Two Months Old

Oliver is two months old!  It's a little hard to believe.  I feel like I still don't know him.  With three other kids taking up so much of my time and this little guy sleeping so much, we don't spend a whole lot of time together.  Except in the night!  I love him so much though.  And I'm grateful for him in my life.  Developmentally, he right on with his due date.  So I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing a smile from him in this coming month.

This picture is very similar to the two month old pics I took of all the other kids.  You can see a comparison post here if you are interested.  Oliver is now 10 pounds, 11 ounces!  And 22 1/2 inches long.  That's about the 30th percentile for height and weight on the normal baby scale.  If you adjust for being a preemie, then he's a pretty big guy.

 He's a pretty sweet baby.  He loves snuggling up on your chest and will sleep there the best, though he's learning to sleep in his bed at night too.  He still helps me feel calm if I really stop and look at him and I think he'll always be a peaceful addition to our family.  (though when he's three, I might look back and laugh at this sentence…)  I do love his gentle spirit though.

 And Cooper loves him too.  I'm so excited for them to grow up together being buddies.  I'm already glad they'll have each other.
