soak it all in!

This month has also brought much more regularity to all of our schedules. We have worked really hard since day one to do things that will promote a healthy schedule for you and you are beginning to thrive on this. We always eat after nap time, then we spend time together and play and then nap all over again. This all leads up to bedtime where you are now giving Mommy up to 6 hours of sleep at a time! Mommy and Daddy are both much more well rested and so proud of how well you are adjusting to night time sleep.

Our happy family is getting the hang of life together. It seems that time is a precious commodity and we are trying to treasure every moment and experience with you. This month was such fun seeing your personality begin to develop and we can't wait to see what unfolds each new day!

Love,
Mom and Dad
