Colton James: Two Months

Colton,

Hey buggy. Mama can't believe you're already 2 months old. Please stop growing? Everyone say this, but time is flying by way too fast. For some reason, I thought being home would help the time go a little more slowly. Nope, it sure hasn't. Our days are pretty busy and your brother keeps us both moving and on our toes. Don't worry, I still find time throughout the day to snuggle you and give you special attention. Night time is our most special time together. After your brother goes to bed, I take you downstairs to snuggle. You play in mama's arms for about an hour or so and then you eventually fall asleep. Mama snuggles you for a while and then we head upstairs to nurse one last time before bed. It's my favorite time of the day,

You are one sweet little babe. You smile constantly as soon as you make eye contact with someone and you've started giggling. Your smiles and your giggles are my most favorite thing. Your brother and your daddy love to try to make you smile and laugh. You are one happy little guy. We love you so much little buddy. You're the piece of our family that we never knew we were missing.

Love, Mama

You usually go to bed for the night around 10 pm and wake up between 7-8 am. You are one noisy little sleeper though. You get a little restless around 5-6 am, but you always sleep through it and go back into a deep sleep. You nap pretty well during the day. Your longest naps are after your 9:30 am feeding and your 12 pm feeding. You like to take your longest nap after you noon feeding.

Likes - Baby Colton, you love snuggling (the most), you love your swing, being worn by mama, being swaddled, going for walks, being in your car seat, driving in the car, your brother and your daddy, and playing o your mat.

Mama's Favorite - Mama loves your smiles and your giggles. Getting you to smile at your mama is pretty easy and I love it when I get those smiles and "babbles" out of you. You are the cutest babe in all the word. At least I think so. *wink*
