Wells is TWO Months

Gosh, our baby is getting so big.

Over 11lbs and as strong as a 4 month old – he’s developing so fast. He’s cooing up a storm, loves to watch brother’s balloons or Hudson playing xbox and his smiles are infectious. We had our first sleep through the night and it was glorious. He’s barely fitting in his 0-3 months clothes and his hair is getting lighter.

I can’t stop kissing his sweet face and surprisingly really enjoying nursing this time around. He’s a sweet little bundle and we’re all still smitten.

We all love you little man.

Palmer – Two Months

it’s truly hard to believe that he’s two months already. We’ve finally hit our stride with our routine and days are just flying by.

He’s such a big kiddo though! 24.5 inches long (over 95%!) and weighs 12 lb 6 oz – pretty much right on par with Hudson when he was 2 months. He’s wearing 3-6 month clothes (he’s so tall) and holding onto size 1 diapers since we have a stock pile.

Eating 4.5-5 oz per meal and just started to sleep more than 5 hour stretches at night. We’re hoping he makes it to his nursery within the next week or so to get him accumulated to his room. It turned out so cute and I know we’ll all be happy to get our own spaces back.

He LOVES mornings, bath time, changing his diaper, sleep sacks and his car seat. HATES tummy time and when he scratches his face. He’s a total morning person and loves to talk and smile. He’s got a flat(ish) head that we’re hoping some extra tummy time can help, but we’re going to see a specialist to make sure he doesn’t need additional therapy or even a little helmet.

Overall, he’s the sweetest boy and I loveeee kissing his little face and neck off.

Wells is Five Months

gah, baby boy you’re growing up quick.

I swear everything about him changes by the day. As we gear up for summer and all the camps, trips and the infinite kiddo juggle I really don’t want to miss a thing.

  • He’s babbling up a storm
  • Good at mimicking us – sticks his tongue out, blows raspberries and copies whatever we do
  • Can hold his bottle and put his paci in his mouth
  • Loves to be spooked! A sure way to get a giggle or two
  • Very much into watching his older brothers
  • Has figured out we have a dog
  • Has tried banana and sweet potato and really not sure about either of them
  • Still teething and drooling like whoa
  • Comfortably wearing 6-9 mo clothes
  • Likes to play with anything that makes sounds
  • Into walks and car rides
  • A champ at tummy time and can roll over from front to back
  • Getting blonder and more hazel eyed by the day
  • Has this one leg that likes to rock/bounce – almost as if it was his “happy tail”
  • Loves his dada something BIG
  • Genuinely wants to be in/around the action

Wellsey,

I could just stare at you for hours. Your face is so sweet and your smiles and smirks are literally the best. Your rolls are really starting to take shape and I on occasion call you endearingly my “chunky monkey!” When you stretch and flex your feet right before a diaper change gets me every single time. Even though you’re still not the best sleeper around here, you are mostly happy and cheerful and I love your sweet personality. Soon enough you’ll be eating tons of big boy foods, crawling around and pulling yourself up. I see you sneaking into any brotherly situation and having a complete ball. I’m excited for many more firsts this summer – trips to the beach, first plane ride and other exciting milestones. Know I love you SO much and can’t imagine this world without you.

Palmer – 23 Months

I mean, he’s practically 2. He’s every bit of crazy and wild and rambunctiuos. When he’s happy he’s like REALLY happy. When he’s tired and cranky he’s REALLY cranky. He’s found new independence with being to get in and out of his crib quite successfully. He’s napped a few times in his rocking chair, because well… he can.

  • Big fan of coloring and prefers to use his right hand
  • He’s a DIPPER – loves ketchup and will gladly dip anything into it
  • Obsessed with his Papa
  • Not a great listener and hates following the rules – certified boundary pusher
  • The sweetest demeanor and loves animals
  • Pretty sure he has a magnetic pull towards danger or risk
  • Total charmer – will never miss an opportunity to say “hiiiii!” to a stranger. Even if he’s in the backseat and there is motorcycle along side us.
  • Worships his big brother
  • Wears size 6 diapers but will pee through them at night
  • Has a favorite blankie with chewed corners
  • Likes to wear shoes and his helmet and will occasionally get upset when we go to take them off
  • Great at riding his bike and likes to sit on the big kid seat on the stroller
  • Wants to wear socks to bed
  • Ask him how old he is – 50% change he’ll either say 1 or 2
  • Ask him how old brother is – “brother is six.” #nailedit

Palmer James,

You have a way of pushing every button and still make me overflow with crazy love. You’re wildly different and I love your spirit. You make parenthood oh so challenging but I’m so grateful. I wanted you so badly and I wanted to give Hudson the greatest gift I had ever received before you boys were born – which is your Auntie Erin. Even though you test and push you also love right back even harder. I can’t get enough of you. I can’t wait to see how you change this next year – you’re going to be TWOOOO and I can’t believe it. Know how much I love you today and always.

Palmer James,

Here we go – the best time of year! The holidays are going to fly by, we’ll celebrate Hudson turning SIX and then we’ll book end our favorite months with you turning TWO. This year, although different, will be SO much fun with you. I already see you taking off every tree ornament, falling in love with all the twinkle lights and getting layered in Hudson’s old clothes as the temperature drops. You make everything exciting and new and fun again. Watching you and your brother literally fulfill my every dream and with all the crazy you add, you add pure magic. I love you, P.
