2 Months Old


Dear Garrett,

2 Months. Well, you are actually 10 weeks old, but it’s close enough. We had your well baby exam today and everything looks great. You still have a clogged tear duct that causes your right eye to be irritated a lot of the time, but you’re cute as a button and happy, happy, happy. You are seriously the easiest baby ever. You rarely cry, and when you’re awake, most of the time you will just hang out and observe whatever is going on. When you do cry, you are easily calmed down, unless you have gas bubbles, which I have noticed happens when I eat tomatoes or chocolate. (Justin was the same.) You love to swing and snuggle. One of my favorite things is when the timing works out for both you and Justin to take naps at the same time in the afternoon. Rather than be productive, I usually fall asleep with you in my arms. In the evenings, after Justin has gone to bed, you stay awake and talk to me and Dad and smile away. Your coos are adorable, and your smile lights up my life and makes any challenges from the day worth it. You aren’t much of a binky boy. You’ll take it for a few moments now and then, but usually you fall asleep without it. Speaking of sleep…like Justin, you are definitely not sleeping through the night. However, after you eat, you fall back asleep pretty quickly. You like to be swaddled except for one arm, and you need mittens on because your hands are always up on your face. You have found your fists and love to suck on them. Justin is so sweet to you and gets very concerned when you cry. If you’ve been sleeping, he is always excited to “doe see” if you’re up and says to me, “sounds lite Darrett is awate! Let’s doe check!” He gets really excited when you smile at him and says, “Darrett loves me,” with a big, proud big brother smile. We love you so much and are so happy to have you around.
