Since my last post at 5 weeks you really have become so much more alert. We have started putting you in your booster seat in the kitchen with us while we make dinner and you love looking around. Mainly you like looking at your mommy and daddy, but you are kind of partial to the lights and the ceiling fan too.
You are awake more during the day and sleeping more and more at night. You still have one waking period about 2 a.m. Good news is that you eat and go right back to sleep until 5 a.m. Big thank you from your mommy. During the day you just kind of nap at your lesiure with a good hour or so nap around 11 and another one around 2.
Tummy time is your least favorite time of the day, but you have an extremely strong neck. You have mainly grown this stregth by sleeping on mommy and daddy's chests. This is your favorite spot for sleep other than your bubble seat. I hope to break that soon.
Your current stats are 8 pounds 6 ounces. We weighed you with a fishing scale from Great Grandmother and Great Grandaddy Hughes. And 20 inches or so long. You were quite a wiggle worm for me to measure you with a sewing tape. You are still wearing NB and 0-3 month clothes and they aren't looking as huge on you anymore. We have started using size 1 diapers but they are still on the big side. We have completely given up on gowns for you because you are too restless to keep them on. It has been a disaster each time we have tried to use them. You are still on breastmilk and eat 2-4 ounces every 3 hours.
Like I said before, mommy had to go back to work. I don't know who it traumatized more, me or you. You are going to a great sitter. Her name is Patty and she takes great care of you. I call EVERYDAY. I know you will get used to it but as for now you cry pretty much all day. You hate it. Mommy hates it. And Daddy hates it. Mommy cried for about the first week everyday, but I am starting to get used to things and we are both getting into a routine.
I love being your mommy. I smile so much more now that you are here in my life. God has really blessed me with a beautiful miracle and we thank Him everyday for you.
Here are some of my recent favorite pictures:
Uncle Andrew came to visit you especially.
This was your first swimming adventure. You loved it and didn't want to get out.
This was you chilling outside at the pool.
Tuckered out from your big day!
Your official 2 month picture! You are such a cutie.
No words can explain how much we love you!
