This is one of those sugary sweet posts that may make you a little sick to your stomach. But I can’t help it. This is just so cute!

I know I keep saying that Hayes is the sweetest, happiest, most content baby and he really is. Of course he has his fussy moments, but they’re very rare. He is just so low maintenance and is always okay to just go with the flow.

We’re pretty proud of him because he had mastered sleeping 9-10 hours at night without waking up, so we decided to do the next phase of Moms on Call, which has them sleeping 11-12 hours. And Hayes did it on his first try! He cried for less than 5 minutes at 5:00 a.m. and was then back to sleep until 7:30 this morning. I love Moms on Call!

He smiles so much. At this age, we had to try really hard to get Hudson to crack a smile, but once Hudson started, he never stopped! Hayes just smiles at us all the time and always seems to get tickled at stuff. It’s like he wants us to know how happy he is to be here. And that just makes my heart flutter!

We are so blessed to have this little guy in our family and I look forward to seeing him every single morning and miss him after he’s gone to bed.

Yesterday I put him in his swing and was talking to him and he started giggling. I was so happy to have had my iPhone with me so I could get it on video. He’s such a happy little guy! I can’t believe he’s almost 3 months old.
*I hope the swing and the fancy camera work don’t give you motion sickness. And I hope my over-the-top mommy voice doesn’t make your ears bleed!

Dear Hayes,

You turned 2 months old on July 5! I can’t believe two months have passed since we were here.

Time is flying so quickly! I already have trouble remembering what our family was like without you in it. You are such a sweet little spirit and we thank God for you every single day.

You are smiling all the time in the mornings and at night. You coo a lot, too. You just need someone to listen! It’s hard to find quiet moments in the house with your big brother around, but we’re listening to you.

You’re a big boy, but still not quite as big as Hudson was. You weighed 12 pounds, 2 ounces at your 2 month appointment and were 24 inches long. Hudson was 15 pounds and 25 3/4 inches long. You’re almost as tall as he was, so you’ll be stuck wearing his hand-me-down clothes for a while longer, at least!

You have become such a good little sleeper in the past couple of weeks thanks to Moms on Call. You sleep 9 straight hours at night without being fed and then go back to sleep for 3 more hours before we start the day.

You’re such an observant little guy. We’ll all be going about our business around the house and I’ll look down at you and you’re just grinning. I’m sure you’re laughing at us on the inside and wondering how on earth you became part of such a crazy family!

Hayes, you’re getting more and more control over your head movement. You’re still a little bobble head though!

You smile as soon as you see your “friends” on your play mat or in the car seat. It’s so funny to hear you try to talk to them.

You are wearing 3 month and some 3-6 month clothes. You have a couple of 0-3 month things that still fit, but you’re just growing so fast!

You wear a size 1 diaper during the day and a size 2 diaper in night.

You take between 5-6 ounces of formula per feeding. We just switched you to Similac Sensitive for Spit-Up and it seems to be a good fit so far.

Look how much you’ve changed in one month!
