Happy 2 Month Birthday Luke!!

Today Luke turns two months old!! It's amazing how fast time passes - especially with the second child! I remember the first two months of Dylan's life being filled with anxiety and questions each day... is this normal? is he OK? This time around we have a lot more confidence and experience, which make things a lot less nerve-wracking. However, I am still amazed at how fast time is passing. My tiny newborn boy has gradually become my baby giant! This kid is huge! We have his two month check-up in a couple of weeks and I imagine our pediatrician will tell us he's off the charts in weight and length - I'll keep you posted. He is sleeping a lot less during the day and starting to smile and goo, slowly developing into a little person. I came home the other day and his daddy even had him laughing - it was adorable! I can't wait for more.

While Dylan isn't growing in size quite as much as his little brother, he grows developmentally every day. His language amazes me all the time. I am surprised by all that he says and comprehends. He is speaking in sentences (although some of the fill in words are still gibberish). He is quite adept at communicating what he wants. He counts to ten, knows the alphabet and sings many of his favorite songs. We celebrated the 4th of July last week with some mild fireworks and sparklers; Dylan loved the ooh ahs (his word for fireworks). He's approaching his second birthday at the end of the month. We will celebrate with family and friends and hope to see you all there.
