Moot Thoughts & Musings

Today Ellis is two months old!

Right now he is sleeping on his little blanket that sits by my desk so that he's near me as I work.
This month he's graduated from newborn to baby, filling out with all the cute baby chubbiness. I just want to pinch his little cheeks! He fit into the 0-3 month clothes finally. It's because he's such a good eater. What a piggy! When I give him a bath, I have no make sure I get into all his fat crevices to weed out lurking lint.

This month he's also made his presence known in the world in a much more compelling way. His cries have gone from the newborn squeak to a full-blown wail. The problem is, he is still so cute when he cries that his mommy and daddy just laugh. Poverino! He has always been a wiggler, but now his wiggles mean something! He even wiggles in his sleep. Sometimes he wiggles completely off his nap blanket. As he wiggles across the floor it almost looks like he's crawling. He's a strong kid, that's for sure. He has no problem lifting his head up off the floor or my chest if I'm holding him. He lifts himself up on his arms and looks around.

Because he's getting bigger, he's also sleeping a bit longer, waking up every 4-5 hours. One night he even slept for 7 hours, which made Mom very happy. Way to go, Ellis!

He makes hilarious faces, too. Whether he's in play mode, sleepy mode, or fuss mode, he always has us cracking up. Sometimes he adds sound effects to his faces. When he wakes up, he stretches his arms way up and grunts and groans just like daddy does. And if he thinks Mom and Dad are just way too silly, he scowls at us.

This is the month we found out that Ellis has hearing loss. So we'll see what God has in store for him.

Ellis is the best!! We just love him to bits!!
