We've Made It Two Months!

I know I'm almost a week late, but I can't believe our little blessing is already T-W-O months old!  Maverick James is such a sweet little guy, and has grown so much physically and mentally the last month.  He is extremely alert these days and loves to just watch every move we make.  He is also finding his little voice and talks up a storm...it couldn't be because I sit and talk to him all day ;-)  He is very strong and when we hold him, he only lays his head down on our shoulders if he is sleepy.  He's also becoming a champ at pulling momma's hair!  He doesn't miss a meal, and makes us laugh with all of his gassy tendencies!  Mav is starting to play with his jungle gym toys, already has an appreciation for good music, and enjoys when we read to him.  He is the best baby that we seriously could have ever asked/prayed/wished for!  Can you tell we are smitten?!  Oh yeah, and did I mention he has started sleeping through the night?!  Perfect. Child,

Here are a few updated stats:

Weight: 14lbs 12oz (95th Percentile)
Height: 24.5" (95th Percentile)
Head Circumference: 16" (90th Percentile)
Favorite Toy: Infantino Gym
Favorite Song: "Home" by Phillip Phillips (we listen to it basically every night before bed)
Favorite Book: Thank You, God for Mommy by Amy Parker (he loves looking at the black and white pandas)

 



To Our Sweet Little Maverick:
If we have said it once, we have said it a million times: we don't know what we did to deserve a little blessing as amazing as you.  Over the last two months you have brought more joy to our lives than we ever thought was imaginable.  Your sweet little smile melts our hearts, and we can see God's love for us in your eyes. 

Life may not always be easy, and we may not always be best friends, but please know that our love for you will never end.  You will always be our baby.

Your favorite song right now is "Home" by Phillip Phillips.  Daddy plays it on his phone for you almost every night while we are putting you to sleep.  The words in the chorus are true today, and will remain that way forever.

     Settle down, it'll all be clear
     Don't pay no mind to the demons
     They fill you with fear
     The trouble it might drag you down
     If you get lost, you can always be found
     Just know you're not alone
     Cause I'm going to make this place your home

We love you, sweet baby.

Always & Forever,
Mom & Daddy
