M(om): Hey Gideon! You are 2 months old already. Time is going to fast!

G(ideon):  Really, mom? I had know idea. Life has been pretty great.

M: Well, you have been a pretty great, baby Gideon. I am so thankful for you. What have you been up to this last month?
G: Well, I think I have been growing a lot.  You or Dad seem to tell me that just about every day. And Joash keeps saying that my ears are getting bigger.

M: You certainly are growing. Some of your 3 month clothing is almost too small already. Have you learned to do anything this new this month?

G: I am starting to smile and coo, which I have found out that you and dad really like it when I do that. And I like to look at my brother and sister and some of the toys that are hanging on the activity mat.

M: We do love to see that smile. What else happened this month?
G: I got to meet my grandpa and grandma from Michigan. And I was baptized. There was  a lot to see in church.

M: We enjoyed seeing how you were just looking around at everything and being so calm through it all. How are eating a sleeping going?

G: I love to eat. I could eat all day. Can I do that someday, mom?

M: No, because you also like to sleep, right?

G: Yes, I do like to sleep. I like my naps and will almost always fall asleep if someone is holding me, especially if I am swaddled. And I like to sleep at night, but I hope you don't mind that I check just once to make sure you aren't too far away. mom.

M: I don't mind one bit. Now if we could only get your sister to sleep that well at night...
