Happy 2 Month Birthday, Sweet Boy!!!

Today is Gunnar's Two Month Birthday. Well, that's not technically accurate...he was born on October 28th, so realistically, December 28th would be his actual "birthday", but today is the 8th Wednesday since he was born (confusing, huh? The weeks don't actually line up with the months). Anyway....we're calling it 2 months. I cannot even BEGIN to describe how much I have grown to love this little guy over the last couple of months. It's funny, because although I've loved him since Day 1, I'm not sure I've truly ENJOYED him since Day 1. The first two to three weeks were such a blur, and were so much harder than I envisioned, that I can honestly say I really didn't enjoy them all that much. I know that sounds kind of bad...but it's just true. Quite a few times during those first several weeks, I wondered what in the world we'd been thinking when we decided we wanted to have a baby, and I felt pretty sure that one kiddo was all this household would be producing. HOWEVER....somewhere around Week 4, everything suddenly switched, and I suddenly realized that not only did I love Gunnar more than I thought was humanly possible, but I was also loving every second of hanging out with him, and that there was no where I would rather be during the day, than with him. In fact, here I am today, on his 2 month birthday, with the house all to myself (because Nason took Gunnar on a "man date"), and about five minutes after Gunnar was gone, I realized that I missed him being here, and really would just rather that he come back!! Anyway.....I'm going to do a "Top 5" each month for Gunnar's birthday...this month, the Top 5 will be The Top Five Things I Love the Most About Gunnar So Far:

1) His Shark Face- this is the face he makes when either his pacifier, his bottle, or his primary milk supply-me- is in his face. He scrunches his nose, opens his mouth as wide as it can possibly go, and then shakes his head back and forth viciously, like a shark that is tearing apart it's prey. It's scary and endearing all at the same time.

2) The way that every single time we lift his legs up, a fart comes out

3) His little baby mullet

4) His SMILE. Oh my gosh....I don't think anything could melt a heart more.

5) When he wakes me up in the middle of the night to eat, and I grab him out of his pack and play, and he instantly cuddles up to me, and kind of burrows up against my chest.
