Watch Me Grow: 2 Months

Carson hit the 2-month milestone last week and had his 2-month check up this week.

I can't believe how much he is growing up! Sounds silly for a newborn, because he is still pretty small, can't walk or even sit up, but his development is ever-changing. This child is extremely alert it blows my mind.

Carson, you are learning to talk make noise, use your hands and fool your momma. You have a fake cry and enjoy using it to your advantage. You babble and coo constantly, and love to bat and smile at the hanging toys of your play mat. You've even started to hold and grip things like your paci, a toy handle or the edges of a blanket.

It's amazing what entertains you. You will watch and smile at the spinning toys on the swing for a good hour until you put yourself to sleep. It's so cute.

Now that you can see 6 to 8 feet and in full color, you can track me moving around the room. My heart just melts when you don't take your eyes off of me. You are becoming more independent every day.

Carson's 2-month stats:

Weight: 11 lbs. 4 oz. (35th percentile)
Height: 23.5 inches (70th percentile)
Head Circumference: 15.5 inches

In the Closet: 0-3 months, but quickly outgrowing this size due to length

Diapers: Size 1

Grub: Breast milk exclusively

Sleep: Sleeping through the night! About 7-8 hours.

New Activity/Development: Cooing, batting at toys, starting to hold things

Loves: His paci, activity gym, watching basketball with daddy, and the boob:)

Didn't know it was possible to love so unconditionally.

Oh, did I mention that you are sleeping through the night!? Woo hoo! We actually decided to stop breaking the rules of allowing you to sleep with us. We now place you in your crib asleep and you are doing great! 

Big Boy, you got your first shots. Oh man, was it tough to watch! Not gonna lie, I cried like a little baby. I hated seeing you like that. You also had a major meltdown that night, cried uncontrollably for a good amount of time.

Whew. Glad we got through that. Do I really have to watch you get shots every appointment from now until 2 years old?

Big boy and his band aids:(

Daddy and I were questioning where you went, but you returned a few days later, happy as can be!

I love you child.
