You're getting to be such a big boy! Today you're two months old and growing into such an adorable little guy. Over the past month you've learned how to do so many things that Mommy and Daddy often find themselves telling you to slow down! This month you celebrated your very first Christmas with your family and enjoyed every minute of it. You've also learned to show us that amazing little smile when we talk to you in silly voices and make faces (heck, I think I'd laugh at us most of the time too!) In the past two weeks you've also learned how to roll over from your belly to your back. At first I didn't get to actually see this with my own eyes because silly Maggie got in the way. However, a few days later, you proved your acrobatic abilities by rolling over three times in a row! What a talented little man!
Today was your first day with Dawn, your babysitter. Mommy had to go back to work today but I sure did miss you the whole time. I was so sad to see you leaving with Daddy this morning and I worried that you wouldn't be happy at the sitters. The day started off very well when I got a call from Daddy saying you slept during the entire drive there and that you were a very good baby. Dawn said you were a very well behaved little boy and enjoyed playing with your new friends Carter and Ryan. You just didn't like it when Dawn would rock you to sleep and then try to lay you down...then again, you don't like when anybody tries to do this! I think you'll have so much fun learning and playing with all the fun toys that you'll be surprised when Mommy comes to pick you up. You helped end my work day perfectly as well by showing me a huge smile when I picked you up. Such a sweet boy!
You go to the doctor on Monday to see how big you've gotten but I know already you've grown a TON since your last visit. You've outgrown all your newborn clothes and can fit comfortably in 0-3 month clothes. Today I put you in a Gerber 0-3 month onesie and the snaps came undone when I picked you up because you are so tall! I refuse to believe you'd have to wear a 3-6 month outfit...you're growing too quickly. As of right now you're still wearing size one diapers but they're getting a bit snug. The Velcro doesn't meet in the middle like it's supposed to but we haven't had any major leaks yet. I have a package of size two diapers just to be ready. I hope that's awhile from now.
You take a bath most nights and fall asleep shortly after your feedings around 8:00. I wake you up for one last feeding around 10:00 before I go to bed. You occasionally wake up once for a feeding in the middle of the night but for the most part you are sleeping through the night!!!!
Ethan, Mommy and Daddy love you very much and we look forward to what the future holds for you.
