2 Months Old!

Well, sweet boy, you are officially 2 months old! What an amazing and somewhat challenging last month we have had. When the month started, you were fussy and feisty for most of the afternoon and evening, sleeping only 2-3 hour stretches at a time, dealing with some pretty nasty acid reflux, never smiling, and weighed just over 8 pounds. Mommy and Daddy weren't too sure we would survive at that point and occasionally had moments of, "What did we do?!?" (Don't worry - we still loved you even then!) Flash forward to today, and you are smiling, laughing/giggling (as of the past two days), sleeping 5-hour stretches, and weigh over 12 pounds! What a difference a month makes!

This month we discovered the Bumbo chair, the Moby, and finally started taking the pacifier. You also fell in love with the bath and your swing thanks to your brilliant Aunt Sarah! Who would've known you wanted to swing so fast?!? You took your second trip to the lake (pictures to come in the next post) and went swimming for the first time! You LOVE the water! You typically go to bed sometime between 8:30 and 9:30, and you are still waking up two times to eat at night (typically at 2am with daddy and at 5:30 with mommy). We don't mind at all though and are so thankful for the 9pm - 2am stretch! :) We are hopeful that you will continue to stretch this time period out over this next month, so we'll wait and see! We sure do love you, baby boy!
