I cannot believe that my baby is already 2 months. It seems like just yesterday he was born, yet time has flown by so fast. It hits me everyday how he won't be this little very much longer...I wish time would stay still so we could live in these moments as long as we wanted to. He is so precious and curious of the world he lives in. He talks a lot and sometimes we actually have conversations. I hear talking to them at an early age and trying to get them to imitate your noises is a good exercise.

It was hard going back to work full-time. I cried the week before knowing I would be leaving him everyday for at least 8 hours. This Monday I knew that he knew I had to leave him again. He is so happy every morning, but when it is time for me to tell him good-bye he gets real quiet and gives me a funny look. Then when I finally get home to him you can tell he has been missing me. If he is awake there are signs he wants to be in my arms. He'll flail his arms as he moves his body up and down as if to let me know to pick him up. It is the cutest ever. Or he'll smile real big when he hears my voice. It makes me happy in the moment, but it breaks my heart that I leave him feeling like that. I hope in some small fraction he knows that I don't want to leave and that it is just routine, but that I always go back. I would hate to leave him if he thought I was never coming back....so I'll try not to think about that.

On a another note, Thanksgiving is coming up and I am SO ready for the yummy food. I have to find a cute outfit for Jack to wear. I also need to start buying jackets, winter hats and gloves. So excited for my brother and cousin to finally meet him!! I think I might cry when I see their reactions. Especially my brothers.

Well, today is a good day and I am blessed!
