Where does the time go!!! Cant believe you are two months old!! You are getting to be so much fun. Smiling and cooing and talking to us. Its fun to see you grow and see how much you change each day.
--We had your 2 month appointment today and you are quite the lil chunk!- You weighed 13 lbs 6 oz(with your diaper on, usually they take it off so it may be a little more than what you are), you were 23.25 inches long as well.
--Still sleeping in your crib at night. We try to put you down and then if you wake up only pat your back/butt to get you back to sleep if you wake up..vs rocking you back to sleep every time. You usually sleep about 4-4.5 hours the first time and then wake every 3 hours wanting to eat again. You usually would sometimes not want to go back to sleep in your crib and wed have to bring you downstairs and put you in your swing to go back to sleep until morning(usually around 330am or so)
--Last night(night before turning 2 months) you slept for 5 hours and then made it 4 hours before needing to eat again! Hope that lasts!
--We typically put you down around 8 pm in your crib with your sleep sack after having a bottle and play your music player. You like to sleep on your side and we've even found you on your stomach a few times when weve gone in there. EEK! You are quite the mover! I think youd like to sleep on your stomach if wed let you.
--Eating more bottles now and then I pump. You seem to stay fuller for longer and dont need to snack as often. You typically eat every three hours and eat around 4 ounces...lately you sometimes need 5 though. When you are hungry you scream and scream and it gets louder and louder until you get fed. haha
--Smiling and cooing and talking alot. You are def happiest first thing in the morning (bt 7 and 8 am) after you are changed and fed you are so happy. Def the best part of the day with you!
--You prefer to lean your head to the left (looking to the left more) we are trying to work with you on this so you look the other way more too. We have switched which way we feed you and place you in the crib. Hopefully we can correct this so you don't have problems going down the road.
--Your hair is looking more red and is def wavy. In the humidity it def gets wavy..you prob will have your moms curls! Everyone comments on your crazy/cute hair!
--Still wearing a size one diaper but they are def getting snug. We will be going up to size two in the next couple of days once we finish up the box were on. Well have to take a box back and get a diff size for our little chunk! You have less dirty/poopy diapers..now its usually only one per day and sometimes it will be a couple days and then it will be a huge blowout..usually getting on your clothes too.
--Still love bath time..you like to kick and splash even after were all done. Its a great way to calm you at night.
--Wearing 3 month- 0-3 month clothes...trying to get through all of them at least one time before you go up to the next size. You have so many clothes in this size!
--Love the swing and to look up at the birds. Love your play mat and bat at the toys and coo. You love to stare at them and sometimes look cross eyed..trying to focus on them..Still not a huge fan of the bouncer but Ive gotten you to stay in there a couple of times if I sit and bounce it for you.
--Liking the pacifier a little more but it still falls out a lot. You sometimes try and stick your entire fist in your mouth too to suck..not sure if you actually know what you are doing though.
--Diaper and clothes changing is a lot more pleasant now you dont scream but still move and kick around so sometimes its hard haha
--Not a fan of book reading still
--Love music and being rocked and sung to
--Don't care to sit and be held..like to move around and be walked around facing out
--Like walks for the most part but sometimes you get fussy towards the end
--Stays awake in car seat more now on little trips in the car. Crying when we stop at lights a lot.
--Had first overnight trip to visit Matt and Jodie and cousins up in the cities and did great
--You are awake a lot more during the day..sometimes you'll take a longer 1-2hour nap in the morning and then you'll cat nap sleeping for 20-30mins a lot and then you'll wake up. Sometimes I think this makes you overtired in the late afternoons.
I have three more weeks with you at home and then you'll be home with dad for a couple weeks and then to daycare after that. I am sad I will not be home with you but I know daycare and being around other kids will be good for you and will prob get you more into a schedule too. I will def miss you while I am at work and I have loved every minute home with you!!
