Austin's 2 Month Milestones

Stats from your 2 month checkup:
Weight: 10lb 1z (14%) - moving on up the charts!
Length: 23 inches (51%) - you grew 2 1/4 inches in 1 month!

We had your 2 month checkup yesterday and you had to get 4 shots - poor little guy! Broke my heart. 

You've outgrown most of your newborn sized clothes and fit into about half of your 0-3 month clothes. They are still a little big, but the newborn sized clothes are too small. We just switched you to size 1 diapers.

Your neck is so strong. You hold your head up so well!

You are still a good eater and you continue to take a bottle from anyone. And you don't discriminate about the temperature - you will take it cold. 

We've started to get out more. You don't mind the carseat at all and usually fall asleep a few minutes after I put you in the carseat/stroller. You sleep while I walk/jog. We usually do a little run through target on our way home from walks to pick up any groceries we need. It's way easier to walk to the store vs. loading up the car and driving

You still sleep in your bucket in our room at night but you're about to be too big for it. For naps, you sleep all over the place - in your bouncer, in your bucket, in the bjorn. You are a great napper during the day - we've just got to work on that whole consistently sleeping through the night business.

If you have one, your witching hour is around 9 and will last until midnight or 1. It's hard to get you to sleep and to stay asleep but we know you are tired.You seem to eat every 3 hours in the morning/early afternoon, then every 2 in the late afternoon and evening. You smile at us and can track us across the room. You started smiling around 5 weeks and its the stinkin' cutest thing. Just a week or 2 ago I noticed that when I walk in the room you look and me and follow me with your eyes.

You are much more alert during your wake times and I can tell you are soaking in your surroundings.


You smile and stare at the toys on your playmat and will happily sit in your bouncer and stare at the toys or look around the house.

You still love to state at the ceiling fans. You always smile and coo at them. I think you're trying to tell them a story! 

This month you also had your first Thanksgiving and you also attended your first Christmas party!
We just love you to pieces and are having so much fun watching you learn and grow.
