Oh how babies grow right before our eyes. I can't believe he used to be so little! Love comparison photos so much.

My little mister has turned 2 months. Hooray! And my dad turned 68! This second month has been wonderful. Let's face it, the first few weeks and month of a child's life is hard. For everyone. Getting used to having a baby around, learning how to care for him, figuring out what he likes/dislikes, and essentially setting aside your own life to keep the little guy alive. But this second month? It feels more normal. I'm still grappling with inconsistent and inadequate sleep, but overall feeling more human. Yes, we often spend our days in our pjs on the couch, nursing, burping (him, not me), smiling, watching tv (me, not him), and sleeping. Not exactly real life, as one day soon I'll be going to work and he'll be going to daycare. But that aside, our new normal is in full force. And we are loving it. Unfortunately, Carter contracted RSV and has been sick the past 5 days with Bronchiolitis, so his 2-month appointment was postponed and I don't know all of h...

Yesterday was a quality Sunday. And because I am on leave, I didn't dread the day like I normally do! For starters, we slept until 8am. And Carter nursed incredibly quickly during the night, having his first cold, so we got at least 7.5 hours of sleep. Not counting the few times I awoke to his coughing and listened intently with worry that he would choke. Poor guy, though he did sleep quite well all things considering. And I felt like a new woman ! The little guy and I came downstairs and snuggled, nursed, and watched tv. It was a nice morning. He coughed a bunch which broke my heart, but then he followed up with giant smiles that reassured me he was feeling "okay." And I had so much fun with him. The way he stares with wonderment... Then Jon woke up (he gets late night duty and I get mornings), and I handed over the baby and went upstairs to work out. For the first time since, oh, November. Unless you count the pacing and bouncing and swaying I've bee...

How is it possible?  When we brought Carter home mid-December, he was this little pipsqueak: And 7 weeks later we have this blue-eyed chubs: I've said it a million times already, but I just can't believe this rapid growth. I am grateful that I have been taking photos pretty much daily, or I might forget about his crazy transformation. I haven't gotten out my big camera much with him, so I'm vowing to do that more often. iPhone photos are good, but they can't quite compare to the Canon.
