Dear BabyLove! Holy cannoli, we survived 2 months! Your little personality awakens a little more every day and every day I think, "Gah! How could I possibly love him more?" Yet, I somehow find a way to do it. This month wasn't necessarily more challenging than the 1st month (in a lot of ways it was less challenging) but there is just always something new going on with you! For example, the other day after your nap, your diaper wasn't wet. What the heck?? Your diaper is always wet! You are famous for getting a new diaper on only to immediately pee in it! I'm starting to think you just like to see that little line change colors or something! Anyway, so when I found your dry diaper, I started thinking you were getting dehydrated and started writing down how many diapers you had that day. By the end of the day, after I recorded all 40 times you wet your diaper (I might have just exaggerated), I realize you aren't dehydrated and I just had a freak out first-time-mommy moment. Again. Sorry about that! Sadly I have done similar things when your left ear was flaky but your right ear was fine... When you coughed twice after eating... When you slept for 6 hours... You get the picture! You would think I would have learned by now that every day is different. You aren't a robot! You are a baby human! You have good days and bad days, sleepy days and piglet days, fussy days and smiley days, etc... And just so you know, whatever kind of day you are having, I'm oh so happy to have you in all of your forms! Happy 2 months of wonderful, Archer-love!
Love,
Mommy
P.S. Think of the biggest thing you can imagine! I love you more than that...

Because I don't ever want to forget your favorite things, I made a list of your current baby must-haves:
Summer Infant Swaddle-me wraps-I am challenged when it comes to swaddling with a blanket so these Swaddle-me wraps have been amazing. They are so quick and easy to put on you and you sleep sooooo much longer/better with them so it's a total win/win! I mean of course you still make all of your piglet/zombie/bird/dinosaur sounds, but your little peepers don't open as much when you are snuggled up in one of these babies!
Soothie pacifier**- I may totally regret this when you are 4 and begging to take your paci to PreK but as for right now, I am soooo grateful that you like it!
** Correction: When I wrote this blog last week when you were 2 months exactly, you LIKED your soothie paci. 3 shots and 6 days later, you intensely DISLIKE every paci ever invented. But it was a nice 2 months of love ; )
Munchkin Warm Glow Wipe Warmer- The absence of your cries during the majority of diaper changes leads me to believe you appreciate this thing. And honestly, if you have the choice to have something cold or hot on your bum, who is going to pick cold?

Baby K'tan. I prayed and prayed for a baby that likes cuddles and well.... Fish! Fish! Got my wish! You like cuddles so much it is nearly impossible to put you down for naps. Now that I have my Baby K'tan, I just plop you in my papoose (Pocohontas style) and get stuff done! And by stuff I mean my business (snacks, naps, Homeland/Grey's Anatomy, etc...)
(sorry for the crappy pic!)
Tiny Love Soothe n Groove Mobile- My co-workers bought you this mobile and it is probably your second favorite thing in the world (because your first favorite is obviously the boobs). - I apologize if that last comment scars you when you are older..

Muslin swaddles- You get cuddled in these constantly! They are so light and soft and precious and I seriously cannot get over how adorable you look in them. That is probably why you have 9 of these things...
Fisher-Price Discover 'n Grow Kick and Play Piano Gym- You LOVE this thing! Well... not actually the whole thing yet. You love the mirror mainly. You will stare at your little face for 20 minutes straight, making the most adorable faces that I don't actually get anything done while you are entertaining yourself. I'm too scared to miss a moment. #mommyhassomeissues
Baby leg warmers- Okay, okay. Maybe YOU don't love them (and your daddy HATES them), but Mommy thinks you look so flipping adorable she could die. Literally die.
