2 Months Old

Time is flying, Ethan is 2 months old already. I'm still home full time but that time is ending soon. We are getting into a bit of a routine now which is great. He sleeps and naps in his crib, otherwise big sister likes to wake him up!

He smiles and laughs now, you can see his dimples are adorable! I just want to squish him, he's so sweet and mellow. He isn't going any longer then 4-5 hours between feedings but I'm hoping one day soon! He goes to bed at 7 and we feed him usually twice before getting up for the day around 8-9. Now if only Audrey would sleep until then...

He's eating 6 oz bottles now and only formula. He likes ceiling fans, the piano play mat, being held, and baths. He doesn't dislike too much other then being hungry! He's awake a bit more now, and taking 2-3 naps a day as long as we are home.

Big Guy is 1 Month

And big he is! At his 5 week pedi appointment he measured 12lbs and 24.25"!! Now we know why he eats so much! He's been taking 5 and 6 oz at a time recently and I was worried about over feeding him. The pedi said as long as he's not spitting up a ton, then he's probably just hungry.  

Right now Ethan
-- sleeps 4-5 hours at a time and we just started doing a "bedtime" with him around 7-8pm. He goes down in the RnP in our room and wakes up only to eat and then goes right back to sleep. Mostly. Sometimes he wants to cuddle after the 3am wake up.
-- eats 5-6oz every 3-4 hours
-- likes cuddling, tolerates tummy time, and narrowly avoids being injured by his over excited sister multiple times a day

The transition to 2 has been interesting and challenging. Audrey likes to help with him and when he cries she runs right over and says "Don't worry buddy. It's ok baby Ethan" with this concerned look on her face. It's adorable.
