Monthly Update

Two Months

April 17, 2013

So, I’m only about a month late in writing this post, but I’m going to blame it on the craziness being a new mom. (I can still use that excuse for a little while, right?!) I mean, I still haven’t gotten all of the thank you notes and birth announcements mailed. I promise…they are coming!

Anyway, another month has flown by! Like I said last month, I feel like Cullen changes every day. I am afraid to blink; I might miss something.

At Cullen’s two month well check, he weighed 11 pounds 6.5 ounces and was 23.8 inches long. This kid is long and skinny…not quite the chunk we expected, but he is as healthy as can be.

We are truly blessed to have such a healthy and happy baby. (Corey warns me not to tell people how great he is…apparently this is not the norm.) He almost never cries or fusses and is a great sleeper! A little before the two month mark, Cullen started sleeping 6 – 7 hours at night and has been doing so ever since. He is a little night owl and goes to sleep between 11 and 12 at night and sleeps until 6 or so in the morning. It is wonderful! Naps are a totally different story though. Cullen is a cat-napper. He likes to sleep for 15 to 30 minutes and then is up and ready to play again. Occasionally he will sneak in a longer nap in the mornings, but its almost like he is afraid he will miss something if he sleeps too long. As long as he is happy though, we are just going to let him do his thing.

Speaking of happy, this little boy loves to smile and laugh! If he is awake, you can probably get him talking and laughing. Our days are now filled with ‘ah-goos’, giggles, and the biggest smiles ever. My cheeks hurt most days from smiling so much!

Corey and I feel so blessed to be the parents of such a wonderful little boy. I love watching him grow and learn new things every day. He is a little ball of fun and he keeps everyone entertained. I cannot believe how much personality such a little person can have. I am excited to see what he will do next!
