Collin 2 months

Well, its true what they say...
You definitely take less pictures with your second child. Sorry buddy!
I guess its because your busy with the first child.
Collin doesn't seem to mind to much. He's a pretty laid back guy.

Well, laid back most of the time! Hah. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I love the pictures when babies cry or pout. I'm sick.
So here is one.

Collin does a half smile that I love...
here it is....

Here's the official 2 Month picture with the "watch me grow bear". I think next time I take these I will do it with just a onsie on. Much cuter to see some chub...
Speaking of chub. Our little Collin weighed 12 lbs 8 oz at his 2 month visit. He was 70th%tile in weight. I'm not too sure about his height. Whoops, sorry buddy.

How sweet is he!! I could just eat him up.

Dear Collin,

Lately you've been sleeping in your swing, which you love. Only during the day. At night you are still in the bassinet pack and play right by my bed. You are giving me one 4 hour stretch at night. Usually you go to bed around 9/10 ish and wake to eat around 2 am. Then again at 5 am. Then we are up with Sissy at 7 am. Its getting better because you are eating faster. Usually you will only eat on one side, like a little snack. Sheesh...I wish you'd have a meal at 2 and skip the snack at 5 and sleep until 7am. How about it Bub? Maybe soon. :)

I really don't mind. You are a great nurser and you love it.
You love it so much you won't even take a paci. I have tried every brand, but to no avail you are not a paci guy.

This month you got to go to a Tacky Christmas sweater party, this is what you wore.
Not tacky at all. You looked pretty darn cute in it.

 

Everyone says how much you and Mady look alike. I must say....I really see it in this picture.
I love my babies.

Did I mention I love your chubby cheeks?
I can't get enough kisses on them throughout the day!!!

We are so blessed to have you. You are truly a gift from the Lord.
I was super excited when I came across this verse to put up in your room. You are an answered prayer, my love.

You started to socially smile this month!
Love it.
Its so fun.
I look into your eyes and talk to you and you literally light up.
Your entire facial expression and countenance changes.
I love that you love me :)

It is hard to get pictures of those smiles though...
but I am very good at getting pictures of your naked rolls. I could eat you up!!!

Please don't hate me for posting these one day :)

Lately you've been sucking on your hands to sooth yourself.
Its quite cute.

We had an unseasonably warm November day a few days back and I was able to get you into the Ergo carrier (your first experience in it) and you slept the entire time we were at the park. You did great.

Did I mention how handsome you are?
Well, you are.

You also are a joy. So laid back. You only fuss when you are hungry or its the 7pm "witching hour" as they call it. You aren't your happiest during that time, but thats ok.
You've begun to put yourself on a little schedule of sleeping about 4 naps a day. Which is nice. I am able to spend a little time with your sissy during those times...but I always look forward to our special time while sissy sleeps and we can "talk".

You have started to "talk". Little baby coo's here and there. I told you to speak up so you can keep up with your loud sister. :)

You are a precious gift and I love you.
Happy 2 months Collin Edward.

Love,
Mom
