9 weeks for Sterling

Two... Ha Ha Ha

Can you believe 2 months have  passed. I cried on your 8 week birthday when I posted it to Facebook. For so long it was just  you and me. We had this special bond between us. Now you have  so many people who love you. I cannot imagine my life without you and your sisters love you so much. Right now as we speak they are playing around you as you lay on the floor on your mat.

Did you check out the 1 month milestone??

At two months Sterling…

Has started to like tummy time and his play mat. He found that he likes the TV.

This is you watching Disney Channel and trying to keep Soother in your mouth

And Smiles a-lot!!

Has found his voice — cooing, aaahing and squealing all the time. I am just waiting for him to start giggling non stop. It is on the tip of his tongue I know it.

Yes he has said his first word…it was clear as day when it  happened. Like some alien voice out of nowhere came “Hi”. It was nothing like I expected him to sound like. We now say Hi and Hello on a regular basis. Of course it  comes out more  like “Ello” so he is using his British accent.

New loves:

• Long Talks with Mommy and Daddy
• His chirping birds singing on his bouncy seat
• Being naked
• His Soother (pacifier)
• Kicking his feet
• His playmat
• Stretching
• Jogs in the BOB
• Fresh air

New hates…

• Having a poopy diaper (or wet it doesn't matter)
• Hats -- still
• Tummy Time
• Broccoli ... makes milk gassy
• Cold Toessies ... per Daddy

Nicknames: Butterball, Little Man, Buddy, Monkey, Stinky Face, and Doodle Bear.

A New Perspective

Dear Doodlebugs,

I know this is how you usually see me. Sterling, you laugh at me all the time. Do not expect me to put the  camera away forever but I will put it down more. I just  love  taking pictures of you all so that we can capture our memories. People already joke that Sterling can pose for the camera with a smile and  open eyes. Julia and Hope are masters of the stop turn "Cheese Smile" and go about your business. I am so proud that you all learned at an early age that Mommy wants pictures of her  babies. If  you smile and give me what you want then I will give you what you want.

So here is my promise to you .... I will be more present in your lives this way.
