Carson's Two Month Update

My handsome little man is two months old, and I couldn't love this kid any more!!!  He is such a content, calm, and patient baby... But he's also a smiley little guy who is getting more 'talkative' each day.


Stats:
His 2-month checkup is later this week, but I am guessing he has passed 13 pounds. 
Size 2 diapers
Size 3 month clothes are getting pretty snug, so I think the 6 month clothing switch is going to happen this week
Longest stretch between feedings: 6.5 hours (he usually goes 5.5-6.5 hours for his first stretch each night!)
Eats about seven times in a 24-hour day, and makes every ounce count ;)
Guzzles 5 ounces in a bottle, sometimes more!
Not a huge fan of tummy time, but we're working on it

Carson is starting to work on drifting off to sleep on his own... I try when possible to put him down for naps and bed when he's very drowsy but not all the way out. He tolerates it very well most days.  With the help of his nuk, he loves to sleep!!

Nights are going well, and when he gets up to eat, he almost always goes right back down.  That's a relief!  And his fussy evenings seem to be behind us.  Although he is a little more needy in the evening, it's a huge improvement from the hour or two of scream we were getting!  I don't mind that he just needs a little more snuggling in the evenings, especially when he's calm about it!

He giggles now, and his smiles come a lot easier.  He is cheeriest right away in the morning after his belly is full.  He loves to coo, gurgle, and squeal for me.  And Cooper really got him going the other night--I can't wait to post that little video:)

He got to meet the 4th graders, daddy's colleagues, and the kids at daycare.  He makes everyone smile just by being his cute chubby self.

First trip to the mall.  He loved being snuggled in the stroller.  Here, he's smiling for grandma while his brother and  sister play in the germ pit.

Here is one of those morning smiles I got while we were 'chatting'

First trip to the zoo. He was only awake when it was time to eat... Imagine that.
