Two Months Old

I don't know how parents of more than one child do it! By 'it' I mean pretty much anything day to day including little things like a blog, and big things like vacuuming, deep cleaning, exercising, making dinner and the biggest of them all- grocery shopping!
I am in love immensely with this little handsome boy and I am so grateful for Dustin's job and his willingness to work so hard so I can stay home with Garrett. I really wouldn't have life any other way than raising our child ourselves instead of a day care raising him. I would be missing out on all his personality! He's starting to talk and coo more, and is much more responsive in smiles he gives- which are the sweetest little smiles I've ever laid eyes on! He takes pretty good naps of 3-4 hours. Rock on when he finally drifts off! And he actually slept through the night for the first time last week! It was the day after his actual 2 month marker. He only did it for two nights I think because he didn't feel well and because of his shots; but he woke up at like 4-5 AM, and I still had to get up and pump...but he himself actually did sleep. Progress! We haven't seen it again since then, but now we know he can sleep 7-8 hours on his own. He also is such a strong boy and holds his head up with very little bobbing! Tummy time only lasts about 5 minutes on the mat, but we hold him on our chest and he will have tummy time there for a lot longer while he looks at our faces. So sweet!
Happy two months to my 'little mister'!

Reading books before naptime- he loves, loves, loves Barnyard Dance! He smiles every time I read the word 'cockadoodledoo'.
