the second month

I feel like I'm getting the hang of this baby thing a little more now that Oliver is two months.  He's more predictable and eats better... some of the hard/annoying things in the beginning work themselves out.  One of my goals, or hopes with Oliver was to really just enjoy each stage.  Partly because I didn't do very good at that with Creighton and his first two years are kind of a blur, and partly because Oliver is likely our last kid.  I'm thankful to say that I really have been enjoying him as a baby.  Yes, there are moments I get frustrated at his crying or feel like I'm not parenting the older boys well when Oliver demands my attention, but I'm trying to be more intentional about soaking in the sweetness of having a baby.

+ will give smiles and coo's, mostly in the morning after he's eaten
+ starting to only wake up at 4/4:30 at night to eat, after eating somewhere between 8-9p for his last feeding of the day
+ still doesn't want to just sit in a swing or bouncy seat while he's awake.  he might give me a happy 5 minutes in his seat, then he's crying for some attention.  needless to say, I hold him a lot while he's awake.
+ starting to like his bath a little, or at least not always cry during it :)
+ still not a fan of his carseat, but he is starting to cry a little less
+ sometimes gets called "boob" by Creighton, who I believe randomly made up the nickname, not realizing how appropriate it is!  😂

getting some of our first smiles!

love how babies tuck their legs when they sleep.  also loving the blue color that we painted the crib.

Ollie gets all the attention. 💕

That side profile... those cheeks and chin :). It's one of the things about him that reminds me most of the other boys... or maybe just Beckham

Creighton loves on Oliver while Beckham is in school... he's constantly kissing him and telling him how cute he is and how much he loves him!
