Raymond Thomas – 2 months

cute baby chubbiness

Raymond is 13 and a half pounds – 2 months – pretty chunky. Everything checked out healthy at his 2 month appointment. He has been such a sweet baby. He is usually pretty chill. I find myself just wanting to sit and hold him in the evenings when the chaos has gone to bed. He is not a snuggler though, he prefers a little bit of space, usually facing out. In fact when he is fussy a lot of times the solution is just to put him down and let him stretch out. We love baby Ray so much. It makes me wonder if I had 100 kids would I still love them all so fiercely. Do our hearts and minds have a love limit – so far my answer is no limits. Ray has been sleeping from 10 or 11 pm until 5 or 6 am and then back to sleep for a few more hours while we get our morning started. Like I said before – sweet sweet baby.

Packer weighs 38 pounds. He went in for his kindergarten shots this week. He was super brave. He told me that there is a sucker trick for doing shots. The trick is to get a sucker and then when they are going to give you the shot you crunch the sucker really hard and then you won’t feel the shot so much. That is exactly what Packer did. He crunched hard and didn’t cry or yell or anything. What a good boy. He didn’t do very well on the eye exam but the nurse said that it was normal for his age and not to worry about it yet. Everything else he did great and is a healthy boy almost turning 5 in a few days.
