Two months old

Sweet Gray turned two months on July 18th. I thought that Saylor was an easy baby, but so far, he has her beat. He is just pretty laid back and content to go with the flow. He doesn't cry too much, and the only times I have heard him really scream is when he gets shots - otherwise it's more of a sweet little whimper. Here's what he's up to at 2 months old:

Eats six times per day - around 7, 10, 1, 4, 7, and 10 - although this can vary quite a bit. We do one bottle a day, which he'll sometimes protest but generally takes it ok in the end.

He's sleeping at night from after his dreamfeed until about 7 a.m. Sometimes he starts stirring around five or six a.m. but usually will put himself back to sleep. We swaddle him and he is more into the paci than Saylor ever was, but still only wants it sometimes. I really haven't kept track of his day time sleep - he just sleeps about an hour and 15 minutes after he wakes up - in his crib if we're at home or in his car seat if we're on the go. I know this will probably have to get more structured as he gets older but I'm just enjoying it for the moment!

He likes to lay on his play mat and look at the toys dangling above him and he loves to watch the monkey on his bouncy seat. He's starting to track us visually (if we're close enough for him to see), and lifts his head and pushes with his little legs (especially in the evenings when he seems to be most alert and awake). And, best of all he gives us these huge, lop-sided grins that just completely melt my heart. :)

We thought he would for sure be off the charts size-wise at his two month check up but he's only 97th percentile for weight and 90th for height. :) Looks like he's going to be a big boy (surprise)!

We sure love this little guy!
