Two Months

I still can not believe that my little man is two months old today. He goes for his well check and first round of shots next Wednesday, and I know that that appointment is going to BREAK my heart. I am already not looking forward to his crying. I was told I should go ahead and give him some baby pain reliever/fever reducer before we go - anyone else agree with that?? Or should I wait and see what the Doc says, take the bottle of medicine with me??

Here is how my baby is celebrating this minor birthday in his life:

Dear Ryan,

Two months have very quickly passed us by. You are getting so big - over ten pounds now. I feel so bad that you have to get shots next week, but they will keep you from getting sick! Momma will do her best to make sure you hurt as little as possible.

You are trying so hard lately to laugh at Momma and Daddy - and you are exploring your voice. You constantly make noises and sometimes I think you cry just to hear the noise you can make because nothing is wrong and you've already been fed. You are moving your hands and kicking your feet more, trying to get a feel for what you can do with them. You love to lay in your little jungle gym kicking and grabbing at the dangling animals. You are also getting to love your boucy chair with animals to hit.

This past month had a lot of firsts - but month three holds a lot of firsts too! You had your first 4th of July celebration, you got into the pool and went to the beach. You also got to meet your Aunt Carol and cousin Kimberly, who is also your God Mother. I look forward to many more memories.

I love you, munchkin.

Love, Momma
