.2 months.


This little guy is 2 months already (well technically now he's almost 3, but in the pic above and the stats below he's 2!)

At his 2 month check:
  • weighed in at 14.4 oz. -- 90th % (my guess exactly BTW!)
  • he's grown 3 1/2 inches making him 2 ft tall -- 75th%
  • head circumference 15.5 -- 7th% (sorry dude, you got my little head)
He's holding his head up pretty good nowadays, smiling, and cooing. He's no longer wearing his skinny chicken legs but is now sporting some chubbers. I'm squeezing those chubs into size 1 diapers still...I have 1 pack left then we're moving on to 2's. He's finally starting to like his swing a bit now and then, but still really dislikes his car seat. Making car rides.....interesting...and LOUD. Calvin wailing at the dislike of his seat, Emmi singing to a crying Calvin, Brayden asking Emmi to stop singing, and Graycen repeatedly pleading, "Please STOP!, please STOP!" Gotta love the "tune-it-out" function God gave to Mommas! :)

I still feel like I'm winging it after 2 months with 4 littles. Everyday is different and most of the time a bit crazy. But I really want to enjoy this season, as crazy and sleep deprived as it is, while I'm in it and not just "get through it", but live it. Day to day. Hour to hour. And sometimes, minute to minute.

"Here is a sweet, fragrant mouth to kiss; here are two more feet to make music with their pattering about my nursery. Here is a soul to train for God; and the body in which it dwells is worthy at all cost, since it is the abode of a kingly tenant. I may see less of friends, but I have gained one dearer than them all, to whom, while I minister in God's name, I will make a willing sacrifice of what little leisure for my own recreation my other darlings had left me. Yes, my precious baby, you are welcome to you mother's heart, welcome to her time, her strength, her health, her tenderest cares, her life-long prayers! Oh, how rich I am, how truly, how wondrously blest!" --Elisabeth Prentiss
