2 Month Check In

Brad and I recently had a realization.... we haven't set an alarm clock since the night of December 27th.  This is not for the lack of early appointments, we just know that we'll always be up!

Now that Caden is 2 months old there are definite improvements in his sleep patterns, but they are still nothing to brag about.  He takes minimal cat naps during the day, leaving me just enough time to start something but not finish it.  At night, he is now sleeping from 7:30 - 5:00 with 2 night feedings and a couple of paci replacements or re-swaddles.

At the 2 month check-up he weighed 11 pounds and 5 ounces.  He is now 22.5 inches long.

Now for a few pics of our little alarm clock....

Don't let this yawn fool you, he's not looking to sleep anytime soon!

 

Sorry for the paci, but it's what makes him happy these days.  Very appropriate for his 2 month pic!

Stole the paci for a second, just a matter of time before his hands get in the way!

Exercising his limbs and lungs!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sending lots of love to all of our Valentines!

One Month Milestones

Where has the time gone???  I've always heard mothers say that the time will fly, but nothing can prepare you for what that actually feels like.  Caden now weighs a whopping 9 pounds!  His cheeks have definitely filled out and his little legs are pretty chunky.  It seems that we have this feeding thing figured out, now we've got to work on sleep!  His one month appointment went well, minus the shot.  He has much more control over his neck muscles and his legs are extremely strong (they've been that way since in utero!).  He is still a very "vocal" baby.  Not that he cries... he just makes LOTS of noises: grunts, squeals and many, many other unidentifiable sounds.  Below are a few pics from the past couple of weeks.

Now this is pure relaxation!

He loves his Moma, almost as much as she loves him!

We actually had "spring-like weather", so we took advantage and made a trip to the zoo.  I definitely enjoyed the outting more than him, but it was good for both of us to get out and breathe the fresh air (well, semi-fresh, the penguins are rather smelly).
