Two months!!!

 
Dear Joshua,
 
Happy two months sweet baby!!!
 
I think mommy and daddy have finally figured you out!!  And when you're happy we are all happy!  We now know what each of your cries mean.  We can now tell if you're too tired, hungry or just simply want a new diaper!  We also now know your favorite way to be held or when you are just tired of being held and want to lay on the floor and just look at your goofy big brother!  You have added just pure joy to our home!  Your beautiful smile is enough to melt our heart!!!  Mommy and daddy were scared that we wouldn't be able to love you as much as we love Nathan (if we are being honest)!  We thought it would be impossible for our heart to have enough room to love the both of you fully!  But you know what the amazing thing is our heart did not have enough room to love you both so God made it possible for our heart to grow and love each of you fully!
 
At your 2 month check up you showed Dr. Ramsey that you have the Finch charm!  You gave him your cutest smile and even talked to him while he listened to your heart!  I think you're his favorite patient right now!  You started out SO big that it surprised us all!  Now, you are smaller than your brother Nathan when he was two months old! You are in the 10 percentile with your weight at 10 pounds and 7 ounces!  You had a really nasty cold that you caught from Nathan!  You had a terrible cough that would get you all choked up and make it hard for you to breathe!  It really scared us, but Dr. Ramsey said that you were fine but it would take you a while to get rid of it.  You decided that it would only be fair for you to pass it on, so mommy and daddy got sick too!  We are all feeling much better now!
 
Today for the first time you got to hear your daddy preach!  He did a great job and even had a shout out to you for turning two months old!  Two things happened over the last month that mommy and daddy were really hoping for:  The first one was you learning to roll over!  You did it like a pro, even Nathan was impressed!!  The second one was for Nathan to give you a chance: Nathan really loves you!  He loves to bring you your blanket, he tries to put your paci in your mouth for you!  He gives you hugs and kisses and loves to tell you "night night" before he goes to bed!  He has even held you for a few seconds but he gets nervous when you cry!  You each have a special thing you add to our home!  Praying God gives us many years and memories together!!!
 
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
