Dear Channing,
Another month under your belt! Good work, little fella! This month was a
lot like last month, only with a lot more crying in the daytime. Phew!
You are giving me a run for my money. It’s that infant fussy stage that
is the culprit, I’ll bet.
I’m finding out about patience and staying calm. You do seem to like to sleep in your pack n play in the dark room during the day; you like to sleep every 1.30 hours of wakefulness. If I miss this window, you tend to stay awake and yell. You can be a terror to get down for naps and just want to keep taking everything in.

On the happy side of things, you have been falling asleep by 8:00pm, and
you don’t wake up until your next meal at around 12:00am or so. And then
you sleep another 3-4 hrs, ready to eat again. This is
wonderful!! Thanks for that. It’s in your best interest to cry during the day
if you are going to be fussy at all.
In case you are wondering later, you seem to have a very sweet
disposition overall. When you aren’t fighting sleep, you are so
serene and soft. You peer around at everything and seem to just take it
all in. You like to mimic the noises and faces we make at you. You’ll top it off with a
little grin.
I’m so excited to get to know you more and more each day, each one part of a greater gift that reveals itself slowly over time. You’ll never be two months old again. For that I am sad. But I get to witness and share in the very sweetest of your years. How great is that? I thank God every single day for the treasure that is you and the time we have ahead together. How do you suppose that of all the little boys in the universe I got the best one?
Love,
Moma
You just make me wanna cry reading your message to him.(tear) but I must say, out of all the moms in this world he was fortunate and God gave one of the best women I know. I'll teach him all about you later ;) love you guys!!
ReplyDeleteYou make me wanna cry reading your message to him. So sweet (tear) however, I must say that out of all the mommies in this world, he lucked out and was blessed with one of the beat women I know. I'll teach him all about you later ;) love you guys!
ReplyDeleteWow! The stages your little angel is going through is so natural yet so magical. I like that you're documenting this. Years from now, you would be looking back at this with your toddler and I'm sure that's going to give you lots of joy. Also, I like that you're bringing him for checkups regularly. As little Channing is growing inches and gaining pounds day by day, it's best that he is monitored to ensure that he's growing the way he should. Great job, Chantelle!
