Everett 2 Months Old

2 Month old! You're full of sweetness and light, smiles and coos.  We could not possibly love you more than we do.  You're personality is really starting to shine and I love the little man you are becoming.  You still love nothing more than to be outside.  Luckily with a spring birthday, we are able to hang out on the patio, take walks, get out and about most days.  You love to lay on the patio catching some rays, while kicking and singing (no worries concerning your vitamin D intake).  I like to joke that you're like a cat...looking for the sun spots to lounge in.  You also love a good, hot bath and playing on your play mat.  You're not really a fan of your car seat...it's really the only time you protest, but when you hate something...you really hate it.  You can get yourself so worked up, you'll break out in a heat rash (there is a little temper under that cool demeanor ;)

This month you started giggling and exhibiting your full gummy smile. You smile almost anytime someone talks to you.  You are also holding your head up great and traveling comfortably in the front carrier.  You starting to really enjoying sucking on your fist and have learned how to push your bum of the floor with your heels.

You are eating every 2.5-3 hour, often cluster feeding in the evenings.  Still showing signs of food allergies in your stools, but not in your temperament, so nursing persists on.  Sleep is inconsistent right now, sometimes you'll sleep 8-10, 10-6 but sometime will stay up longer, sleeping 9-11 with a random 3-4:00am feeding thrown in.  Typically you're up at 6:30 to start your day. You've also decided recently to resort to short cat naps throughout the day; 40-45 mins.  I think you're trying to figure out how to sleep through your sleep cycles and so far are having a difficult time.  Right now, you nap best in the swing but sleeping good at night swaddled in your crib.

You're a big boy, stats for your 2 month check up:

14 lbs 1 oz
24 inches
3-6 months clothes
size 2 diapers

Oh those lips, those twinkly eyes!

Happy 2 month birthday my little love :)
