Letter to Jarom: 2 Months

Dear Jarom,

I saw another website where the mom wrote a letter to her daughter for every month of her life. I thought this was a really fun idea - to give you something you could look back on and see what you were like when you were too little to remember. On Halloween you turned 2 Months old. You've always had your own little personality but over the last month it has started to develop so much more. You've become more independent - you don't always have to be held when you're awake - which is kind of a relief to me because then I can get some of the

housework done! That's not to say you don't still like to be held, and you're a very cuddly baby, which is very nice for your family and friends who really like to hold you. And just when we thought you couldn't get any cuter you started smiling and cooing at us which makes you a million times cuter if that's possible! For Halloween you were Tigger - a miniature version of your dad. We dressed the two of you up in your Tigger suits and took you to Gardner Village. Everybody had to stop and see the cute little Tiggers! I took you to the doctor this week and you were a perfect little angel. I was a little nervous because you had to get your first round of vaccines and I didn't know how you would do. You screamed when the nurse was putting the needles in but as soon as she was done you went back to being your regular happy self. Your legs were a little sore for the next couple days but you weren't too much fussier than usual (which isn't very fussy at all). I gave you the baby monkey Grandma Watts gave you and you just held onto him and that seemed to comfort you. You're growing like a weed - well, a very short, chubby weed. Right now you're 12 lbs 5 oz and 22 inches long. That's 4 lbs and 3 inches more than when you were born. Daddy and I feel very blessed to have such a special little boy in our family.

Love, Mommy
