Bowman is 2 months old!
We celebrate Bowman’s life! His second month highlights are:
- Being dedicated at church. We chose Isaiah 26: 3-4 for his dedication, “He will keep your mind in perfect peace as you trust in Him. Trust in the Lord, for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock Eternal.” We pray this for Bowman every day & are so grateful to dedicate him in a community that will raise him to know the fullness of life in Christ.
- āyí Esther visits for Thanksgiving. That’s Aunt Esther in Chinese. While we didn’t like that she had a hurt ankle, it did slow her down to get lots of love time with baby B.
- Growing boy! I’ll post the stats after his 2 month check-up next week, but he’s sporting a cute belly, rubberband wrists & his legs just keep getting longer! We think he’s at least 24 inches & on his way to 12 lbs by our home measurements. I never understood parents’ excitement with their kids’ growth, but it makes total sense now as I am his food source & like to see that it’s working! :)
- Sleeping in his crib. We made the move from the bassinet beside our bed to his crib around week 5. It’s probably only 10 more steps away, but it’s still an accomplishment! Now his room really feels like his room. He absolutely loves his gazing at his 2 mobiles (yes, we’re crazy & hung 2), mirror & bedding. He frequently tries out his whale-like language with the giraffes on his bumper.
- Laughing, smiles, gazes & vowel sounds. It may change some day, but Bowman loves to talk with us as he gets his diaper changed. He is fascinated with anyone who wants to talk with him. So sugary sweet.
- Mom & Dad learning lots. We bought a Miracle Blanket, sound machine & are working to perfect the perfect soothing hold. We now know to put Bowman down to sleep while he’s just drowsy. We even discovered socks that will stay on his feet. And of course, our days are pretty much eat, play, nap, repeat. We love taking care of our little man.
- Two more trips to Terra Tots, Bowman’s favorite store, and we’ve loved our bimonthly baby play dates with moms who had babies in september & october.
- And of course, meeting more of you! Here he is meeting his cousins Dalton & Madison. Thank you for loving our family.
