Luke: 2 Months

Happy 2 Months to our Little Man.

 At 2 months you ...

• are giving us smiles!!  We love it!  The baby coos are starting and your precious toothless grin is just the cutest thing ever.
• are awake more and more
• enjoy playing on your play mat, those little arms and legs go everywhere
• are eating every 2.5 - 3 hours during the day and usually right at 3 hours at night.  We get an occasional break at night where you may go 4 - 5 hours but that has only happened a few times 
• are working through your tummy issues like a champ.  I think we have been through the worst of it.  Dr. G said you have a little bit of irritable bowel and there isn't anything we can do about it... you will grow out of it.  We also have you on reflux meds.  They seem to be giving you some comfort. We are slowly on the mend!
• still have your umbilical hernia (poor little guy), something else that will go away with time
• eat breast milk only but usually from a bottle
• are getting so strong and are starting to get really great control of your little head
• are getting better and better at tummy time

• your favorite place to sleep is still on someone or in your bunny bouncer
• sleep in your crib in your room at night as much as we can get you to, swaddled arms out; we have the green light from Dr. G to start some sleep training and self soothing.  Sorry in advance buddy.
• are working really hard to find your thumb, I think that may become your best friend in lieu of a paci.  

 

• Mommy still sleeps in your room with you at night pretty often, hopefully you take to a better nighttime sleeping schedule soon and Mommy can get back to her bed.
• your clogged tear duct is getting so much better on your left eye - yay!
• enjoy car rides, going on walks and being outside
• love your bath just like your sister
• are already wearing size 2 diapers!  Seriously, already.
• still have your blue eyes
• haven't lost any of your handsome hair
• have are starting to outgrow some of your 0-3 month clothes.  You are wearing some 3-6/6month outfits already.

 

Your big sister thinks you are pretty special and we do too!  You go with Mommy to take and pickup Addison from school each day and she is always sure to make sure you are okay when she sees you and loves to show you off.  If I happen to not have you with me, the first thing she asks is "where Bubba go?"  One time she asked me if I left you in the car.  I know you two will be the best of friends.

 

Little buddy, we sure do love you.
