Two Months Old

Rowen is two months old today! I can't believe how quickly time is going by. I am so incredibly lucky and blessed to have such a wonderful baby boy. He has changed my life dramatically, for the better of course. Being a Mommy is all I have dreamed of and even more.

Now, not every moment of these past two months has been joy-filled. There have been several times when I get frustrated and feel like I can't keep up with all of his demands. Sometimes it feels like he's crying for no reason, or at least no reason that I can figure out. Waking up several times a night is exhausting. Getting spit up constantly creates laundry that I don't really have time to do. Showers are but a distant memory... But then he smiles at me and melts my heart. Or he coos at me and brings happy tears to my eyes. Little things like that truly make every stressful moment worthwhile. Little things like that remind me that I have the best job in the entire world: being a mom.

I'm thankful that I'm able to stay home with my bug every day. I cherish every day with him and enjoy watching him grow and change. I know that he will grow up all too quickly and I don't want to miss a thing. I'm excited for him to reach major milestones such as laughing and sitting up on his own; rolling over and crawling; walking and talking. But for now, I'll enjoy the quick little smiles and innocent, gentle coos of my amazing baby boy.
