2 months...

 

 

Jack had his two month appointment on July 10th and he did great!

 

 At two months (and 5 days) Jack is:

11 lbs 6 oz (22%)

 22 inches long (8%)

 

using size 1 diapers

still primarily in newborn sizes but a few 0-3 month clothes
breastfeeding and taking breast milk from a bottle at least once a day

slept 9 hours straight through the night for the first (and only) time!

he sleeps through the night here and there

consistently sleeping 4-5 hours at night

taking several naps (ranging from 45 min-3 hrs) throughout the day

starting to interact, coo and babble a little bit more every day

still loving his bath time

 

don't let the happy smiley pictures fool you though, the doctor confirmed he has colic-We are hoping he grows out of it soon!

his personality is starting to show a bit more and I think he may have inherited a stubborn streak...I will let you guess which parent that came from :)

The poor guy really did not tolerate his 2 month shots well at all. He spiked a fever and had diarrhea for daaaaaays after. Its safe to say Jack was not a fan :(

 even when he's crying he's still pretty darn cute



He is still a tiny little guy but starting to get a little bit squishier :)

 

Its crazy to think its been two months already. Everyone always tells you it goes fast but, wow, I never thought it would go so quickly.  I vividly remember doing everything I could to induce labor and meet this guy but at the same time everything since has been somewhat of a blur. It's a bit of a dichotomy I gues, it seems like just yesterday that he was born but at the same time I don't remember life without him. I am consciously trying to stop and take everything in while I can. I want to enjoy this time with Jack and Jim. I want Jack to get to know me and feel safe and secure and happy and all of those things, before I have to go back to work.  Never again will we get the chance to spend the summer all together like this so I am really wanting to make it as memorable as possible.  I am doing my best to take pictures and document our daily lives, the monotonous and the milestones. I don't want to miss a thing! Even with a crying, colicky baby Jack is the best thing that ever happened to me, and us. I can be utterly exhausted and at my wits end and all he has to do is smile or sigh and its all over. I would do absolutely anything for our little bubba and every time I think I can not love him more I look at him and know that I do.
