2 months old








Sweet Baby,
You are 2 months old today! At 9 weeks old, we have established a great schedule. During the madness of the day you sleep most of the time while Ruby and I dance, sing, solve puzzles, play with her toys and deal with tantrums. You are very tolerant of her poking and fussing over you most of the time and generally sleep right on through it. When you do wake up, you open your sweet eyes, which are not crossed as much as they used to be and sometimes give us the cutest little smile when I smile at you!
You are really starting to ham it up, cooing and gaaing when I talk to you, especially when it's just us. Sometimes you cry just because you want to be held. You are very particular when it comes to paci's- we can't just give you any old paci. Oh no. The only one you like is the MAM 6 month sized paci. Not sure why this is.. Just one of the many many differences between you and your sweet sister.
Your eyes seem to be turning the same sparkling crystal blue that you share with your dad and with Ruby. You are so lucky! People are always commenting how beautiful those blue eyes are on Ruby and it's one of my favorite things about your dad, and one of the first things I noticed about him- his beautiful blue eyes.
Sometimes at night you sleep for 6 hours! Thank You, little one, for giving your mama a rest!
We just got back from your first vacation- we spent out anniversary in Blacksburg like we do most of the time.It's where your Daddy and I spent out honeymoon and it's close to where Dad went to school, Virginia Tech. He loves those Hokies, and I'm sure he will make you into his little recruit!
You're a big girl! You're already into Size 2 diapers and 3month sized clothes. Must be all that good milk your mommy makes for you. You're really filling out and getting to look more like a little baby as opposed to a skinny infant. My favorite part of your face is your little nose. It's just like mine, turned up at the end.
You were sleeping pretty much all day but now are starting to stay awake more. I started back to work last week and you spent your first days with the kids at Grandma Diane's and did beautifully. Daddy has his first whole day with you two tomorrow- hopefully you'll be nice and not too fussy for Daddy! He loves you so much and works so hard for all of us. Everyday when he leaves for work he says "Goodbye Mama.. Goodbye Ruby..Goodbye Charlotte".
Our nickname for you is "Squeaky Squirrel" or "Squeaks" because your cries sound like squeaks when you get really fired up.
This month you'll have your first Thanksgiving and then next month, your first Christmas. Our family has so much to be grateful for with you in our lives! Thank You God, for such a healthy, beautiful, wonderful little person as Charlotte Lucille Sawyer.

-Your Adoring Mama
