2 Months: What's going on?



Bo is 11 weeks old! I can't believe I've been a mother for almost 3 months. I know people always say "It goes by so fast!" but I don't think you can appreciate how short a day is until you are a mother. Here are few milestone Bo hit this month:
  • Sleeping 4-6 hours straight. I don't think you can appreciate how long that is until you are a mother.
  • Talking back and smiling a BUNCH. If you get his attention and start talking he'll eventually say "cooooo, goooo, oooooohhhh". It's so cute! I'm enjoying it because I know in about 12 years it won't be nearly as cute when he talks back.
  • Taking a bottle. We struggled with this at first, but now he's a champ. In fact, he got so good at it he decided that boobs were just too much work. I was really sad at first when he spit out my boob and screamed bloody murder, but I guess I knew this day was coming. I'm going back to work this week and I've not been successful at pumping, so he was going to go on formula any way. I enjoyed the time we got to share together while I breastfed, but I'm not really going to miss the sore nipples, or hiding out in my car because he got hungry while I was out somewhere. So this milestone is bitter sweet for me.
  • Starting daycare. He spent one day at Ms. Tammy's house so I could get some work done at school. He slept most of the time, but Ms. Tammy and Nanny (her mom) fell in love with him, which is really easy to do. :)
That's it for this month. I'll leave you with this thought:
I saw a diaper ad that depicted a mother watching her baby sleep. The tag line read: "He eats. He sleeps. He poops. And it's amazing." It's so true. My baby only has a handful of talents at this point, most of which involve a bodily fluid. And he's amazing.

  1. Meg you are an amazing Mother. I'm so proud of you. And yes you will appreciate this "talking back" so much more than the "talking back" to come. So enjoy every coo, goo and oh...
