Brady 2 months

Brady,

You are growing so fast my love!  At your 2 month check up, you weighed in at 12 pounds and measured 24 1/4 inches long!  You are in size 1 diapers and are in 3-6 month clothing.  We love your chunky cheeks, your chunky thighs, and your fat tummy!  You are filling out!



You are eating 8 times a day every 2-3 hours.  You like to cluster feed right before you go to sleep every 2 hours.  You are a good eater and you usually finish between 25-30 minutes. 

We have started you on a routine where you eat, are awake, and then take a nap.  You do so great with this routine, except at night time!  At this age, your brother would fall asleep at 8ish and you want to stay up until 10-10:30 no matter how hard we try!  We think you will be our night owl and your big brother is our early bird. 


You have started cooing, smiling so much, and even giggled this month!  You love to follow people with your eyes and to find the person you hear talking.  You are such a sweetie and are so fun to have a conversation with. 


You are such a mover!  You were quite the little gymnast in mommy's tummy and you have continued since birth!  When we put you on your tummy, you can already lift your head up and you look like a rocking horse with your feet in the air.  While on your back, you kick so much that it is impossible to keep a blanket on you, which isn't a big deal right now since it is so hot outisde!



You have begun liking your baths this month.  You could be in the worst mood and then right when we put you in the water, you instantly get calm and start looking around.  It is so cute. 

Something else that we are noticing about you is you get really bad gas.  You don't burp easily, get so mad when you have to fart, spit up a lot, and you have had quite a few poop explosions.  Lately, you and I have gone through quite a few outfit changes.  We think this may be one of the reasons you have a hard time going to sleep sometimes.  I know the older you get, the better your stomach will get at handling what's being fed into it. 


This month, you got to meet mommy's Grandma Emily and my Aunt Marlene and Uncle John.  They loved getting to hold you.

You have such a sweet demeanor and really only cry if you are hungry, tired, or gassy.  We all love you so much, including your big brother who loves to give you hugs and kisses.  You are such an amazing addition to our family and we can't wait to watch you grow every day!
