October 21, 2015

Baby Stats:

Weight

approx. 15 lbs on home scale

Length

24.25" - at 2 months old...won't measure until 4 month appointment

Sleep

Little man is a great sleeper. He goes to bed around 7 pm every night. I do a 'dream feed' at 9:30 before I go to bed. He started out after turning 2 months waking in the 4 am hour and we would just go put his paci in and he would go back to sleep. Just this last week he has not woken until 6:30 for his morning feeding. We did try to eliminate the swaddle because he is not swaddled at daycare with his naps...didn't work so well as he was up at all hours of the night. So while he is still not swaddled for naps at daycare, he is swaddled at home. 

Daily Routine

Maddox wakes at 6:30 for his first feeding. Goes to daycare around 8. Sometime he naps at daycare before his 9:30 feeding, sometimes not. He also has been hit or miss with a morning nap at daycare. Eats again at 12:30 and then naps a good chunk of the afternoon and eats again around 3:30. Boys are picked up from daycare at 4:30. We then go home and hang out until I feed Turner dinner at 5:30. I nurse Maddox between 6-6:30. He then gets a bath and is in bed around 7-7:15.

During the day he eats every 3 hours. While home with me on the weekends, I nurse him and he naps more often than it seems at daycare.

Feeding

Like above, eats every 3 hours and gets bottles during the week while at daycare. Gets about 4-4.5 oz in each bottle. It seems that his 3:30 bottle, he only eats about 2 oz. I seem to be pumping more than he eats which I love. Stocking up the freezer :)

Diaper Size

Still rocking cloth diapers during the day and he is in size 2 Honest brand diapers at night.

Clothes Size

He's pretty much outgrown all 0-3 month clothes and is in 3 month clothes and even 6 month clothes. His cloth diapers are so bulky that the 6 month pants fit perfect.

Hair Color

Still brown and finally growing back in. He lost some hair in the first month that gave him an automatic mo-hawk abut it's gradually growing back. 

Eye Color

Still blue and his lashes are growing so fast. I'm happy to see he is going to have long lashes like my other 2 boys!!!!

Milestones

Giggles, smiles, giggles and more smiles.
Was baptized on 10/18/15

Started going to the same daycare Turner attends...doing great

Likes

Still obsessed with baths. I swear he looks forward to that time of day.
Love his brother too. Just stares at him and laughs at him too.
Loves to sit up (with assistance of course).
His play mat has become a place he loves to hang out.
Loves the birds that dangle on his bouncer

Dislikes

Hates when he moves so much int eh crib he gets 'stuck' because his foot is in crib bar

Hates being tired...lil' man loves his naps

Mama

Cried his first day at daycare, but only when I dropped off. Not because of mom guilt or that he wouldn't be loved there...but I didn't want him to be 'scared' of a whole new environment in one day. Of course I had nothing to worry about and he's adjusted so well. It's confirmed I am meant to be a working mom. Love going to work and doing what I love. My time home now is so much more precious with my boys.
