2 months


Excuse me? My baby is an adult!
I need to hurry and blog while he is still 2 months! He will be 3 months in 2 weeks.
But honestly...he is the size of a six month old.
He had his 2 month appointment.
His shots were traumatic. More for me than him.
My heart shattered right to the floor.
I can't get enough of him and kiss those luscious cheeks round the clock.

AGE: 2 months

WEIGHT: 14.4 lbs. (94th percentile)

HEIGHT: 25 in. (97th percentile)

SIZE: He is in size 2 diapers, but I just bought some size 3 and they fit him like a dream! He wears mostly 6 and 6-9 month clothing. 

EYES: His eyes are still dark, and I'm sure they will stay that way.

HAIR: The little bit he has is still dark. Forming a little bald spot in the back from turning his head rapidly from side to side checking everything out. 

SLEEPING: He is doing better every night. Lately, he will sleep a 6 hour stretch and then a 3 hour stretch. Only waking 1-2 times a night. I honestly haven't been very strict in sleep training him...yet. I plan to very soon. He is a hungry bear :) 

EATING: He is still breastfeeding like a champ, especially at night. When I need to, he takes a bottle of pumped milk like a champ. Thankfully, he has passed his gas phase. For a couple of weeks he struggled at a few of his feedings to get his gas out. We made it through alive!

MILESTONES: He is smiling a ton! Not just at me and D, but everyone who will smile and talk to him. He is cooing and baby talking all over the place.

MEMORABLE OUTINGS: I took him to the Aquarium with my brothers and mom. He slept the entire time. We also went to the zoo with Dallin's dad and step-mom. He was awake in his stroller and smiling up a storm. He now has been swimming twice and loved it! Proud mama moment.

LOVES:
to eat (obviously)
light of any kind
to be outside
anyone who will smile and talk to him
his swing
the car/carseat
walks in the baby bjorn
wubbanub 
baths
his legs tickled
being diaper-free
sucking on his hands

NICKNAMES: Bubbas....that is pretty much all Dallin and I call him. I'm sure he thinks that is his name:)

FUNNY MOMENTS: In Sunday School this week, he messed in his diaper like a grown man. The noise went on for a good 7 seconds. So that was nice. I don't know what it is, but it's like he knows when someone is praying. He always likes to let them rip right during the most quiet times.

WARNING...picture overload. He already looks so different than most of these. No longer a newborn:(
