2 Months Old

This month's favorite


Also pretty cute

Funny face and glare on the camera, but looks like he's showing off the sign

Our little angel is now 2 months old! Where has the time gone? I hope things slow down a little bit because I don't want him to grow up just yet. He is growing up a storm though and had a great Dr.'s visit on his 2 month bday, minus the shots! I hated having to watch him get them, but after some love and food from Mommy he was all better.

His new stats are 24.5 inches long- 95th% and 12lbs 6.5oz- 75th%. Ryan is still wearing size 1 diapers and is wearing size 0-3 and 3 month clothing. However, I think we will start putting him in some 3-6 month outfits soon since his torso is so long. The 3 month pants are still a little big, but he's quickly outgrowing the bodysuits/onesies.

Some of his latest growth and development include:

• Loves to smile @ Mom and Dad's kisses and tickles and has the cutest smile!!



• Loves to look at the bears on his mobile in pack 'n play and crib



• Enjoys splashing his legs in the bathtub



• In the past week he's actually started hitting the toys on his bouncy seat & smiling at them. He hasn't figured out how to pull the frog to make it sing yet though



• Vocalizes w/ sweet ooo's and aahh's



• Just beginning to really notice his hands b/c I've seen him looking at them- also brings them together and holds his own hands which I think is cute



• Won't reach for a rattle yet, but if you put it in his grasp he will shake it for awhile



• Favorite time is eating. He still rotates 2-3 hours during the day, but mostly 4 hours some 3 hours at night. He's typically up for 2 nighttime feedings, although the night he turned 2 months old he slept after his 8:30pm feeding until 3am, then up at 7:30am after eating. So far this week it's only happened one other time, but I think he's getting close to that 1 feeding during the night. Yay! :)



• I'm afraid he might have a bit of a temper, but only time will tell. He cries really loud when he's not getting his way- tears and all and turns bright red in the face. Sometimes when I'm putting him down for bed and he's not ready yet he'll cry and when I finally pick him up to rock him back to sleep he just grins up at me as if to say "Ha, I got my way." It's all I can do not to laugh or smile back at him at moments like that.



• When you walk around with him now he turns his head from side to side to look at everything.



• Enjoys laying on a blanket or in his pack 'n play just kicking his legs and making lots of fun noises. He can entertain himself for 20-30 minutes this way before getting bored or mad.


• Lifts up his head about 45 degrees when doing tummy time

He is such a blessing and each day shows us more and more of his personality. He is truly such a miracle from God! We love him very much and can't imagine life without him! :)
