griffin {two months}

My mom put the quilt together just in time for Griffin's two month pictures. Isn't it fabulous?? I can't wait to see it all quilted and finished. It will be a great addition to Griffin's room...you know, the room that we will hopefully finish before Griffin is too big for a nursery. :)

I was smart this time and did our little photo shoot while big brother was sleeping. I think Griffin appreciated not having to worry about being sat on while his mama was taking pictures. 

Griffin's eye is a little red in these pictures. He has an overactive tear duct and sometimes it gets a little red from trying to keep it clean. Poor baby. Levi had the same thing. Someone mentioned in Griffin's one month pictures that the little stripe on his diaper was green...meaning his diaper was wet and needed to be changed (diapers are so fancy now, huh?). Obviously I should have changed his diaper before his one month pictures. And maybe I should have waited until the next day for his two month pictures so that his eye wouldn't be red. But, I kind of like the real life pictures that are not so perfect. They tell the story of life with my growing baby:

1 month - changing wet diapers all the time

2 months - wiping goopy eye all the time

That is real life.

Here is a glimpse of Griffin at two months...

You are definitely trying to keep up with your "big" brother. At your two month appointment you weighed 14 pounds, 10 ounces and were 23.5 inches long. You eat every 2 to 3 hours which feels like ALL THE TIME. But you are a growing boy, right? Hungry boys will probably be the story of my life. I'm good with that. I just might need to learn to cook in larger quantities. 

You are smiling all the time now...although I didn't catch many smiles this day. You love to be talked to and talk and coo right back at us. You actually have a pretty loud "talking" voice. Maybe because you want to make sure you are heard over your loud brother? :)

We haven't quite gotten into a sleeping schedule yet. You are pretty predictable during the day...eat, play, sleep. You even usually take a longer nap during Levi's nap time. You must know your mama needs a little break. Thank you sweet baby. 

Your nights are not so predictable though. You are waking up 1-2 times a night...and I never know when that will be. Lately you have been going to bed between 10 and 11pm, waking up between 2 and 5am, and then going back to sleep until 7 or 8am. You usually go right back to sleep though, so I won't complain. Tiredness is just part of being a mama...and it is so worth it!

You are a snuggle baby. You are so happy as long as someone is holding you. It is a good thing I have to take care of your big brother because otherwise I might just sit and hold you all day. When I am holding you, your big brother always wants to sit in mama's lap too. He loves you just as much as I do...he just doesn't always love sharing his mama with you. :)

You are such a sweet little boy...the perfect addition to our family. 

At two months we all love you so much!
