Crosby @ 2 Months

Dear Crosby:

Crosy Bear! You are two months old! I would say that the time is flying by, but honestly, you, me and Daddy know this has been a long two months. As Anthony Kiedis once said, "the years are short but the nights are long..." You sure have changed A LOT in the past two months. You are wearing size 1 diapers and size 3 month clothes. We've worked really hard on getting you nice and chubby and I'm proud to say you now have plump cheeks, several chins and rubber band wrists. You love to nurse, cuddle and do ANYTHING that involves lots of movement. One of the easiest, fastest ways to calm you down is to bounce you up and down while holding you away from us and leaning your little body forward. You love for your Daddy to sing to you. When I watch the two of you together, I literally melt into a puddle on the floor. In the mornings when I'm getting ready for work (after I've pried myself away from you after an arduous, internal struggle), I prop you up in our bed and your eyes follow me around the room. You coo and smile and will try to mimic us when we talk to you. You love to go on our family walks. I carry you in the Moby wrap and Daddy walks your sister dogs on their leashes. This past weekend we tested you out in your fancy BOB stroller and you absolutely loved it! Hallelujah! Get ready Buddy, because we are going to log a lot of miles in that stroller. Before you were born, a dear friend said to me, "Get ready to love him so much that you think your heart will explode." Well, my sweet son, she was right. My heart is exploding. Happy two months, Crosby. We are so grateful that you are in our family and that we get to be your Mom and Dad.

We love you!
