Blakely Gray: 2 months

Blakely Gray,

You are two months old now!  You weigh in at 8 lbs 4.6 ounces.  You are 22.5 inches long, and your head is 14.5 inches in circumference.  That's a WHOLE 3 lbs bigger and 2 inches longer than you were at birth!.  You are in the 3rd percentile for weight (11th percentile adjusted age), and 75th for length!
You give the BIGGEST gummy grins when you wake up from naps, and have even started a cute little giggle.  You sound like the Pilsbury Doughboy!  You have fabulous head control for being SO tiny still!
You now wear newborn sized clothes and diapers!  We are glad you are out of the preemie clothes, b/c there really weren't many preemie options at the stores.

Mommy was the photographer at a wedding this past Saturday, and the bride and her father danced to a song with these lyrics:

 "But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it's still hard to give her away
I loved her first"

Your sweet little life flashed before my eyes, and all I could do was imagine you, being so beautiful on your wedding day, dancing with your daddy.  Oh, how I cried.  (it's a wonder I got good pics for that poor bride!)

I LOVE writing in the journals we got for you and Hudson.  Daddy and I write you letters a couple times a week, telling you of the new things you each are doing.

Hudson Michael,

You are 2.5 half now! You are ALLLLLL BOY BOY BOY!   You want to wrestle, jump, ticklefight, climb, scream, yell, fall, watch t.v., play in the sprinklers, and make us LAUGH all the time!
You are learning how to bargain, and think you can make deals ALL the time with mommy and daddy.
 It's hilarious!   I still sing your night night song to you every day at nap time, and sometimes at bedtime, when daddy needs a break from your night night routine!

Here is your favorite part:

"God bless mommy and matchbox cars
God bless dad, and thanks for the stars
God hears amen, wherever you are,
and I love you.
Godspeed little man,
Sweet Dreams Little Man,
You know my love will fly
to you each night
on Angel's wings."

You make me laugh so much.  You require a lot of patience, repetition, and even spankings! haha.  You love to sing twinkle twinkle little star, but you say "tinkle tinkle yittle tar."  melts my heart every time.
