Emmett Joseph at 2 months

Sweet Baby Boy, you’re changing BY THE DAY. I'd bottle up your smiles and noises if I could.

·         You love baths—it’s basically a requirement for Clark children to enjoy water, soooo we’re glad you’re complying!

·         Daddy has been trying to figure out your nickname. He’s trying a couple out to see what sticks. (It actually bothers him that it’s taken this long to come up with a nickname, buuut in his defense, he thought you were going to be a girl!)

·         When you scrunch your forehead and furrow your brows, you look just like Daddy. Other than that, you have your own look. And I love it.

·         You will take a paci, but you’re certainly not addicted to it like your big brother was.

·         Emmett, you caught your 1^st cold (from Oliver) a few weeks ago. Fortunately, it was only a few days of snot and you were back to your happy self.

·         Speaking of Oliver, he decided he loves you! He puts little trucks by you and says “Show Baby Emmett play trucks”. He also surrounds you with balls and says “Play ball, Baby Emmett”. I hope you become best friends.

·         You’re smiling (for real now) and I cannot get enough! I routinely make goofy faces and absurd noises to encourage the smiles :)

·         98% of the time, you’re super chill and we could almost forget you’re here.

·         Around 5 weeks old, Daddy and I had had enough of your “sleeping noises” and decided to put you in your room. We’re all 3 sleeping better now and you’re down to 1 middle-of-the-night feed!

·         You currently have the look of a mini sumo wrestler. Chubby legs, a big belly, dark hair and lots of rolls…

·         We finally got to take you for your 1^st walk outside! You slept right through it and I expected nothing less!

·         You’re wearing size 1 diapers until we finish the current box, but size 2’s are right around the corner! I had to pack away some 3 month onesies already (which *never* happened at this point with your siblings!)

·         On your 2 month birthday, you weighed a whopping 12 pounds & 14 ounces, which put you at the 64^th percentile! At 2 months, you *already* weigh more than your siblings did at FOUR months.  You’re 23.5 inches long, which is the 73^rd percentile. And as expected, your head is large—90^th percentile. You, Emmett, are my first big baby and it’s been so neat to see you grow at your own pace (and at a much different pace than your big brother and big sister)

We love love love your squishy, happy self. 

Love always,

 Mama
