Well this past Sunday, our little man turned 2 months old!!!
Yesterday we went to the doctor and this little chunk weighs 14 lbs 11oz!!! And he's 25 1/4 inches long!! 90th percentile and up!!
I'll be honest, life is a bit harder with 2 kids. And especially with a baby that the doctors think has acid reflux, colic, and tummy issues! (ALL 3!!!) So thats been hard. He sleeps about a 5 hour stretch at night for the past week. Which is a big progress from before. But he's always waking up because his tummy is hurting him. Poor thing. He cries a lot. A lot. Sometime I can get it under control, something we can't. Colic. Not fun. Sometime he's really fussy trying to eat. Acid reflux. Yuck.
So all that on top of having a normal 2 year old that throw tantrums and wants the attention over his brother. Fun times at our house.
The doctor said things should start looking better over the next few months. Most of it is something he'll outgrow. Just feel bad for the poor baby.
But the sweet boy is more alert these days. He's starting cooing and smiling at us. He definitely likes to snuggle on the couch or be held while we walk around. He likes his swing sometimes. Mostly when he's tired. He also like laying on his little mat and kicking and hitting the toys that hang down.
He isn't a huge fan of his nap nanny or his boppy seat. Honestly he'd rather just lay on the floor. But he has to be in a good mood for that, otherwise he wants to be held. He is starting to really like bath time too. He likes riding in the car, but only if the car is moving.
We dont venture out too much yet with him since flu season is in full effect. Really paranoid about him getting sick, so we have been hermit crabs as a family.
But we are slowly getting the hang of all this. We are tired, but this too shall pass!!
