You are getting so big! I love looking at pictures of you from when we were in the hospital because it's hard to remember you that small. You used to fit inside my tanktop! There's no way you could do that now. You've come so far, sweet pea, and we are so incredibly proud of you.
Adjusted Age: 2 months
Weight: 11lbs 11oz (5 %ile term scale)
Length: 23.5 inches (10 %ile term scale)
Head Circumference: 16.25 inches (84 %ile term scale)
Diaper Size: Size 1 We will probably have to move you up a size in the next couple weeks.
Clothing Size: 0-3 months are fitting just perfect. It's amazing what a difference a month makes and how much you've grown!
Diet: You are eating just under 5 ounces every 3 hours. You are getting even better at breastfeeding. Sometimes I can even trick you and ditch the nipple shield. I hope we can stop using it by the end of next month. I'm still having supply issues (even though I've tried just about everything I know of to get it up) so you get about two bottles of high calorie formula a day. Your Doctor says that this month we can transition to regular formula since you are growing nice and big.
Sleep: You take one long nap (1.5-2 hours) a day and the rest of the time you take a bunch of short 20 minute naps. You are pretty much sleeping through the night and only have a night-time feeding every once in awhile. You do, however, wiggle your arms out of your swaddle which wakes you up around 4:30 am and then you want to be in Mom and Dad's bed for the rest of the night.
Baby Gear Love: You love your swing, bouncy seat, Moby wrap, activity mat, and fishy toy, and the ceiling fan. You are into playing now, which has been so fun to watch!
Milestones/Firsts: Your neck muscles are getting stronger everyday! It's much easier for you to keep your giant head at mid-line now which means even better head control. You are smiling and laughing, which we LOVE so much! You are starting at bat at toys on your activity mat too. You love to babble and have conversations with Mom and Dad.
Likes: Eating, singing smiling, laughing, the ceiling fan (you could watch it for hours), snuggling with Mom and Dad, playing, rocking, and warm baths
Dislikes: Being stopped at red lights, and not getting fed fast enough.
Things I Don’t Want to Forget: How big/small you are. You seem so huge to us, especially considering where you started, but I know in only a few sort months it'll be difficult to remember you being this small. Every month is so different; you grown and learn exciting new things. My Momma's heart says you are growing up too fast. Next thing I know you'll be in high school.
