Month Two

You're two months old, Gavin!  

And my how you've grown.  You're now 10 lbs. 10 oz. and 22" long. You are starting to be much more alert, looking around and making eye contact.  You've even started smiling at us, which is such a beautiful sight!  We've also heard an occasional coo from you, and I believe it's just the beginning to the many conversations we will have.  You are sleeping four-hour stretches at night, and have made it a habit to hop into bed with me in the morning just for some snuggle time.  You are intent on nestling your head into mine while you sleep, and I can't say I don't like the affection.

You are still very easy-going and laid back.  Sometimes all the commotion of the household will overwhelm you, but a tight hug and a pacifier will soothe you right away.  You've started befriending the little objects that hang above your head and noticing patterns and contrasts in the environment around you.  Your sister can't stop tending to you, whether it's to wipe your mouth after you spit up, or replace the pacifier that fell out.  She also likes to sniff your head and sneak in kisses on your toes.  Your favorite thing to do right now is to go outside and just enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.  You are our little observer and I can't wait to hear what you have to say about all the things around you.
