2 months old

Liam is 2 months old!!

check out that smile!

(in this pic I actually see some of my dad in that smile!)

• Liam has become quite the charmer this month, he gives some of the biggest smiles and cutest coos.
• His gas pains have gotten better and I no longer think it matters what I eat. I tried staying off dairy for almost a month and didn't see a change, I think his digestion system just needs to mature.
• He did have reflux and his pedi prescribed him medicine that has helped alot. He still has a few days where it flares up but for the most part he doesn't spit up as much or as often and doesn't seem in pain!
• I still think he may become a thumb sucker, he likes to suck on his fist but hasn't figured out how to put out his thumb yet.
• I have given in and let him sleep on his tummy. He is so much quieter and sleeps much more peacefully.
• He still isn't a big fan of the pacifier, but it does sometimes soothe him. He sleeps without it for most of the time.
• I can hardly believe he's already 2 months old! Today at his doc appt he weighed 12lbs12oz (putting him in the 90th percentile for weight) and was 22.5 inches long (60th percentile). Definitely a little chunk, I looked back and Avery was 11lbs1oz at 2months old! He also got his first shot but only cried till I picked him up, still heartbreaking to watch!
• He has gotten very strong lifting his head off the ground while on his tummy, he loves to look around and of course watch the ceiling fan.
• I have to say, this little guy is a great sleeper at night. The past 2 nights he slept from 9pm-5:30am!! His pedi said to let him sleep as long as he wants to at night since babies usually start sleeping through the night when they double their birth weight and he's almost there.
• His favorite spot is snuggled on someone's chest.
• Liam still likes his swing but we haven't been using it as much lately since I let him sleep on his tummy. He does tend to get fussy when he is tired and sometimes I just have to hold him tightly and bounce around and he'll go right to sleep.
• I am definitely not as scheduled with Liam as I was with Avery, I was very strict about her feeding times, waketimes and naptimes. I'm still trying to use the babywise (eat, play, sleep) cycle but the sleep part sometimes ends up in the car on the go! Hopefully as I get more used to 2 kiddos we'll get his schedule on track :)

Happy 2 month birthday Liam!
