Hudson is 2 Months Old!

 Three Days (6 pounds 4 ounces, 19.75 inches)
 One Week
 Two Weeks
 Three Weeks
One Month (7 pounds 14 ounces, 21 inches)
Two Months
  • At his appointment, he was 10 pounds 12 ounces, (25th percentile), 21.25 inches long (5th percentile), and has a 38.5 cm head circumference (25th percentile)
  • He officially has reflux, a suspected dairy intolerance, and thrush, so we're on medicine for a couple weeks and Mommy doesn't get to have dairy for at least a month
  • He eats about every 3 hours on average for about 20 minutes (or when he's bottle-fed, it comes to be about 4 ounces)
  • He's wearing size 1 diapers (though the Huggies are almost too small) and clothes in both 3 months and a few3-6 month sizes.  I haven't bought him new shoes yet, but I think he's going to be in a size 2 before too long.
  • Nights are starting to be more for sleeping with a couple feedings thrown in there - usually around 11, 3, 5, 7.  Days are starting to be more awake time with a good 2-3 hour nap around lunchtime and again in the late afternoon
  • Everything is starting to go in the mouth and induce major drooling (Mommy cut her first tooth at 3.5 months, so it may not be too far off for us now).  We haven't started on cereal or baby food yet (recommendation is now 6 months), but he is starting to sit at the table with us for meals in his high chair and we're letting him taste foods that we're eating.  His favorites are sweets so far (Mimi's icing and syrup are the best)
  • Tummy time still makes Hudson fall asleep pretty quickly, but he's gotten very good at controlling his neck and trunk, so I'm not too worried about it.  We need to start working on rolling from belly to back, but it'll likely wait until we establish a better sleep routine.
  • Hudson has started napping in his crib if I put him on his belly (which means I'm pretty constantly watching him), but mostly he's sticking to his little swing, the carseat, or in someone's arms.
  • Smiling, laughing and cooing are starting to occur as non-spontaneous instances now - not necessarily at the time of the stimulus, but around the same time, so I'm going to tell myself they're related.  Seems like every day he's learning something new or changing in some noticeable way - crazy to watch it happen!
Happy 2 months, little Monkey - Momma and Daddy love you!!
