How does this happen so fast? Truett is almost 12 weeks old. It's hard to believe that much time has passed. Though some times I feel like he's always been a part of our lives. I can't imagine life without him now?! What did we used to do all day?
Truett is growing so much. He weighed almost 13 pounds at his 2 month well visit! He is really holding his head up while holding him, and while laying on his tummy too. It's so funny, he gets very serious while trying to balance his head with arms stiffed out and legs squarely in line. It's adorable! He is really cooing, gurggling, and "singing." He smiles SO big (especially when we greet him after he wakes up). He is reaching for things and laughing at his toys. He is actually majorly teething right now! The doctor said he has two top and two bottom teeth coming in. This early? My mother said that I was an early teether. O well, I guess let's just get this over with, right? He's not taking it too terribly (yet?!).
He is the love of my life. I am enjoying my call to raise this little boy. I'm taking advice by really just enjoying the time I have with him right now. I'm not in a hurry to get busy, I'm just enjoying having a new baby! Because before I know it, he's going to want to get down and play.
Just a few of the names I call Truett: Butter Bean, Pumpkin Pie, Sugar Beet, Buster Brown, Love Bug, Buddy Boy, and Momma's Baby. Artie calls Truett: BOY (it's so cute!). My mother (or Ma-Dea) calls Truett: Mister Buster (she says it in this little voice she uses, it's so funny, Truett lights up when she calls him). My sister Charlotte calls Truett: Twooit (like Elmer Fud..."We're hunting wabbits"). My niece calls him: Baby Truett. My Dad calls him: T.Lee (for his middle name). And some of the kids at church call him: Tru Dog. Needless to say, he's got a few nicknames.
He enjoys rocking, singing, taking a bath, music, going on walks, swinging, being outside, his paci, and being with Mommy and Daddy (and others that love him). We stay pretty busy. It's amazing how fast the day goes. Before I know it, it's almost time for Artie to come home and to get dinner going.
We going on our family vacation this summer to North Carolina. Can't wait! There's a ton of us going. We're staying in my mom's cottage and then will visit Artie's mom too. I'm looking forward to being outside without this horrible heat, getting fresh air, and just enjoying the blissful beauty of outdoor NC. We'll have lots to post about when we return.
