Graham Baby,

I am not quite sure where this last 2 months has gone.  You are a complete joy and have quickly made your place in our family.  We couldn't imagine life without you.  Like you brothers were, you are generally a pretty easy going baby, despite all you have to endure.  Daily taping, the NAM, weekly doctor's/dentist appointments, reflux, two older brothers, none of it seems to phase you.   

You continue to nurse well and tend to eat about every 3-4 hours.  Night times are a little more tough because once you eat, usually around 2 am and 6 am, we have to replace your NAM, which always seems to wake you up.  Thus far we have you sleeping in your bouncy chair in our room but Dr. C wants us to put an end to that.  This is something I would have never done with your brothers.  I guess I have softened in my old age.  We are starting the transition to the flat co-sleeper so hopefully the move to your room (once it's done) will be a little easier.  During the day you are still very much a sleeper.  You spend about an hour to hour and a half awake before dozing off to sleep whether it be in the car seat, swing or in my arms.   Your fussy times are usually solved with a good swaddle and a binky. 

You are all smiles and I LOVE it.  As long as you are well fed and well rested you dole them out freely. You have even started to give a little coo in the past few days.  We got your play mat out last week and although at first you were not a fan of being put down, I think you are beginning to warm up to it.  You get your little legs and arms going like you are going to take off.  I could sit and watch you for hours. 

You have graduated from newborn diapers to size 1!  Mommy is also in the process of putting away your newborn clothes and moving you into your 3 month clothes.  You have just about grown out of your "coming home outfit" and it makes me sad.  But I do love seeing all the new things you are doing.

You have finally discovered your brothers.  You could sit and watch Alex for a whole 5 minutes.  He moves so fast you sometimes have a hard time keeping track of him.  He loves you though and showers you with loves and kisses, whether you like it or not.  

In your short 2 months you have had your fair share of travels.  At 4 weeks we headed out to Suncadia for our family vacation.  You were a champ and loved the constant attention.  This weekend we are spending it relaxing on Camano Island with the Hirst family.  You seem to like the changes in scenery. 

 

We love you G baby.

Thank you for being you!
