lovely you

just want to let you know i've noticed some things about you...on this 2 month, 2 week birthday of yours...

You have more hair, and it appears to be much darker than your brother's...more like mine than Daddy's.

You look great in bright colors like magenta and orange and lime green. and I love you in polka dots and stripes--not necessarily at the same time, though :) But most of your outfits are chosen quickly and randomly as you are still too small for the majority of your clothes. The last we checked you are 8 pounds and some ounces, and the clothes (and diapers) that fit you best are the ones labeled NB for newborn. But, yay, you're done with "Preemie"!

Your eyes just might be more hazel than brown

You are extremely expressive--you love smiling back and forth and can do it even from a couple feet away--and you make these sweet "Oh"s that start in the back of your throat and then close your eyes and then open them back up wide, along with your mouth as if to say "Now, what are you going to say?" You don't mind playing this game with most people, but I'm kinda proud that when you hear my voice, even if someone else has you, you look for me and find me pretty quickly.

You have a super-cute dimple right under your left eye, really high up...I hope it stays.

I love your little toes and feet. I like to hold your foot while nursing...

You play with your ear while nursing. You cup your fingers around the top.

You're really not that into me talking or singing to you (and definitely not anybody else!) while nursing.

You don't look up much while nursing, until you get pretty full and start getting all smiley and wriggly and content at the same time. Sometimes you just fall asleep smiling for a minute and I LOVE THIS!!!

I love sleeping with your tiny body breathing in time with mine and I think its time we do that now.
