Sawyer is 2 months old today!! How is that even possible?!? He has grown & changed so much this past month so brace yourself for a long post & picture overload!
We started our day extra early today because his 2 month check-up was at 8:30 this morning! We got the monthly mini photo shoot over with before we left for the doctors office...
He didn't want to cooperate with me all too well, he was more interested in looking at the wall than the camera. This is how he was feeling at the end of the shoot...
Here are the stats from today's appointment:
Weight: 10 lbs 8.6oz (25th percentile)
Height: 22 3/4 inches (44th percentile)
Head circumference: 15 inches
Dr. B says you are right where you should be & look great!
MiMi (my mom) went with us to the appointment today because you had to get your first round of vaccines & I don't think I could have handled it on my own! One of the vaccines was an oral solution so you didn't mind that at all, but Ms. Ashley had to poke you 3 times for the others. MiMi helped hold you still while I looked out the window :) You barely cried after the first stick, but with the second stick (2 needles on 1 syringe) you let out a much bigger, more pitiful cry :( It did not last long though, as soon as Ms. Ashley put the band-aid on, MiMi picked you up and snuggled you & you went right to sleep!
Here are some of the things you've been up to the past month:
You celebrated your first Christmas...
and New Years...
You have really started to smile & "talk" alot which is probably the cutest thing ever! You love, love, love to be talked to!
You like playing on your activity mat. You swing your arms & are able to hit the rattle that hangs down from the middle. It also has a mirror on it that you like looking at...
You are such a strong boy & hold your head up really well. You are able to sit up in your Bumbo seat for a couple minutes at a time...
- you are wearing size 1 diapers
-you are eating 4-5 oz. of formula every 3-4 hours during the day & 6 oz. at bedtime
-you sleep about 5-6 hours straight during the night
- I don't have you on a strict schedule but we have a pretty good routine. You wake up sometime between 6 & 8 and have a bottle, it really just depends on when you get to bed at night & when you have had your middle of the night bottle. After your breakfast bottle, you stay awake and play in the swing or on the activity mat while mommy does some house cleaning. Then we play some more, either I will sit & talk with you or hold you while we dance to music videos :) After all that, you will take a bottle around 10-11am then lay down for a long nap (3-4 hours). When you wake up, its bottle/play & repeat. I start giving you your bedtime bottle about 8:30pm. Sometimes you go right to sleep after, other times you will lay in the bassinet and look around & kick & coo until you fall asleep.
-You are still sleeping in the bassinet next to our bed
-You can still wear some of your newborn outfits but mostly you wear size 0-3 month clothes
-We've started giving you gas drops when you need them. I usually alternate gas drops & gripe water
-You still get the hiccups once or twice a day
-You sometimes spit up a lot after a bottle, I asked Dr. B today about it & he says it sounds like your doing ok & doesn't believe you have reflux, babies just spit up he says
-We tried you on some thicker formula earlier this month for that, but it really messed your tummy up so we went back to just regular formula (Similac Advance)
-You recognize mine & daddy's voices
- You will follow us across the room with your eyes if we walk past you
-I trimmed your nails this week for the first time but you woke up this morning with 2 new scratches on your face so I may need to file them some
-Another SUPER CUTE thing that has happened -You've discovered your tongue! You will just be laying there sometimes sticking your tongue in & out. You will also mock daddy & me when we stick our tongue out at you! Seriously, its THE cutest thing ever!!
Sawyer, how are you already 2 months old?!?! You have grown & changed so much over the past month its unreal. You are much more active & playful. Your little personality is really starting to come out. Talking & playing with you & watching your expressions is so fun! Some people like to say you are spoiled, I say you just love your momma ;)
Daddy & I love you most!!
xoxo - the Barnett's
