Here we are at 2 Months Old already!
You are growing and changing right before our eyes every day! It seems like just yesterday you were born, but at the same time it seems like forever ago! You've been a very alert baby boy from day 1 and even started trying to hold your head up right away, but you are getting more and more interactive and strong by the day!
You now weigh 12 Pounds, 9 Ounces (61%) and are 23 inches long (55%) and your head is 15.24 inches around (42%).
Be warned...this post has a photo overload...I couldn't NOT include any of these pictures...you're just too cute!
You've gained 2 pounds and 9 ounces and have grown 1.5 inches in the past month!
You have become even more smiley and chatty!
Your eyes have become a very pretty shade of blue and your hair is starting to fade to more strawberry blonde. It will be interesting to see if these change at all over the next 10 months.
You have now completely outgrown all of your newborn clothes except for shorts. You don't have the longest legs or the biggest waist and newborn shorts still fit you best. You finally outgrew your newborn clothes around 6 weeks. Besides wearing mainly newborn shorts, you are now completely in size 0-3 months clothes.
Your newborn size diapers started to leak around 7 weeks old so we used up the rest of the newborn diapers and you are now fully in size 1 diapers! Yay for no more leaks! :)
You go through about 10-12 diapers per day.
You now sleep a solid 7-9 hours each night pretty consistently! Bedtime is still usually between 8:30 and 9:30pm but we are trying to get a more set bedtime and wake up time. Hopefully by 3 months we will have more of a schedule. Something tells me that might not be the case :)
Most nights we can put you to bed drowsy and you will fall asleep on your own, but sometimes you like to be rocked to sleep.
You have been a pretty sleepy guy lately, taking long naps each day too!
Sometimes in the afternoon mommy will put you down for your nap in your crib (and then daddy can watch you from work on his iPad), but you mainly nap in your swing still. Partly because you sleep best there and partly because mommy likes you close to her.
This month you survived taking your oral antibiotic and your finger is all back to normal! Such a good boy!
You are looking so big and grown up!

-You've found your hands! You shake them in front of your face and look at them and then in your mouth they go!

You have also started sitting in your bumbo seat for short stretches of time. More 'tummy time'!

You're a tough boy! Shots don't scare you! All smiles after getting your shots :)
So proud of you and conquering the nasty 'first' shots!
How time flies! You are getting so big! We can't believe you are already 2 months old! We love you more than words can say and can't wait to see what the next month brings!
LOVE YOU!
