Abraham: 2 months




Stats: 
BMI: 19.8
Weight: 13 lbs- 85th percentile
Height: 21.5 inches-20-25th percentile
Head Circumference: 15.35 inches- 30th percentile

Clothing Size: 3 months and a few 3-6 months. 

Diaper Size: Size 2!  You are on the smallest rise on your regular cloth diapers. Although I have been pretty bad about putting you in disposables. Trying to get the hang of "Mommy of 2", and diaper laundry is something I'm omitting for a bit while I learn. ;) 

Firsts: First sickness. :( First time visiting the Easter Bunny! First trip to the mall! First time in the Bumbo. First St. Patrick's Day! First trip to Enterprise. First sunglasses... 

Milestones: You are holding your head up so well. You like to stand when we hold your hands. You are ridiculously strong. You coo and smile a lot.

Food: You are exclusively breastfed and doing wonderful...(if you couldn't tell by the rolls) We feed you on demand. Daddy and brother have both fed you a bottle of pumped milk. You took it well, and drank about 3 oz both times. We don't plan on giving you a bottle often, but I know brother and Daddy enjoyed "taking a turn". 

Likes: Pretty much the same as last month. You have developed a love for bath time and start crying if we haven't put you in there by 7:00. Being naked!  The sound of the bathroom fan. Looking at picture frames, glasses, and hats. Going outside... Being worn... Being Held... 

Dislikes:  Getting your face washed or wiped, getting your nails cut, the carseat, the squeaking noise your "Sophie" the giraffe makes... 

Best Moment: Your sweet smiles. All we have to do is look at you, and you smile with your whole face. 

Worst Moment: Being sick... and having to get your finger pricked, catheterized, and nose swabbed. Hard for you and Mommy both! I think the doc went a little overboard for a cold, but because you hadn't had your first shots we had to be extra cautious. 

Sleep: Sleeping with Mommy and Daddy, but typically only waking once in the night between 2 and 4 to eat. Technically, "sleeping through the night" is sleeping a 5 hours stretch. You started that around 7 weeks. :) This week has been a little different because you've hit the 6-8 week growth spurt. You have been nursing every two hours night and day. You still sleep a ton during the day. 

Favorites: Your morning time happiness. I get so many smiles when you first wake up! 

Our days: We go out and about a lot. We love our play groups! No schedule really...You still sleep a ton, and eat a ton! 

Nicknames: I've noticed myself calling you "Bubba" a lot. haha! 

Health: I gave you your first cold, and felt horrible for it! I nursed you like crazy so that you got the antibodies my body was making for you. I also sucked your nose out a lot, and gave you baths with Vapor Bubble Bath. You are now well and healthy! 

Things I want to remember...

The way you smile with your whole face!

Your sweet baby coos. The other day you coo'd and it sounded like "Ooo la". Owen said "Mommy brother said his first WORD! Olaf! Olaf from Frozen."- super sweet moment I want to remember!

How squishy you are...I love squeezing you!

Your sweet milk breath (people without children are gagging now...haha)

Can't forget these sweet smiles...
