. 2 months .

 

ok, so he's not quite 2 months, but will be in 4 days.  sweet boy had his 2 month well check yesterday. so, at 2 months, he ...

*weighs 10 lbs 2 oz!  he's grown so much.  it shocks me that he's gained a whole 4 pounds since he was born.  he still seems to tiny to me, but looking through his weekly pictures makes me realize just how big he's gotten.

*is 22 inches.  he's a short dude.  the girls were born at 21.5 inches.  

*the white onesie in this picture is still a newborn size.  all of his sleepers are 0-3 months though.  he has long legs!  

*still in size 1 diapers, although as soon as this pack is gone, we'll buy size 2.  i put him in size 2 at night time b/c he pees SO much!

*is still struggling with reflux.  we're about to try zantac.  prevacid made him much worse!  he's still not spitting up much, but that spit up stays in his throat and it hurts him.  

*has colic.  booooooooooooooo!  he is pretty fussy and restless from about 6pm until we finally get him to sleep.  some nights is 10.  some 11.  one night was 12:30 before we got him settled down.

*during his colicky time, he likes to be put into the carrier on my chest and for me to vaccum.  puts him right to sleep every time.  needless to say, my floors stay clean! 

*takes 1 LONG nap every day.  he stays awake from his first morning feeding until his 2nd one.  then sleeps until the next feeding.  so a 4 hour nap!  we'll see how long that lasts.  he'll then be awake for a few hours, and take another shorter nap.  then awake.  fussy.  then down for the night.

*has been sleeping in his crib, but in the bouncy seat this week.  seems to help his reflux and colic to be inclined and with the vibrate on the bouncy.  

*smiles.  a sweet, sweet smile.  he's done it for me just a few times.  he smiles a lot for david and karsyn.  

*grabs and holds onto the collar of my shirt when i hold him and feed him.  i know very well when he needs his nails trimmed!!!
