2 months and GROWING!

Bodhi is now 2 months old! I can't believe how quickly the past two months has gone and when I look at pictures from his birth, I can't believe how completely different he is! These little people are shockingly amazing. Today we had his 2 month doctor's appointment - his first visit with his new doctor. The doctor is fantastic - thank goodness - and Bodhi was in great spirits through the whole visit. And then it was time for his first immunizations..bom bom bom... I nursed him through both shots and he did a GREAT job - he's a brave brave boy. He didn't flinch at the first one and only had a small squawk at the second. I think the shots were much harder on me than they were on him. I was a little shaky as we left and he was all smiles in the stroller and then fell asleep!

After we got home he got really dopey so we just cuddled and nursed on the couch for the rest of the day - letting him call the shots - and what does Bodhi like to do best? Eat, sleep and cuddle! So that's what we did. No complaints here!

Another two month milestone is that Bodhi is holding his head up quite a lot now. He's not fully there yet, but when he sits up on my lap he can hold his head up for long periods of time. The best milestone to date, though, is that Bodhi is sleeping really well through the night EVERY night. At least five hours at a time and the past two nights he's slept seven hours straight! It's great for me because I'm feeling really rested and am able to get some of my own things done when Bodhi's napping - and by my own things I mean reading magazines, playing Nintendo DS and checking Facebook - don't tell Dan!

Today at the doctor's office, the doctor asked a lot of questions about me, my pregnancy, and, of course, Bodhi. The question that stuck the most with me was "How are you enjoying motherhood?" - I thought a lot about this on the way home. I don't know if I've even really stopped to think about how I'm enjoying it while I've been living it. Bodhi has become such a special part of my life, he's a total extension of myself. He's not only my son, but my sweet little companion and most of all he's been a wonderful teacher. I am so full of love. Saying that I'm enjoying motherhood just doesn't seem to give it enough justice - it's so much more than that. It's my life and it's fantastic!
