2 Months Old

It really is true - time flies! He is already 2 months old and growing like a champ.  He is more alert than ever and has the cutest little smiles.  I love playing with him and watching him learn and develop more and more each day. 

2 Month Stats:
- 7.14 lbs (however, my scale says 8.2lbs :)
- 21.5 inches
- 38.5cm head circumference

- Still eating every 2-3 hours during the day.
- Already sleeping through the night, about 4-5 hours if not more.  He sleeps from 8-11pm after his bath, and then has a late night feeding at 11.  After that he goes down fairly easy and will sleep until 4am.
- No more preemie clothes!  It was bittersweet - I had to put away his first box of clothes.  I am so happy that he is growing and very healthy; however, his little preemie clothes were so sweet and tiny.
- People still think he is so small, but I think he is huge now compared to newborn days.  He is definitely growing fast.
- Received his first round of vaccinations today.  I think it hurt me more than him.  I have never heard him cry like that before, which made me cry - not fun!  He was fine in a few seconds, so I told myself to get over it, ha!
- Love his morning play time. He is most alert and ready to play after his 8am feeding.  He loves the play mat that Jill (my mom's BFF) gave us.  He has now learned to reach up with his feet and kick the toys, and he uses the piano keys to push off. 
- His smiles melt my heart!!  He is smiling more and more each day.  After feedings he will study me and then just smile away.  I love it!
- Still sucks on his knuckles and uses the pacifier to soothe him.

 

He was so funny during his "photo shoot".  He just watched and followed his dad the entire time.   It was hard to pick just one picture.

 Loves his play mat!  He is always so alert and focused - thank you Jill and Family!!

 We have been blessed with a few days of a "Texas Summer Cold Front" (low 90s/high 80s).  With a breeze it is quite nice, and makes for great family walks around the park.  We are still trying to figure out the whole bjorn thing :)

Love my boys and weekend cuddle time!
