2 months (and 1 day!!)

My little Whitt is the sweetest baby in the whole world! So what is he up to these days??

-You are wearing a size 1 diaper (but are just about to bust out)!

-I unofficially weighed you today! I can't get you in for your 2 month check up until Dec. 8. By then, you will be almost 3 months! So, I weighed myself and then weighed us together! And from my calculation, you are a whopping 12 lbs!!!! You were fully clothed, but still....you are a big boy!! Cooper was 10 lbs. at 2 months! It's safe to say, that you are a healthy little guy!!

-After about a week and a half of screaming bloody murder from about 11-1 a.m. for unknown reasons, we are pretty sure we have narrowly escaped the curse of colic. You are such a happy baby now! You only fuss when you are hungry or tired!

-You are sleeping through the night...WHAT?!?! Yes, that's right! My sweet butterball can sleep from 11-7! You don't do it every night, but we had 3 nights in a row this week! If you do wake up, you only wake up once to eat a really quick meal! I'm pretty sure it's because you have some extra "fluff" to keep you from getting too hungry in the middle of the night! However, you do make up for it because you eat about every 2 hours during the day! You go from "mommy" to the bottle (with mommy's milk) very well! You don't care where your milk comes from...as long as you get to eat!!

-You are SMILEY SMILEY SMILEY (when you're awake)!!! You love to smile and talk to Mommy and Daddy...or whoever will talk to you! Your little personality has definitely emerged this past week!

-You are trying so hard to find your thumb! You still take a paci, but when you are finished sucking, you don't want anything to do with it!

-You love to be held and snuggled, but when you're done...you're done and prefer to be put down! You are so happy in your bouncy seat....as long as you can see us! You don't like to be left alone in a room by yourself and will protest until someone comes and talks to you!

-You are still a fairly sleepy little baby! Because you have a big brother that Mommy has to tend to, we haven't really worked on a nap "schedule" yet! You sleep on and off in the car seat, swing, and bouncy seat! Because we had that terrible scare not too long ago, I have been afraid to lay you flat on your back to sleep. You were spitting up and choking any time you were on your back, so we decided to let you sleep in your bouncy seat for a few weeks! You are doing much better now, so it's time to wean you out of that and let you sleep in your crib! Yikes...but we've gotta do it! I'm going to start with naps first...and then we will start trying it out at night!


-Your big brother absolutely adores you! You are a lucky guy!!! He loves to hold you, kiss you, love on you and talk to you! When you are not in the room, he asks where you are. If you are crying, he immediately lets me know that you are hungry or mad or that you need your paci! I pray that you are good friends one day!

-I can't believe you have already been with us for 2 months! But at the same time, I can't remember life without you!

You are a whole lotta cute!!! I love you sweet baby boy!
