Two Months Old

Owen, you are already 2 months old! You are such a sweet baby and we love you so much. We are proud of you and all that you are learning how to do.

At 2 months old, you...

-Get to stay home with Daddy every day when Mommy goes to work. You are so lucky to have a Daddy who stays home with you and takes such good care of you!

-Have definitely learned how to eat and are doing a great job of nursing and taking a bottle. When Mommy is at work and Daddy gives you a bottle, you easily take 4 oz. You are growing so fast!

-At your 2 month appointment, you weighed 11 pounds, 13 ounces and were 23 inches long! We are pretty sure that you are going to be taller than Mommy and Daddy very quickly:)

-You had your 2 month shots and they made you uncomfortable and sort of cranky for a few days, but you handled them like a trooper

-You are now wearing 3-6 month onesies (because of how long you are and because of your glorious diapers:)) and mostly 3 month pants and sleepers

-You usually go 3-4 hours between feedings, and at night, you sometimes go 4-6 hours between feedings. Sometimes you eat at 7:00 before you go to bed, then at 1:00 a.m., and then at 6:00 or 7:00 again.

-You still sleep in your bassinet next to Mommy and Daddy's bed and are getting much better at sleeping on your back. You like to be swaddled with your arms in when you sleep. You also like sleeping with your pacifier but wake up when it falls out.

-You are much happier having your diapers changed and feel much better after you have a clean diaper.

-You started smiling! At first, you would only smile every few days, but lately, you smile several times every day, especially when Mommy and Daddy talk to you

-You really love bath time now and have discovered how to splash your legs around. Mommy calls you a maniac in the bathtub:)

-You have started to enjoy your swing and bouncer and will sit in them for a while when Mommy and Daddy need to get things done around the house

-You've gone on your first trip to Grandma and Grandpa's houses and were spoiled rotten. You are very blessed to have so many people who love you so much

When we look back at your pictures from the past 2 months, we see how much you really have changed. We thank God for blessing us with you and are so thankful that we get to be your parents. We love you!
