Our little man is growing up SO quickly! Here are some of his milestones at two months:
WEIGHT: 11 lbs 15 oz (25-50th percentile)
HEIGHT: 23 1/4 inches long (50-75th percentile)
HEAD: 39 cm (25-50th percentile)
EYES: still very dark blue, but lightening up a tiny tiny bit
HAIR: light brown with a hint of strawberry blond. BUT there is a ton of white peach fuzz sprouting all over his head so I have a feeling it will lighten up soon.
SLEEP: he only wakes up one time at night! (he slept one time through the night but woke up dehydrated so I don't think we're going to push for that just yet). And now that he's eating more, he's napping like a champ! (for now, at least)
SMILES: Regular, abundant, and to DIE for. He's been smiling since he was 4 weeks!
DIMPLES: three, if you count the one in his chin. Also to DIE for.
GIGGLES: One. It was at daddy doing the robot... which WAS pretty hilarious
GRUNTS: fewer and fewer every day : (
EYELASHES: exactly 16 billion, 9 hundred thousand and 72.
SCOOTING: all over his crib all the time.
VOICE: He talks to me regularly...we have lengthy philosophical conversations. But his favorite thing to do is SING with me! He will literally try to mimic the song I'm singing to him. We make quite the duet.
FINGERS: he has found them! He sucks on them (usually in a fist), he's figured out how NOT to scratch himself (usually), he can hold on to a toy, and he loves holding mommy's hand while I feed him.
FRIENDS: the birds hanging from his bouncy seat, the lights on his gym, the mobile hanging above his crib, the baby on the Huggies package, and of course Mommy and Daddy.
STRENGTH: We have GI Joe for a baby. The Doctor was VERY impressed with his neck strength (which has been incredible since the day he was born), and was astounded that he's trying to roll over already. His kicks are even harder now that he's out of the womb, but he still loves to kick mommy in the ribs!
TICKLISH: Very.
Trey had is two month immunization shots this week:
My poor baby!! But he handled it like a champ!
Mommy after two months:
I can't believe my baby is two months old! And what a roller coaster these two months have been. I absolutely LOVE being Trey's mommy!! There is nothing in this world that makes me happier than his smile. I never thought I could be so willing to make a complete fool out of myself just to get a little grin! Even in the middle of being fussy, if I smile at him... he'll stop and smile back at me. He is such a happy baby and I feel so blessed that he is so healthy. I know it's ridiculous, but I even miss him when he sleeps for a long time. I don't know how I'm going to handle going back to work NEXT WEEK. Thank goodness it's only 2 days a week. I just ADORE my little man! (and my BIG man too!)
Daddy after 2 months:
We all know that Trey LOOKS exactly like Tyson, but he also ADORES his daddy as well! When Tyson comes home, Trey's eyes lock on him and do not leave him the rest of the evening. He watches everything that Ty does, and will smile at him, even when Ty's back is turned! It just melts my heart to see my two boys! Tyson is handling daddyhood very well, especially now that we're starting to get into a little bit of a routine and Trey's interacting and "talking" to us. Ty is taking his final actuarial test on Nov. 3rd, so he is studying a LOT, working hard all day, and still comes home every night to take care of his family. He is one incredible man! Although his new favorite joke is that he's "going out for a pack of cigarettes..."* Not funny Ty, not funny.
* No, Tyson does not smoke. He's insinuating that he is "going out for a pack of cigarettes..." and not ever coming back. Yeah, THAT'S his sense of humor!
