The Many Faces of Rushmore

Rushmore is two months old tomorrow. He is more than 12 lbs and about 23 inches long. I will have more precise stats after I take him for his 2 month check up, this is the best I could do with Eden holding him on the scale and a ruler. He has slept a 9 hr stretch at night for the last 5 nights (knock on wood) and hopefully he will continue because he is getting too big for his bassinet. We have been worried about him waking up Gideon at night so we haven't moved him to the crib yet. Maybe we'll try tonight. He is smiling more everyday. He loves being held, especially be Mom. He loves his pacifier which is a blessing and a curse. Matt says he cries alot which I suppose he does sometimes, but I think he is a fairly average baby when it comes to crankiness. He is not overwhelmingly happy or sad. He does spit up more than the other kids have, but nothing too bad. I love seeing the other kids with him. Larke shares her ducky, Eden sings to him and Gideon feeds him bottles of pumped milk and holds him when I need two hands. They are good helpers. We have some crazy days, with Larke potty training and Rush needing to nurse along with all the other stuff I have to do it can be hard to balance everything. My house is not very clean now a days and we often eat dinner at 7. Oh well we will find our groove again, right. Plus he's worth the chaos.
