Toby - Month 2 & 3

I'm shameful! I completely forgot Toby's 2 month update, and then I forgot to post this last night for his 3 month update! Bad mommy blogger = me

Over the last two months, our little T man has sure done some growing! He's an eating/pooping champ, one thing our other three kids always struggled with. I know it's weird to weigh so much happiness into a baby's bowel movements, but trust me when I say: if you ever have a kid that struggles with the function, you'll be grateful for one that doesn't have any issues! 

Somewhere in the last two weeks Toby finally figured out this whole "sleeping at night" thing -- he's up to four and five hour stretches which feels like sleeping through the night! I feel a little guilty in admitting the boy only will sleep in his carseat, but hey! It's better than no sleep at all! He'll figure out the whole "sleeping in his crib" thing eventually...I hope. 

I'm very happy to admit that Tobster is, without a doubt, the easiest baby EVER. He is nothing but chill, never demanding, never fussy -- he just sort of quietly exists in our chaotic lives. I always thought RJ was a good baby, but Toby makes her look a tornado (which she is now, quite the opposite of her first months of life...which makes me a little nervous about how T will turn out!) I mean, I can't even begin to explain how laid-back this kid is. He's the best! 

Here lately Toby has been gracing us with sweet little smiles and the softest little sounds, like a baby bird! He melts me, this kid! He's also still a big hit with his sisters and especially his brother -- I remember being so nervous that Jaxon would not take well to a new sibling. Jax is such a momma's boy, I just knew he'd be jealous and take out all his aggression on the new baby. 

I'm ridiculously happy to be proven wrong! Jaxon LOVES Toby, probably more so than anyone else. He always wants to kiss him and love on him -- there are times when Jax gets a little too rough or a little too mischievous (he's tried to dump Toby out of his bouncy chair a time or two!) but I think it's always in good fun. Jaxon is more than ready for Toby to be big enough to play around with -- all in good time, little buddy!

I'm still in amazement, almost daily, that our little Toby ended up being a boy. It feels right, like that's what it was meant to be all along -- two girls, two boys. Four little pieces of me and Justin walking through this life. I just can't wait to see them grow together, and our little Toadstool is the final puzzle piece to our crazy family. He's got me wrapped, for sure!
