10 weeks tomorrow!
I can't believe how fast my little man is growing, and since he is my last, I am just trying to love every minute of it.
He had his two month check last week, he was almost 13 lbs and went up on all of his percentages. He got his first two vax's (oral Rota and DTaP shot), and he did better then I did LOL I nursed him though the shot and he only popped off to yell once and then went right back to eating. We have moved to cloth diapers full time because I found he was getting very rashy every time we used disposables, so I just threw in the towel and made the switch completely and taught DH how to change a cloth diaper so he can't say he does not know how to get out of changing him LOL
He is sleeping though the night (as long as he is tightly swaddled in the miracle blanket), nursing like a champ and is really a very pleasant baby. He is still very high needs during the day, he wants mommy (and usually only mommy) all the time, but will finally go in the sling so I can continue to do things for the older kids and around the house while I am wearing him and he will let me put him down for his long afternoon nap so I get some time to shower, clean and do that kind of stuff baby free.
I am really enjoying him, and as crazy as it sounds, I am kind of mourning the fact that he is, for sure, my last. I will get some new pics up soon, but my older son dropped my digital camera and broke the lens, so until I get a new one I have to rely on others to share their pics with me! It's annoying, but maybe Santa will bring me a NICE new one!

10 weeks goes my so quickly when you're snuggling a newborn! He sounds like he has a great personality already. Do the siblings all want to hold, feed and tickle him? I can relate to so much of what you're feeling. Enjoy every cuddly, needy moment! Everett rarely falls asleep on me anymore and is so busy wanting to see everything that he doesn't snuggle for very long either. He is also my last baby so I feel the twinges of sadness as he grows
Glad you are all adjusting and I hope Santa brings you a camera early!
Hugs,
