2 Months Old

Chesney you are two months old already! Where did the time go!?! In the last month you have grown and changed so much.


Here is what you are up to at 2 months:

• Weight: 8 lbs 11 oz (6.39th percentile)
  
• Length: 23 inches (74.73th percentile)
  
• Clothes: You are still wearing newborn clothes but you are getting so long that you are almost ready to move into the 0-3 month size. You wear a lot of dresses and bows in your hair.
• Shoes: Your newborn shoes are still a little big but we have you wear them once in a while. You usually kick them off within a few minutes but we just keep putting them back on.
• Diapers: Newborn size
• Food: Still just milk. This month you drank from a bottle for the first time when daddy watched you one night while I went out with some friends. We now take a bottle with us whenever we need to go somewhere. It especially works well in church.
• Development: You cracked your first smile on April 30 and since have been smiling more and more. You now smile back at us when we smile at you. And you usually give daddy a few big smiles when he comes home at night. You are also cooing a lot. You love to have little conversations with us and sometimes even a little squeal will slip out. Lastly, you are now moving your arms and legs so much that you hit the toys in your gym. You love to play under your gym!
• Words: None 
• Sleep: You usually sleep for 4.5 to 8 hour stretches. We are getting longer stretches in the last week. You're not a big fan of napping during the day but once in a while we get a 1-2 hour nap from you. Otherwise you just catch a few minutes of shut-eye every now and then.
• Teeth: None yet
  
• What I love about you: I love your smile, especially when we get the open mouth smile...your entire face lights up. I love it when you lay your head on my shoulder. I love how you stop crying when you see me or when I pick you up out of your carseat or after a nap. And I love talking to you.
