Dear Caroline:

Today you are two months old. I meant to sit down and write a little something after you were born and when you were a month old, but, quite honestly, baby girl, you wore me out and I could barely string together enough coherent thoughts to get through the day.

Either you've gotten easier, though, or your dad and I have figured you out. We can now set you down long enough to shower or eat or do a load of dishes or laundry and you will kick or coo contentedly. And you sleep! Kind of. When you feel like it. But it's still better than the waking up ever hour stuff you were pulling before.

You make the best noises - cooing, squealing, squeaking and something that sounds an awful lot like a giggle. You smile, too, this great big gummy grin that never fails to make your dad and I laugh like idiots and try to get you to do it again.

I went back to work today, which was hard, much harder than I thought it would be. But you and your dad hung out and I know you guys will be great together once you get a rhythm and a routine figured out.

You are so loved, baby girl.

Two Months Old!

Baby knitwear fail

I knit this bonnet for Caroline before she made her arrival. Unfortunately, once I put it on her, she bears a scary resemblance to an X-Men character.

Cutie

My quest to capture her gummy grin continues; I seem to get her just before or just after a smile.

Woolie Pants

We're making the switch to cloth diapering, at least part time, and another knitting, cloth-diapering mom I know suggested wool soakers as part of our routine.

I have no idea whether they'll do all the things she promised, but this one was fun to knit and is hilariously cute.

Cleaning out the Closet

Caroline is helping me clean out my closet today and, judging by her expression, she doesn't think all the sweaters are going to fit on that shelf.
