2 months

Has it been 2 months already?! You are growing so fast!

At 2 months, you still sleep a lot but are starting to be more awake during the day. During the day you are still eating every 3 hours, but thankfully this week you started sleeping for 5-6 hours at night :) Mama loves that!

You spit up a lot, which means two things...burp cloths are very important and are everywhere around the house and it makes for a lot more laundry.

We went to the doctor and had to get 3 shots, you screamed until I picked you up. Mama's eyes watered a little bit too, I'm not sure if the shots are harder for you or me. :( You didn't run a fever or anything.

Stats from the doctor: 16 lb. 10 oz. and 25.5 in. long The nurse said that puts you in the 100th percentile! You are a big boy! You look it too! I just love all your rolls and your chubby cheeks! Everybody just wants to squeeze you! One day I noticed the bottom of your big toes felt like balls. Asked the doctor about it just to make sure nothing was wrong, but was assured that it is just fat! :)

Had to put away the 3 month and 3-6 month clothes. :( You are now in 6-9 month clothes.

Tolerating the bouncer for a little while, but you do not like being on your back. You found the animals above your swing, so now you will stay there for a little bit longer, maybe 15 minutes, while you "talk" to the animals. You started smiling around 5-6 weeks old but now you are smiling a lot more. You are making cooing noises to talk too! Love that!

You hate riding in your carseat. After only about 5-10 minutes, you scream the rest of the time and a paci does not help at all! :( Unfortunately we live 40 minutes away from church/school/friends houses so whenever we go to Greeneville, you scream for a half hour until we take you out of the carseat. I hate that I can't do anything to help you.

Your favorite position is to be cuddled up on someone's chest. You love to snuggle!!

Caden has nicknamed you Cheeto. I am not sure why he came up with that name, but that is what he has started calling you.

First 2 weeks

The first 2 weeks went a little something like this...

Nana stayed with us the first week...so thankful for the extra help...she played with Caden a lot, I'm sure he probably wore her out, but he loved every minute of it.

One of Nana and Caden's creations...garages for his tractors.

Outside playing tackle with Daddy for the first time while trying to get a little more sun before taking you to get your bilirubin checked again

Caden recently told Daddy that he "doesn't like you when you cry" but he has been a very good big brother, adjusting well, and is always worried about where you are at and what you are doing.

* At your 2 week appointment, you weighed 10lbs 14oz and measured 23 7/8 in. You have grown almost an inch and a half in 2 weeks!

* Umbilical cord fell off and circumcision has healed

* Finally gave up trying to squeeze you into the newborn diapers and moved you to a size 1, gave the rest of the nb diapers to a friend

* Put away the newborn clothes :( 0-3months just fits better

* You make a lot of noises...snorts, grunts, snores, sneezes, farts

* Wiggle worm

* Belly sleeper (just like your brother)

* Eats every 2.5-3 hours during the day and 3-4 hours at night
