Giovanni 2 months old

Giovanni - you are two months old, this post is going up a little late, but you still are the joy in our lives. We have so many amazing memories with you already. Your Daddy got one of the biggest smiles from you when he walked into the room and you saw him. I have gotten many of your smiles and coos that make me feel so wonderful. Here are some of the things about you at two months old:

-You can still fit into some of the newborn outfits, but there are certainly a few that I have now put away because it's a tight squeeze.

-You weigh 8 pounds 8 ounces

-You are 21 inches long

-Your smiles are infectious

-Lots of things prompt smiles from you now

-You still smile in your sleep

-You actually like a bath now, as long as the water fully covers your body - you just don't like to be cold

-We've begun sleep training and you're doing awesome!

-You will actually go anywhere from 5 - 8 hours without needing another feeding as long as we've followed the routine

-When you wake up in the middle of the night and you're hungry - you are hungry and don't just cry lightly - you like to scream

-You will take a bottle

-You will actually drink your milk cold, right out of the refrigerator

-You look absolutely adorable in dark blue

-Your eyes still have a bluish hint to them - but I think they're going to turn out hazel like Mommy's and Daddy's

-You are being dedicated at church this Sunday...May 13th, 2012 - Mother's Day! 

-You love to be held!

-You will sleep in our arms any time of the day

-We just bought you a play mat and you haven't figured out how to reach for the toys yet, but you certainly stare at the lights! (When the music and lights stop you actually cried)

-You've been on two hikes already - one was in

-You've met Uncle Scott, Aunt Meggan, Cousin Anita, Cousin Kaleb, Grammy and Poppa,  Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Lauren, and Uncle Bobby

-Anita and Kaleb absolutely love you

-Anita likes to give you kisses and hold you

-Kaleb walks up to you and points to your Nuk and says night night - if it falls out he tries to get it back into your mouth, he also talks jibberish about you - and he did say Giovanni once

-You scream if you want something and once we figure out what the thing is - you stop instantly, but until then you scream and scream and scream

-You still sleep a lot (like 14 -18 hours per day and some days it seems like more)

-We love you more and more with each passing day!
