Aaron - Two Months Old!

I feel like a broken record, but I can't believe that it has been two months already.  I have the feeling that I will continue to feel like this - time is going by so quickly with Aaron!  He is such a good baby and gets cuter and more fun every day.  He is such a happy little guy - usually content to hang out on his playmat or sit in his bouncy seat.  Right now, his days consist of sleeping, eating, smiling, cooing, playing and of course, pooping.

Aaron sleeps at least four hours most nights, sometimes even five or six.  We usually put him to bed around 10, then he sleeps for four or five hours.  He eats and goes back to sleep for another three hours or so, then more sleeping.  Since he goes back to sleep right after he eats, it makes for a pretty easy night for me.

Aaron has found both his voice and his hands this month!  He loves to babble and make little noises, cooing and "talking" to us.  He really thinks it is funny to have a conversation, talking back and forth.  This is especially funny with Cameron and Leah, who love to hear their little brother talking.  Aaron has also found his hands and finds them endlessly interesting.  He does a great job grabbing on to the toys that hang above his playmat and can grasp a toy if we put it into his hands.  The older kids think this is pretty cool too and they like giving him toys to hold on to.

One of the best things about this month has been Aaron's smiles.  They are so big and so, so cute!  Cameron and Leah fight over who gets to be right in front of him to try and make him smile.  It is one of my favorite parts of the day too, making funny faces or talking to him to make him smile.

Here are a few random Aaron thoughts:
- He is the sneeziest baby I have ever met.  He sneezes at least a dozen time every day.
- Aaron poops louder than any baby I have ever heard.  There is never a question of whether or not he pooped because we definitely heard it.
-  If we put a blanket over Aaron's feet when he is awake, he makes it his personal mission to kick the blanket off.  He is a little soccer player with how well he can kick his feet around!
- I love watching him stretch first thing in the morning.  He still sleeps in the swaddle, so first thing in the morning when we unswaddle him,  his little arms come up and he streeeeetches them out.  It is so cute!
