Hughes House Happenings: Holton

Can it be? Holton is already two months old? Wow, how the time is flying by (although I will admit, sometimes it doesn't seem like it at 3AM!).

Things I want to remember about Holton at 2 months of age:

-As my mom says, he really is a "whatever" baby... he is pretty much content in most circumstances and is easily comforted when he does cry.

-He is just beginning to smile and does so with a big gummy open-mouthed grin

-He is starting to make vocalizations (other than crying!), and especially loves to chit chat while lying on his changing table

-Like his big sister, he loves the side-to-side swing

-He can stick his tongue out much farther than Addy ever did

-His eyes are bright blue (will they change???)

-He is sleeping anywhere from 3 hours (on a not so good night) to a record 7 hours (on our best night so far) at night right now. Sometimes during the day, he is ravenous and wants to eat all the time! I think he may be going through another growth spurt!

-He loves the "butt pat" - to soothe him

-He still loves to cuddle. Having him curled up on my chest asleep is just the best feeling in the world.

-He smiles and makes the cutest faces in his sleep. Sometimes I feel like I am having a flashback to Adelyn - I recognize the same faces in Holton

-He has an uncanny ability to sense when I am about to sit down for a meal and let's me know right away that he wants to eat first.

-He has the most wonderful clean baby smell!

I initially tried to take Holton's 2 month pictures with Adelyn in the room... She was in every picture, so I had to postpone until her naptime. However, I thought this one was too cute. She loves her baby brother and is so sweet with him. Whenever he's lying on the floor, she wants to lie down with him.
