Two Months

Daniel's stats this month were:

Weight: 11 lb 3 oz

Height: 21 inches

He is growing perfectly!

 

- He still loves bath time and has only cried during one. 

- He is such a good eater. When its time to eat he doesn't mess around. We sit down and he downs 4-5 oz in 10 minutes and we're done. He does spit up a bit though. He eats every 3 to 4 hrs during the day which is great.

- He is a loud sleeper! Luckily he sleeps in his own crib so we can sleep too but he can also sleep through just about everything (including a 4th of July fireworks show) which is nice. 

- He is getting really close to being able to hold his head up. He is our strong little boy. 

- He is still able to wear some newborn clothes and is also wearing some 0-3 month things but they are a little big on him still. 

- He really enjoys his play mat. It is probably his favorite thing to lay under it and try and hit the toys. Its my favorite thing to do with him too :)

- His sleep patterns are getting more and more consistent. For the most part he only gets up once a night. He'll sleep for 5 to 6 hours almost every night which is AWESOME! Normally he's down by 8:30 then up by 7:30 the next morning with 2 feedings in between (3 if he's having a rough night). Thankfully he's usually pretty easy to put back down at night. He is still taking 2 to 3 hour naps during the day too which is nice.

- He loves to move! Unless its time to sleep, he likes to be moving. That means that the rock and play must be rocked if he's in it and isn't in a deep sleep and he likes to be bounced or rocked in a rocking chair and if he's laying down then he is always moving his legs. Its really cute to watch him!

- He is a LOUD burper/tooter/pooper. Really. It would be embarrassing if it wasn't so funny (to me).

- He loves riding in the car. It is so easy to take him places because he enjoys the rides in the car and does really well being in stores and parks and stuff. Its so funny though because when we get in the car its seriously a few seconds and his eyes are closed and he's out. I'm so happy he likes to travel so far and I hope he continues to enjoy it because we love going places! 

- He smiles at random times (its the cutest thing in the world) and is starting to coo more often. Its so fun to see him try and talk. Sometimes we just sit and say "hi" over and over until he tries to talk.

We love you Daniel! We can't believe you've only been here two months, it feels like you've always been with us!
