2 Month Update & 2 Month Favorites

WOW! I cannot believe that little B is ALREADY 2 months old...where does the time go!! This has definitely been the hardest, greatest, most fun & challenging 2 months of my life I think but I wouldn't change it for the world! We absolutely love getting to know our little boy and being his parents! I never imaged JUST how awesome being a mom would be, I wouldn't change it for the world!! Here are some updates on little man!

  • At his 2 month check up appointment he weighed 12 lbs 6 oz (OMG Chunky boy! He weighed 6 lbs 14 oz at birth in case you want to calculate that yourself! lol) He was 22.4 inches long (19 inches at birthday).  So that makes him in the 76th percentile for weight and 38th percentile for height...short and chubby like his daddy lol.
  • He is now up to eating 4 oz about every 3 hrs or so
  • He sleeps about 4 hours at a time during the night before he wakes up and wants to eat...we still never get to bed most nights before 12...sometimes if we are lucky it's between 11-11:30 but that doesn't happen too often. (What I would give to be the hubby some nights just so I get to go to bed at 10 and sleep all night lol)
  • We get LOTS of smiles now...I absolutely love it! Totally makes worth being up super late and not getting much sleep worth it during the day when I get big smiles!
  • Everyone still says he looks like his daddy...poor kid haha just kidding. If you look at baby pictures he looks like both of us cause we were both chunky babies! lol
  • Pretty sure he's got his daddy's blue eyes (YES!!! I love them lol) everyone on my dad's side of the family has blue eyes too so I think he had a good chance lol.
  • I still have not mustered up the courage to put him in his bed at night...it's way on the other side of the house I just can't do it! lol especially with him still waking up at night it's much more comfortable for me to feed him in bed...and a part on the glider in his room broke and I can't find the replacement part!!! If anyone knows where to find replacement parts for Moash gliders let me know!
  • He also cooes and "talks" quite a bit...we have fun conversations during the day I tell ya! lol
  •  He only enjoys tummy time for just a little bit before he gets mad because he can't hold his head up very long yet and he doesn't like not being able to see. He LOVES to kick things...which usually happens to be my legs or computer when he is laying by me lol I really need to go find him some things to kick that make noise lol
  • He loooooves looking at fans & lights. I think bright colors are pretty fun for him too!
  • I am FINALLY going to start trying to lose the rest of the baby weight so there may be posts about that on here too!!
Now some 2 month favorites:

We still love our Boppy Pillow! It is also good for Tummy Time so he can look around lol 
Gripe Water
This stuff is GREAT to get rid of hiccups, you are suppose to give 2 of the droppers but his hiccups are usually gone after one dropper. It's a little expensive but we've had it for about a month so it's worth it (maybe not expensive to some but 10 bucks on a little 4 oz bottle of water is a bit ridiculous for my cheapness lol) It also works pretty well when his tummy hurts. But most definitely is awesome with those darn hiccups cause the make him so mad! lol


Tommee Tippe Pacifiers  
These are the binky's we have used from the beginning and he seems to really like them. I bought some Nuk ones yesterday because we needed one more so I didn't have to steal one from another place (we have one in the pack n play, one in his crib & one in his car seat & we needed one to just use around the house so one of the others didn't get lost in the process lol) the Nuk ones are pretty good too. I don't think he's too picky lol.

 Those are really the only things that I think are new this month from the last month favorites. If I think of anything else I will add them later!
Some of our favorite places to shop right now are Carters & Target, Carters stuff seems to always fit him really well and not be super baggy which drives me NUTS! lol We also like Resale shops and I am suuuuuuuuuper excited for the Rhea Lana (clicky the linky to check them out and see if they are coming close to you!) cosignment sale that is coming in a few weeks...TONS of great stuff for babies from furniture, clothes, bedding, pretty much ANYTHING you need for baby, toddler, & maternity. I got so much great stuff from the last one (I think I had about 2 bags full) and spent like $60 bucks! Can't beat that!!!
I'm gonna take some 2 month pictures tomorrow so those will be up soon!!
