Arlo- 2 months
This sweet babe is already 2 months! This month I can’t believe how much he has grown and how his face is looking so serious and so grown up!
He continues to love being held and he takes a lot of contact naps with mom. I finished watching Monk, White Collar, and A Man on the Inside. TV continues to keep me sane while nursing and working on those naps!
Arlo likes napping in the car, playing patient for the big kids to doctor on, his sound machine while sleeping, being swaddled at night, and his little alligator weighted animal. He met Grandpa Larry, met Zaydin, went to Lloyd’s pumpkin patch, and joined our beach gang Halloween costume as a shark.
Paisley changed a p*e diaper and got him out of his car seat once or twice when she’s feeling extra big sis energy. She also started catching the morning bus, which buys us a bit of time and calmness in the mornings. She loves picking out Arlo’s clothes.
Sterling sweetly calls him “my brother” and “my baby” and often says “I love him. He loves me.” He is a proud big boy and reminds us that he is a big boy many times per day.
Sterling loves to say “I do it myself” and “you play with me?” being a big brother has brought out his independent and dependent streaks. He also likes for us to feed him again- a regression that takes me back about 18 months! Ahhhh, kids!
Month two was another snuggly one. We are all a bit tired but looking forward to another month with our big crew.
