Two Months

Greyson - you are TWO months old!  Here's what you're up to now.

Weight:

You weigh a little over 12 pounds, around 12.4 pounds according to our scales at home...still packing on the weight! Your thighs are chunky and I love it! We go to the doctor next week so I will know better stats then.

Height:

I tried measuring you earlier. You are somewhere around 22 1/2 inches. I think you have really grown a lot lately. Your pajamas are getting to be tight on your feet.

Clothing Size:

 You wear mostly 3-6 month clothes. You have a few 0-3 month shirts that you can wear. It is a little weird though, you can barely fit into 3 month pajama onesies, 6 month fits perfect, and I am thinking before long you will be able to wear some 9 months! (I'm hoping this is a sign you are going to be tall!) 

Diapers:

  You are still in a size 1. I am guessing we will be moving up to size 2 before long though!

Feeding:

You're eating about 5 times a day now (sometimes 6, depending on what time you get up). It is hard to tell exactly how much you are eating since we are still primarily nursing. I have started a few times a week giving you a bottle at night of formula and nurse you, too. I am guessing you are eating about 6 ounces per feeding, and at night probably closer to 7 oz. 

Hair/Eyes:

You still have a head full of black hair! I love it! People always comment on how much hair you have! Your eyes are a pretty blue! They aren't a bright blue, but they seem to be getting a little lighter!

Sleep:

You are becoming a great sleeper.  You go to sleep at about 9 at night and sleep until about 2 or 3, eat and go right back down until almost 7! The past few nights you have slept until 5, ate and gone back down until almost 9!  You also usually take 2 naps a day, probably around 1 to 1 1/2 hours each.  Moms on Call  has has worked for us!

Fun Stuff:

- You've really started to smile a lot! Especially when you hear either me or your daddy's voice. You have laughed a few times and it is the sweetest laugh ever! I wish I could catch it on video but you always stop. 

 -You are very observant. If there is a ceiling fan in the room, you immediately look at it and won't take your eyes off of it!

- Tummy time is getting a little better. You have rolled over one time but I am pretty sure it was on accident! You can prop your head up and turn side to side really well! It's only a matter of time and you will be rolling over all the time!

-You have really gained a lot of control over your head. When someone is holding you, you don't look quiet as much like a bobble head! 

-You're trying to talk to us a little bit!  You like to give a few good yells and "talk" to us. Sometimes we are talking to you and sometimes you do it on your own. I love that you are content when someone isn't holding you- not always, but majority of the time. It makes doing things around the house a little easier. 

-You love your white noise machine. We have it on all night for you and I bought another one that stays in your carseat and pack-n-play with you! It is an answered prayer for when you need to be soothed!

-I can't believe how big you're getting! The past week or two I have noticed how big you have become!

You are so wonderful and so perfect! Your daddy and I often talk about how amazing it is to be your parents! 

We pray that you will grow to be a healthy strong boy (and I pray you will be tall! ha), but most importantly, we both pray that you will grow to be a man of God. That you will let Jesus into your heart and strive to be like him in your everyday life!

We love you, sweet Greyson!
