When Derek and I decided to have another baby, we knew it would be challenging in the beginning (and in the middle, and in the end).  Having one child isn't easy, and having two children even less so, especially when they arrive less than two years apart.  But, we knew we wanted Davis to have a sibling and specifically one close in age to grow up and hopefully be great friends with.

John Reece has been such a precious addition to our family, and now I barely remember what it was like only having one child.  A few days ago he started to really make eye contact and is now smiling and cooing all the time.  Something has surely clicked recently and I feel like our family is getting into a groove and really feels complete.

I took Reece to his two-month checkup this morning, and the doctor said he looks wonderful.  He weighs over thirteen pounds (90th percentile); his length is in the 75th percentile, and his head size is in the 95th percentile.  He's doing great, sleeping well, and bringing lots of joy to our little family.

What a great smile!

Davis is a sweeter big brother than I could have ever imagined.
But of course, Reece can't play with his toys yet...
