Leave it to the Weavers: Two Months

Emory, you are two months old today!

I can't believe another month has gone by so quickly!

We had your two month check up on February 25th (you were just shy of 7 weeks old)!

Stats:

Weight: 11 lbs 11 oz (90th percentile)

Length: 22 3/4 inches (90th percentile)

Although I couldn't wait to see how much you had grown, I dreaded your first set of shots! I made Daddy go with me because I didn't want to be the one to hold you down. It went so much better than I expected. Before you could even cry good I had the bottle in your mouth. I gave you Tylenol afterwards and every 4 hours for the rest of the day and you were fine. Dr. Ellison said you looked perfect!

Waiting patiently to see Dr. Ellison

Daddy giving you a pep talk before your shots!

Poor little hams :(

Eating: We switched formulas again this month. You never seemed content, always fussed, wouldn't nap, and constantly wanted to eat: this Mama knew something was wrong! I called the pediatrician's office and Dr. E seemed to think you may have a little reflux or a cow's milk allergy so we switched your formula to Similac Alimentum and started given you Zantac three times a day. LIFESAVER! You're a completely different baby. I'm just sad it took us this long to figure it out. Besides making you and your little belly happy, there is nothing good about this new milk. It smells awful, taste awful (to me anyway.. you don't seem to mind at all), and is very pricey! You're now eating 5 oz every 3 hours and you are serious about your milk! Girlfriend you LOVE to eat.

Sleep: You're still a great sleeper and we're so thankful for that! You started sleeping consistently through the night at about 7 weeks old. You're still sleeping in our room but we did move you to the pack n play this month. We have a pretty solid bedtime routine that starts around 9 p.m.: bath, lotion, bottle, swaddle, rock, and in bed by 10:30. You still hate your swaddle but I'm convinced it's the only reason you sleep through the night! We're hoping to move you to your crib soon, we're just waiting on our video monitor to come in.

Sizes: We just moved you to size two diapers. You were starting to leak out of your size ones. You're wearing all 3 month clothing and they fit you well.

Play: You have a little mirror above your play gym and you found yourself in it this month. It's the cutest thing I've ever seen! You smile SO big when you see yourself. You love to kick your feet and move your arms all around. You don't like tummy time very much at all but we'll keep trying!
