My Dear E-
You are now two months old! You are the most pleasant baby ever! You are such a sweet little guy. We hardly ever hear you cry.. if you need something (to eat, diaper change, are sick of where you are laying etc) you start to squeak a little. If we hear you cry, we are always surprised, and know something is really wrong. (like when you got your 2 month shots, or when Daddy poked you in the eye with his beard!!) You are so content and we just love you for it!
You started to smile 2 days after you turned a month old, and you like to coo and tell stories. You are especially happy and social after you eat, and during diaper changes.
You still have quite a bit of hair, but are getting a bald spot on the back of your head.. we still think you are so handsome though! So many people comment on your hair!
You have only rolled from your tummy to your back one or two times and we haven’t seen it since, but you do get lots of tummy time. You don’t really care for it very much, but we make you lay on your tummy a few times a day to strengthen those neck muscles and also get a new perspective on the world.
Here are some 2 month stats on you:
*Size 2 diaper
*At your 2 month check up, you were 13lbs 10oz/22 ¼ inches long. That is 90th percentile for weight and 25th for height. Short and chubby!
*You nurse every 3 hours and usually follow this schedule: up at 6a to eat, 9a, 12p, 3p, 6p, 9p (or a little later) then you go to bed around 11p or so, and sleep till 6a or so. I LOVE that you sleep 7 hours in a row, and it helps Mommy stay sane! You started to sleep through the night right at 6 weeks and I just think it’s the best thing!! You currently sleep next to our bed in your carseat, but we are trying to get you to sleep in the bassinette. (Started sleeping in the bassinette full time around 9 weeks)
*You are a great nurser and it takes you 20-30 minutes to eat usually.
*You take a paci but spit it out at times.
*You have only had one bottle and it had mommy’s milk in it. We only gave you an ounce in it—just to see if you would take a bottle.
*I can almost count on getting spit up on after you nurse.
*Your brother and sister adore you, but don’t interact with you a ton yet. H holds you, and J will too occasionally, but he normally just pets you a little!
*You do not mind getting your diaper or clothes changed.
*You are happy pretty much anywhere—in someone’s arms, the swing, your carseat, and even on the floor if you aren’t left by yourself for too long.
*You like bathtime and kick your legs like crazy! I got a funny video of you wiggling from side to side in your little infant bathtub.
*You came to Auntie S and Uncle T’s wedding on June 3rd and did perfectly! You slept through a lot of it!
*You don’t have a set nap schedule, but we try to have you play for a little bit after you nurse so your schedule usually follows the eat, play, nap routine.
E, we love you so very much. Life is so much fun with a baby in the house again. I was saying to Daddy the other day that I am just so happy to have a baby to hold—my big kids don’t let me snuggle them much anymore! You are an amazing baby and are a joy to have in our lives. We love you! Love, Mama
