two months

Little b turned two months old last week.  I think I've said this before: Boy, how time flies.

Length / Weight: 23 inches, and 12 lbs, 1 oz.  The scale had actually settled on 12 lbs, 1.5 oz, until he peed all over the dr's floor.  Then it re-settled at 12 lbs, 1 oz. :)  23 inches is true, also.  He laid so still for that!  His head is 40 cm, and all of those stats are exactly in the 50th percentile.  A perfectly symmetrical boy!  While we're talking about the doctor, he had his shots while there.  He did NOT like them.  I felt so bad.  We came home and he took a nap, but then cried for a good portion of the evening.  Tears and tears falling down his cheeks - I cried right along with him. :(

Eating: We had a period there where he would projectile vomit all over... the reflux meds have dramatically decreased the crying while eating, but the spit-up/vomiting didn't go away.  So we put him on Similac Sensitive and that helped a ton.  After his 2 month appointment, we started adding in breast milk to the formula.  We're up to 2 oz of breast milk, 2 oz of formula.  We'll see how it goes.  He's still eating on average every 3 hours, except for one longer stretch at night.

Sleeping: Little b is a pretty good sleeper!  While I was home on leave, he'd sleep for a good chunk of the morning, then take a shorter nap in the afternoon.  He usually eats for the last time around 9 pm and we've gotten some 5 hour stretches of sleep in there!  This morning, he was up at 3:00 and that was it until 6:30.  We can deal with that!

Wearing: Quickly moving out of 0-3 month clothes and into 3-6.  We thought the size 1 diapers were getting small too, but I've noticed lately that if he doesn't WIGGLE while getting his diaper changed, they fit much better! :)  They're not going to last long, though.

Miscellaneous: Smiles a lot now!  Josh said he laughed on Sept. 12 (yesterday), also.  I haven't heard him - I can't get him to do it!  Josh said it happened while he was blowing zerberts on b's belly.  He still LOVES to be swaddled to sleep and when he can't settle down, we put the swaddle me blanket on and he is instantly calm. His pacifier - won't take it any more.  Sucks a few times and then will spit it out.  He has found his fists though.  He had a couple days where I thought he was going to suck them completely off... that has settled down a bit but he still does suck them sometimes!  He still loves taking baths. He doesn't cry and actually gets some coos out during them! He also loves to be in his swing!  He'll talk and talk and talk and talk and talk to his fish on the swing.  He also loves to talk to his blue monkey on the floor gym!

Today was his first day at daycare.  He did great, despite having to change clothes not once, but twice because of blowouts!  Oops.
