two whole months

Tuesday, December 20, 2011 |

my sweet benjamin,

 today you are two months old. can you believe it? mommy can't!  tomorrow we will take you to the doctor and find out just how much you weigh....based on the amount you eat and the way your cute little tummy fills out your 3 month old clothes....i'm guessing the number is quite impressive.  you are such a sweet little one.  you are still so brand new but you look at the world through a set of wise little eyes.  you smile alot and coo at the sound of soft voices. it gives me goosebumps and makes my heart swell to see the corners of your mouth turn up and those gurgly newborn noises come out.  i still can't believe you are all ours.

 you are sleeping so well these days.  most nights you go to sleep around 9 and sleep until about 4....sometimes even 5! we are grateful for this and even though we'd love you regardless, appreciate a little help in the snoozing department.  when you do get up, you are ravenous! you don't give us much warning when you are hungry.....and during your awake hours, you eat pretty much around the clock.  you love spending time in your playmat and will giggle and coo when we make bicycles with your chubby little legs.  you kick and squirm like you've really got somewhere important to be!  you put up with your energetic boisterous sister and don't shy away from getting involved with the conversation :)  you put up with her obsession with touching you & i think you're enjoying just how much she loves you.  you are getting so good with your head and smile extra wide when you are upright and taking the world head on.

i can't really put into words how much we love you. no matter how much i tried. i had visions of you before you arrived and you are way beyond anything i could have ever imagined. you are perfect. your sister is so in love and mommy and daddy....well, you've got us wrapped around your fingers.  you and your big sister, i tell you.

my little {big} man, we love you so.  more than you will ever know. two months ago you arrived.  you arrived and the world, our world, has been a better place ever since.

i love you. to the moon and back and even more than that. and promise that i always will.
mommy
