Two months already, baby boy! This time of year flies by so quickly on its own but with a newborn it seems like the days are going by at lighting speed! At 2 months of age you weigh 12lbs 10oz and are 25.25 inches!

| Big Boy!! |
You grew out of most of the newborn clothes a few weeks ago and are now in all 3 months clothes. You are in cloth diapers now too which makes mommy really excited!
This month we seem to have hit our groove together and I've really enjoyed the time with you. We have gotten on a pretty good schedule which seems crazy to even say for a baby so young. But you do really well when I stick to it and get crabby when I don't so I think it's safe to say that. You like to wake up pretty early but then you want to go back to sleep around 7am and you'll usually take a morning nap for a few hours. Then you are up and like to hang out, talk, coo and look around. You're a lot more alert during your waking hours these days and it's so much fun. Then you like to go down for an afternoon nap for a few hours and bedtime is usually around 7pm for you. I've figured you out a bit as far as what soothes you and I think we are doing a good job together.

My biggest accomplisment with you this month has been figuring out how to get you to go to sleep on your own! I'm so proud of you for doing that so early. If you are drowsy I can put you in the swaddle with a binky and the sound machine and you'll usually put yourself to sleep. It's really awesome! I am trying really hard to not give you the same bad sleep habits we did for your brother and so far I think it's going really great. You do still prefer to be rocked to sleep at night but once your out, you are OUT. You have been sleeping for 5 to 7 hour stretches at night too! Halleluigah!

Some fun things you are doing this month are tracking with your eyes much more. You will follow me around the room sometimes. You also look at your dad and brother a ton and will turn to the sound of their voices. It's super cute.

| So handsome |
Sometimes you will let out a big SIGH and that is pretty adorable too. Sometimes you will do it right after a big sneeze like "ah! That's better!" ha ha!
You have also started pushing up with your feet a ton this month! You are so strong too. You can kick while sitting down and push yourself up with them if we are holding you up.

Another place you love to kick your feet is the bathtub. You love taking baths! Ever since we went from sponge baths to actually letting you sit in the water, you will just lie there completely still and enjoy the warm water. It's pretty adorable. I like baths too buddy. :) You actually took a bath with your brother last weekend and that was pretty much the cutest thing ever
Speaking of your brother, you are still getting used to him. You still cry when he gets in your face or shouts in the car. I try my best to keep that to a minimum but it's not likely to stop permanetnly. I think you'll get used to it soon.

You had your first Thanksgiving this month. You were able to wear your brother's Thanksgiving onesie which is crazy because he was 6 months or something at his first Thanksgiving (but the onesie is 3 months size). You did pretty ok. Your schedule was disrupted and the chaos of it being loud and a new place and new people holding you got to you after a while and you were pretty crabby. But that's ok. You're super cute so that makes up for it.
So overall a great month for you! Happy 2 months baby boy!
