Turner - 2 months

August 2, 2013

 

Turner turns two months old. My lil' man is growing SO FAST!!!

Baby Stats:
Weight

 12.9 pounds (73%ile)

Length
24" (87%ile)

Sleep
The time between night feeding keeps growing and I can't wait until I get a  SOLID 7 hours of sleep. Right now he wakes 6 hours after his bed time feeding. Getting closer to that 7 hour mark. I am hoping that by the time I go back to work, he is not waking at all during the night.

Daily Routine
We are still on our Eat, Activity, Sleep schedule. He has his feeding, then we play and then down for a nap. This is all in a 3 hour cycle unless he is having a growth spurt and he becomes hungry sooner.

Feeding
It seems like Turner sometimes doesn't know what he wants. We've been trying to introduce a bottle more than once a day and all the sudden he decides he doesn't want a bottle @ all. Then the next day, he doesn't want the boob and only wants the bottle. He's so confusing at times. Then we have days he will take the bottle whenever we give it and will breastfeed just fine. Everyone keeps telling me to not worry and he will take the bottle @ daycare when he's hungry enough.

Diaper Size
We are FINALLY using the cloth diapers. Turner's cord fell off during his 2nd month and we started using the cloth diapers RIGHT AWAY! I'm loving it. The first week was a bit of trial and error getting use to them, but we got it down now and it's going well. I will sure to be post soon all about it.

Clothes Size
I think he has maybe 2 newborn outfits that he could fit into, but for the most part, he is in 0-3 month clothing and some 3 months also. His PJ's that are 0-3 are getting short on him.

Hair Color
Still a light brown color.

Eye Color
He's our lil' blue eye boy for right now!

Milestones
- at 5 weeks + 1 day, your umbilical cord fell off

- you have found your hands/fists and love sucking and putting the whole thing in your mouth


- you are smiling like crazy now and we LOVE it! You love to laugh and show off your gums!

- you have 3 weddings under your belt already...thankfully we are done for the year on those!

 

- people say you either looks just like me, just like your dad or a mix of both...we hear it all!

 

 

 

Turner,
Wow...2 months already!!! Life just gets better and better everyday with you! I'm sad to think that by the time I do your 3 month post, I will be back at work but I know you are in the best care possible! It will be good for you to be around other people. I do love that anytime you are fussy or upset, that if I just hold you it calms you down. You have so many people that love you so much and you bring such joy to their lives. You are such a good baby...even when you have your moments. I look forward to bringing you to your first football game in a few weeks when your daddy is coaching! Keep smiling like crazy because it seriously just melts your dad and my heart! Love you so much lil' man!!!

xoxo,
Your mama
