2 Months Old!!!


Winston had his 2 month check up today... he is 13 lbs and 4 ounces now!  A little bit bigger than Elliot was at this point... He's smiling on demand... cooing for a few weeks now... His manner is very relaxed.  He hardly cries and it's usually resolved with food or a diaper change!! woohoo!  The doc said if you have a fussy baby...now would be the fussiest time for him...and it's allllll good.  Just the past few days he's been sleeping on a bit of a schedule I suppose... atleast at night... he goes down in the crib around 9... wakes around 2am for a feeding and then sleeps until 7 (or when Elliot comes in and serenades us "it's morning!!!!! it's morning!!! everyone wake up...its a a great day."  he usually says...)

Elliot loves to give him hugs and kisses...and is even more tickled when I have Winston give him hugs and kisses!

Blessed best describes what I am.  Elliot's toddler-hood has been a monumental challenge in my life...along side caring for two small children at once...and well, mashed in with all other challenging aspects of life... and yet, at the end of the day it all somehow gets pushed aside and, blessed... is what I am.

Seriously... why do they have to grow so fast though?

Winston starts to doze off and Elliot sings him a little lullaby infused with another question towards the end...

Will held Elliot at 2 and a half months and let him "walk" across our bed...

I'm sure it's a reflex that all babies have...but it's too funny to me... 

Here is Will attempting the same with Winston at just under 2 months...


I just love comparing my boy's similarities and differences as they both grow!!!

Elliot wanted me to draw monsters with him on his chalk board... I would draw one and then he would look and mine, while drawing his... I thought the outcome was pretty cool...

Imagination station...

Elliot's imagination is in full effect... We act out things together, as he directs me... His toys tell stories to each other... a simple shadow at night has become a slight fear of monsters... Side note: Elliot is really in to Winnie the Pooh at this point (I want to make these little notes for myself...so I can look back and jog my memory...)  He also LOVES to read and be told stories.


(I know there is a way to rotate my videos...but I can't remember how at the moment... sorry!)

 Elliot gets distracted... Winston goes "weeeee".
