2 Months Already?!

Daddy's little boy

I seriously cannot believe that Evan is 8 weeks old already. Time really does fly when your having a blast! The past 2 months have been amazing- some days so good, some days so hard, some days so tiring, and some days the greatest. Here are some of the highlights for us:
1. Evan smiles all the time
2. I finally know what he usually needs from the way he cries
3. Breastfeeding has been a piece of cake for us- which is such a blessing
4. Evan has gone from newborn to size 2 diapers!
5. He is growing growing growing! (His appointment is next week and I can't wait!)
6. He is growing out of his fussy time
7. My Mom helped me figure out that he sleeps 1000 times better on his tummy
8. He usually only wakes up once in the night- sometimes 2
9. He is starting to show us his little personality
10. He loves his bathtime

As for the Mama:
1. I officially have my ankles back
2. I love being a Mommy
3. Finally went to the dermatologist and am starting to see my acne clear up! (Cross my fingers!) 4. Started a diet and working on getting back to my pre-baby weight
5. We sort of have a routine going that works so well for Ev and I
6. Love getting out and about. I even know what stores he likes and which ones he hates!
7. I have learned that being a mother is the most selfless thing you will ever do
8. My life revolves around Evan and Luke and I love that
9. I love seeing my two boys together- it makes my heart melt and warms my soul!
10. I love staying at home with my baby and getting to see him every second of every day.

So if the past two months have brought us this much joy- I can't imagine what a whole lifetime will bring! I love you baby Ev!!!!

Isn't being a mom the best. I can't believe he's 8 weeks already either.
