You've been in this world 2 months now! My how things have changed in just the last 4 weeks! I had a pretty hard time your first month, getting used to sleep deprivation and being alone while your dad was flying, but we've made great strides!
Your daddy drove us to Houston when you were 5 weeks old to spend the week with Oma and Opa. Your first road trip! You did awesome in the car! We had a great time meeting Oma's friends and showing you off. Your Oma and Opa loved spending all that time with you, and I loved having a break to nap! We even left you with Opa to babysit while we went out to get our nails done! :)
While staying in Houston I finally moved you out of our room to sleep! Your adorable little grunts and fusses were keeping both of us up all night (every time you made a noise I kept messing with you!) That was a big turning point for sleeping for you. You started having a "bedtime" around 8, and would sleep 4 hours followed by a couple of smaller stretches. Since we've been back home you now sleep anywhere from 4-7 hours at first (once you even slept 9!!!). You seem to like your room too and you loved to be rocked in grandma's yellow rocking chair!
Another big milestone was you finally sleeping in your crib! Your daddy and I had tried a few times before to get you to sleep in your crib but you just weren't ready! Finally at about 8 weeks I put you down for the night and you slept just fine! We haven't looked back since.
Napping Is still hit or miss, but if we go out during the day your sure to fall asleep in the car and nap while I run errands! Your so easy to be out with, I swear you prefer to be out then to be at home!!! You also LOVE to be outside. While we were at Oma's house we spent a lot of time on the patio, and it would always calm you down! So now at home we have at least 1 outside time a day on our patio! Unless we're outside shopping or eating.
My favorite thing from the last month was your first smile!!! It was around 6 weeks and you smiled so big at the couch! I'm sure it was unintentional but it just made me cry with happiness!!! Around weeks 7 and 8 they have become "social smiles", when you see us or something you like! They are so precious and melt my heart!!!
You had your 2 month appointment this week, where you got 3 shots :(. You did great though and only cried for a few seconds! The nasty oral vaccine made your tummy upset though.
Stats:
11 lbs- 30%
21.5 inches- 30%
I can't believe your already 2 months old, time is flying and I fall more in love with you every single day!!! You are such a miracle and a blessing to your daddy and I!!! I love you so much!
Love,
Mommy
