2 months

Ian you are 2 months old and changing everyday.

You are a wonderful, independent baby, you only wake-up once during the night if that and a few weeks ago you discovered that after your middle of the night feeding that it's still night time and will sleep for another 4-5hrs instead of 2. I thank you for discovering that as much as I love you I was not liking that you would only sleep for 2hrs after your feeding. You are almost completely out of newborn clothing there are a few items that you can fit into (depending the designer) but the majority of your wardrobe is from your 0-3mos collection with the sleeves and pants rolled up.

At your 2mos check-up you weighed in at 10lbs 12oz, measured 22.5in long, with a head circumference of 15.25in. The doctor is pleased with your progress in the growing department and impressed with your neck muscles.

You only cry when you're hungry and waiting on the bottle to warm up and during diaper changes and it's not even during each diaper changes just the really really messy ones.

You now sleep in your crib and do great with it. When we brought you home the 1st night you slept in your crib as your bassinet did not arrive until the next day (schedule difficulties). And you did great that first night too. However mommy and daddy hadn't quite figured out your high tech monitor system so we slept with eye opened, we got it under control now. You are overall a good sleeper at nap time and bed time which you must've taken after daddy in that department because I was not a fan of sleeping let alone napping when I was a baby. Right now you don't have a nap schedule sometimes you'll sleep more in the morning and others more in the afternoon. You do what your body needs you to do and we follow your cues on that.

You eat 5.5oz every 4-5hrs and often times you will flirt with the idea of 6oz but you have yet to commit to it at every feeding. There seems to be something that I'm eating that is causing you to be gassy. I started tracking what I'm eating so we'll have to wait and see what it is your tummy isn't liking.


You started going to the sitters at 5.5wks, you only go 3x a week and you do great while your there. The drive from work to you seems like it takes forever and that I can't get to you fast enough!! I love that I get to spend 2 full days with you during the week.

You have spiked an interest in rolling over you get close to completing the roll so many different times. Then you get real comfy and fall asleep.


Ian you bring some much joy not only into our lives but into others as well. We love you buddy!!

Love
Mommy and Daddy
