2 months

Judah turned 2 months old on November 21st.. so yes, this post is way late.  But I wanted to wait until his two month appointment so I would have his weight and length stats.  I did take his pictures right at 2 months though.

My big 2 month old now weights 15.2 pounds and is 23 1/2 inches long.  He is such a good baby.  He is very happy and smiley all the time.  He has started doing lots of cooing and “talking”.  We have little conversations now.  He is very strong!  He has started being able to support his head very well on his own.  He can lift his head and shoulders off the ground during tummy time.  He has even rolled over twice!  The first time he rolled over was November 26th.  I laid him in his crib awake and then watched on the monitor.  He went from tummy to back.  I couldn’t believe it! 

Judah man is also sleeping very well for us now.  He slept through the night for the first time on November 12th.  It was our first night in the new place.  He actually slept for almost 10 hours!  Every night since then he sleeps for anywhere from 6 to 10 hours at a time.  He takes several short naps throughout the day as well.  It is completely wonderful! 

Judah’s favorite things right now are lights and ceiling fans, his daddy, and his play mat.  He loves trying hard to hit and grab onto the toys that hang down.

Our big boy is wearing 3 months clothes and is almost too long for the sleepers already.  He just moved into size 2 diapers and size 3 at night.  We have been using cloth diapers a good bit too… but just recently he had a bad diaper rash, so I switched him to disposables so I could coat him in diaper cream and baby powder!  Judah eats 6 ounce bottles now every 3 or 4 hours throughout the day.  He gets 1 tablespoon of rice cereal in his bedtime bottle.  Then he may wake up once at night to eat as well, but usually he doesn’t.

He has been pretty healthy during his second month.  He did have a little cold for a few days.  I had to suction his nose out every day which he HATED!  He would get so mad!  He also developed thrush again, so we are treating that now.

Today at his doctor’s appointment he did so good!  He was flirting a little with the doctor :).  He was cooing and smiling the whole time until he had to get his shots.  Even after shots he only cried for about one minute until he was picked up and cuddled.  As soon as we made it to the car he was fast asleep.

I cannot get over how fast my baby boy is growing.  He seems so big and so smart already.  I know this is just the beginning!  But he has changed so much in the past month.

I love him to the moon and back!
