Today you are two months old! Time has continued to fly by and we are savoring every moment with you! You are coming into your own, with your own little personality and we are loving every second and love seeing the new thing you learn and discover! And this last month has been filled with many new discoveries and more firsts!
A little about you:
Today we had your 2 month well baby doctor visit and you weighed it at 12 pounds 1 oz. or 57% and 24.25 inches long or 90%. You are one long and lean little man! You are still in 0-3 months clothes and have graduated into size 2 diapers! Not sure how much longer you will be able to wear your 0-3 month clothes, so you are in a new outfit every chance we get!
As for your health, you are a strong, healthy, sweet baby boy! You had a little stuffy nose a few weeks ago and it comes and goes every now and again, but for the most part you are perfectly healthy. We are also learning your different cry/fussy noises. You really only cry when you are hungry and we don't have your bottle ready or when you are tired and want to be swaddled up... but other than that you are mostly content and a very sweet baby.
Speaking of sleep... you are a great little sleeper, and we hope that continues. As of June 1st you officially started sleeping through the night! Your new nighttime schedule has been bath, bottle, books, bed by 9 then a "dream feed" at 10:30-11:00ish and you then sleep till 6-7am. You do stir a little around 5ish, but most of the time you go back to sleep on your own, but if not we give you your pacifier and that seems to do the trick! We are very proud of you for taking to your crib so well and super excited about your sleeping through the night! Next month we are going to try to phasing out the dream feed so we will see how that goes!
When it comes to play time you are a super alert! You have discovered your hands in a new way and love to suck on them... we wonder if you will be a thumb sucker... only time will tell. You also enjoy looking a bright colors and patterns. Morning is your favorite time and when you talk the most! We love laying in bed together as a family of 3 just talking, laughing and smiling! It is our favorite time of the day as well! Nothing is sweeter than your smile that is followed by a coo or other fun baby talk!
You still love tummy time and hold your head up the entire time. You continue to roll over accidentally and we are working with you to teach you to roll back over from your back to your tummy... but you don't seem very interested. You also love to swat, kick and grab your toys that hang from your bouncy seat, momaroo and activity mat. We have also started taking walks first thing in the morning and you also enjoyed your first time on the swings!
Like I mentioned before, your second month has been filled with many more firsts! We ventured out more this month and enjoyed many lunch dates with friends, afternoons running errands, shopping trips and you also enjoyed your first pool day! Since you are on a more predictable routine (eat every 3 hours and sleep about a hour to hour and a half after your bottle till your next bottle) it has become more easy to plan the day and activities for us to get out of the house! And you are a great little errands runner and lunch date and mostly sleep through them unless it is time to eat!
Benjamin, this second month has been so precious for us! With each and everyday you are learning new sounds and other tricks and we just love you so very much! It has gone by so fast and you are growing into a little baby... not our newborn baby anymore.
Happy Two Months Benjamin! Love momma and daddy!
