The Little Sir is 2 Months Old! (Apr. 18)

Guess who turned TWO months old on April 18th? Why this handsome Little Chap, that’s who!

Our Little Sir still spends most of his time eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping, and then sleeping some more…

And he’s still the best Little Cuddlebug around…

But as of late he’s added a few new activities to his daily repertoire.

Like smiling…
(Terrible selfie, I know, but check out the dimples! I made a baby with dimples!)

And coo-ing…
(Now I may not speak baby, but I am pretty sure that when he talks he’s telling me how appreciative he is of my efforts and sacrifices. Yep, it’s gotta be that.)

And not to be out-done by his siblings, he’s hard at work GROWING! And I mean really growing, as in needing 6 month clothes before he even turned 8 weeks old. It’s good to know that our sometimes hourly feedings are paying off, as the pediatrician told me today that he’s…

>99% in height at 25 inches,
88% in weight at 14lb 8 oz, and
71% in head circumference at 40cm

That’s my (big) boy.

Thankfully for me, most of those feedings take place during the day now, as the Little Sir has decided that he does in fact like to sleep at night. Just as long as plenty more cuddles are involved. Score one for Mama!

(And yes, I am wearing my glasses in this photo to hide the dark circles under my eyes.
Check it.)

Happy 2 Months Little Sir Sweetie Cakes! We love you so!

The Little Sir is ONE Month Old!

Our charming Little Sir turned a whopping ONE month old today. He celebrated the special milestone in his typical fashion…

With just enough awake time to eat and poop and eat some more…

And then top off his special day with a nice relaxing nap…

Followed by another…

And another…

And what the heck, how about one more?!?

As you can see, ladies and gents, our Little (Sleepy) Sir is one wild and crazy guy.

But in those rare moments when he does actually grace us with some alertness, he’s the sweetest Little Cuddlebug you ever did see.

And then he takes a nap…

1 Month Stats:
Height – 23.5 inches (>100%)
Weight – 11lb 13.5 oz (93%)
Head Circumference – 37.7cm (67%)

The Little Mister is 18 Months Old! (and counting…)

Truth be told, as I write this post my darling Little Mister is actually 19 months old. But I seem to run slow doing everything these days (time to play the pregnancy card!), so it’s only fitting that this post is also a wee bit tardy…

That aside, I must gush about our sweet Little Boy who is growing in leaps and bounds! Literally! The poor kid injures himself at least once a week. Let’s just say that his adventurous spirit cannot be harnessed.
…And that I should probably have the Duke ER on speed-dial.

As I learned at his last doctor’s appointment, the Little Mister continues to follow in his Daddy’s footsteps…

…Particularly in the height department. He measures in at a whopping 90.2 cm, or above the 100th percentile! The doc actually said “whoa!” when he saw that stat, and told me that puts our Little Basketball Star at about 6’4″ by the time he’s 20. (His weight is 27lb 13oz, or 86%).

And that’s only fitting because our Little Guy loves his Daddy so. Despite the fact that I carried him for 40 weeks + 3 days, endured an emergency appendectomy during his pregnancy, and nursed him well into his second year, Daddy is his role model and favorite person in the whole wide world.

Well, just so long as Teddy (the dog) isn’t nearby.

But worry not, my faithful fans. The Little Mister does, in fact, possess some of his wonderful Mama’s traits as well.

(And that’s a good thing, seeing as though the blend of Daddy’s big head and my slightly small one resulted in his head circumference being smack dab in the middle – 47.8 cm or 57%.)

…Particularly when it comes to his sparkling personality and gift of gab.
