Wow! Where has two months gone?Warner, you're not aloud to get any bigger! I just want to freeze you in this squishy, cuddly, sweet, innocent new born phase forever.
Allow me to jot down some things I love about baby Warner before it leaves my memory and runs off to the great abyss of my brain forever:
*I love his cry (except for when it's a "I'm in pain cry" then it makes me cry too). Its the most pathetic little cry I've ever heard and that's why I love it. He almost sounds apologetic to be crying and to be bothering anyone.
*I love how he can entertain himself for hours. Maybe this is just part of being the second, and more neglected child, but I think he really likes his time to himself. He lays on his back in his crib and smiles at his teddy bear mobile above his head, or stares at his trains on his bumper, and happily lies there, awake, and peaceful while I attend to Liv.
*He loves to watch Olivia play. And when she's not hurting him I think she is his most favorite person in the world, besides when he's hungry, then I'm his most favorite person in the world.
*I love how he stares at his hands like they are some kind of wonder to him. (I don't think he's quite figured out that they are attached to his body yet).
*I love how he sucks on his hands any time they pass by his mouth.
*I love his little, sweet eyes, and his soft skin.
*I love to watch him and Jaron stare at each other, because they look like twins to me. Just one is a small Jaron, and one is a big Jaron.
*I love how cuddly he is, and how when I hold him it just feels like he's melting into me.
*And my number one favorite thing about Warner is (drum roll please) his sweet and adoring personality. I feel so much love from this little baby. All it takes is one look in his direction to get him to smile.
At the end of the day when Olivia goes to sleep and I have a moment to hold my baby, I sneak off to my room and talk and sing him. It feels so therapeutic as he smiles up at me, his eyes never blinking, never shifting, never losing sight of my face. As I hold him there, his sweet eyes and soft, smiley coos melt away all of my busy thoughts of the day and it feels like for a moment time stands still. So soft. So quiet. So peaceful is my little boy.

What a lovely post, Jess. You captured the beauty of having a newborn so perfectly. I couldn't have described what it feels like better myself. You'll be so glad you captured these words, because as you know, these memories are quickly fleeting. I feel like I'm already loosing the vividness of these feelings and Finley is only 7 months old.
So sweet! Please, please don't let him get any bigger. I have to meet him first!
Those are my feelings exactly!! It's good to remember and treasure these moments while you can!
thanks for sharing your lovely memories with us. i love warner's hair in those pictures--he looks so big!
Wow! Two months have gone by quickly. He looks like such a little man with his hair parted like that. Love your thoughts at the end. There really is nothing sweeter than holding a baby in silence.
2 months! so fast! he looks like such a littl man to me- adorable!
I can not believe two months has flown by so fast! dang! You is such a cute little bugger =o)
He definetly got the nice Hoopes hair. He is so cute and looks so much like Jaron!
Jess, these pictures are SO darling. He looks so darling. And it's so fun to see him in person. He's even cuter seeing him in action.
He's so adorable Jess! I wish I could see him in person! I bet he's a good snuggler :)
