You had a very exciting first two months of life. You got to take your first trip to the cabin with the Farmer's and LOVED being by the water and going for walks outside. You are a very passionate individual, you have no problem voicing your opinion around the house. When you're happy you're very, very happy, and when you're mad... the whole world knows it. You love being talked to and you are having so much fun getting to know his big brother.
