2 down

Here we are, another month gone by, and I cannot believe it!
I feel like an old pro at this parenting thing.
Some days are definitely a lot better than others, but I am loving watching this little baby turn into a little boy with a personality.
Its an amazing process!!

At 2 months, Carter is:

-12lbs
- 23 1/4 inches long
- wearing some newborn clothes, moving into 0-3 month stuff
- sleeping at least 4hrs a night, sometimes as much as 6 hours
- smiling and cooing a lot more
- still a redhead with blue eyes
- looking more and more like Dad every day
- staying awake for hours at a time during the day, sometimes all day
- wanting a soother to fall asleep with at night most nights
- wanting to stand all the time, which makes burping him on my lap very hard
- always swinging his hands
- holding his head up all the time
- sitting in his bumbo from time to time
- still not interested in hanging out with his play mat. It can hold his interest for about 5 mins
- loves all mobiles. He will cry when they stop moving
- still a puker
- moving into size 2 diapers
- too big for the bassinet in his playpen
