8 weeks old

Dear Tater Tot,

You are 8 weeks old and I can't figure out where the time went.  We had our two month appointment with your pediatrician this week and you are now 9 lbs 13 oz and 22 inches long!  What? For a preemie, you are now in the 90th percentile.... you continue to prove that you are a champion!  

You lost a lot of your dark hair in the first couple of weeks you were born, but you are growing new hair, which seems much lighter, even redish, we can't wait to see what color it will be and what your eyes will settle at.  Right now your eyes look hazel.  

We really couldn't be happier with you.  You are very funny when you eat.... you are a very vocal guy and you hum when you eat.  It makes me giggle every time.  You also hum and seem to babble in your sleep... We sing to you all the time, so we assume you are just singing with us.  

We love you so much little guy and we can't wait to see how the next month goes!

love, 

Mommy
