My monkey is two months old!
I cannot believe that it has been TWO months already since Connor was born!
Time with him really is flying by.
He is such a happy baby and we're having so much fun watching him grow and develop.
His personality and likes / dislikes with facial expressions are just now starting to come out and he loves to chat chat chat!
I love it and could listen to him coo and watch him smile all day long!
Here are some two month stats:
- Weight: 11 lbs 11 oz (50 percentile for age)
- Height: 22 1/4 (25 percentile for age)
He had is check up yesterday and his pediatrician said "he's perfect"! We already knew that, but I'm allowed to think that since I'm his mommy :)
He got his first set of shots and he was less than thrilled about that. He's been pretty quiet and sleepy since getting them but even with shots he's a happy camper.
Aunt Kiks went to the dr. with us and had fun playing with Connor while we waited!
Singing with mommy and auntie kiks...
Here's what else Connor has been doing in his second month of life!
- Wearing Size 1 diapers
-Wearing Size 3 month clothes!
- Eating 5 - 6 oz in each bottle (he loves to eat!)
- Sleeping from 8 or so at night and wakes once around 3:30 a.m. then again around 8 a.m. (lately he's added in a 5:30 wake up... not sure what that's about but I hope it stops soon!)
- Takes a short nap in the morning but long naps in the afternoon
- He LOVES his glowing seahorse and now loves his little projector with elephants on it that puts images of animals on the ceiling!
- LOVES bathtime and just started moving his feet in the water. We've also removed the newborn support now (such a big boy!) so his feet really can splish and splash now :)
- Celebrated his first Christmas and rang in the New Year with mommy and daddy at home
-Met his great-grandparents for the first time! He just loves his Great Gran'ma.
- Met three of his cousins from South Africa! He loved Leanne, Warwick and Cayla! (we had such a fun time with them here)
- Had his first cold. We were all three sick at the same time... NOT fun and glad that's over.
-Was spoiled and loved while he stayed at Nana's house for a couple of nights while mommy and daddy went to Dallas to watch the Aggies play in the Cotton Bowl!
- His Favorite Songs: The Wheels on the Bus and Pat-a-Cake
Overall we've been busy bee's this past month. We also go to a mommy's bible study and have made new friends! We have a playgroup once a month that we've only gotten to a couple of times, but hope to be there next time!
My message to Connor this month:
Happy 2nd month of life, Connor Bear! You light up our world and bring so much joy to our family and everyone around you. I'm so thankful for you. I'm thankful that my body carried you and kept you healthy and strong. I'm thankful for this time of being at home with you. I hope you always know how much you're loved and feel special every day! Even though I don't want you to get bigger, keep growing big and strong and keep those smiles coming. They just melt our hearts!
