Letter to Megan: Month 2

Dear Megan,


Today you are 2 months old! You now weigh 11 lbs and are 22.5 inches long. You are getting so big! I had to switch you to size two diapers - they're supposed to start at 12 lbs but your thighs are so chubby the size one diapers didn't fit very well anymore. And I promise that while you are a baby is the only time I will discuss your thighs! Your eyes are still blue. Your brothers' eyes had turned brown by this age so we're hoping yours stay blue because they are so pretty. If not, you'll have pretty brown eyes instead. Only time will tell. Whatever color your eyes turn out you'll be beautiful.




You have started to smile and coo just in the last few days. You make a little noise like you're trying to laugh but you haven't figured that part out yet. You are so alert and expressive. You are a very sweet-natured baby and don't get upset unless you're starving!




You're not sleeping through the night yet but usually only wake up to eat around 3am. Then I just swaddle you and lay you in your crib and you put yourself back to sleep. That is so nice. Then I don't have to stay up for another hour trying to get you back to sleep. You don't usually even take your binky, you have learned to suck on your tongue instead.




You sleep really well in your carseat too. You love to go for walks and usually fall asleep in the stroller walking Jarom to or from school. If you have to be in the carseat when we go somewhere like a restaurant or church you like it to be rocking.


You hold your head up really well. You like to be held in an upright position so you can see what's going on so you get lots of practice holding your head up.




It is so fun to dress you in new clothes every day and put little bows in your hair. I just can't get enough of it! Fortunately for me, I'll be picking out all your clothes for several more years. We love having you as part of our family.

I can't believe it's already been 2 months. Really! Where does the time go? It's craziness. Miss you guys all the time, and plan to get together in the very near future. The time between visits is definately too long these days. XOXO
