The Race Car: 2 Months and Counting

I took the little Race Car to the pediatrician today for his follow-up visit. As the doctor was asking her initial, "How's he doing?" I heard myself saying, "He's actually the easiest thing I have going on right now." When your newborn is the easiest thing in your life, either your life is really bad or you have an amazing baby. While life has been really stressful the past few months, he really is just that good of a baby!

He tolerates the big kids' intensity and excitement like a pro. He practically puts himself to sleep and doesn't bat an eye when I interrupt his nap to go somewhere. I know life with this Race Car won't always be such a breeze, but I am really thankful for the great time we're having right now.
