Family News!!: 2 months old!!

Our little man hit the two month mark this week. Seriously-where did those 8 weeks go?? He had his two month well visit a few days ago and we learned our little man is off the charts. He weighs in at a whopping 14lbs 11 ounces and is in the 98+ percentile range!! His height was in the 25th percentile and his head circumference was in the 50th percentile. That means that Caleb is fatter than 98% of other babies his age!! The Dr joked that I must have Haggen Daaz in my breastmilk. I corrected her and told her it was Cold Stone not Haggen Daaz :) I guess its no coincidence I received my first spontaneous smile from him right when I was getting ready to nurse him. I hope it was me he was smiling at and not my boob :-)

Caleb is a happy, affectionate baby who is a very sound sleeper. He has to be with the worlds loudest sister often screaming a foot or two away from him while he naps. We are working on getting him to sleep through the night. There have been a few rough nights but for the most part we can get one 8 hr stretch out of him then he will wake up for a quick feeding and diaper change then go back down for another 4-5 hrs. So far it seems like Kyle and I have been gifted with two good sleepers!! Lucky us I know...

He recognizes us now and will give us those big gummy smiles that just melt your heart. So far his big sister Sabrina seems to be his most favorite person on Earth with me and Kyle running a close second and third. Whenever he is awake and she is near he just stares at her completely fascinated by whatever she is doing. It is so adorable to see them together! She is so sweet with him and seems to delight in playing with him and trying to get him to grab for his toys. I can go into another room and ask her to keep an eye on him and let me know if he gets fussy and she will often turn on the vibrate function on his bouncy chair to try to calm him before coming to get me. I really hope this keeps up but I highly doubt the love fest will continue forever.

He is still quite the chatterbox, often cooing and gurgling for minutes at a time. I wish I had a baby translator so we knew what he was saying!
