The Carparker: 8 weeks old and growing

You are 2 months old.

You are still beautiful with your blond hair and blue eyes.

You are now resembling more of your mommy.
Although certain traits are definitely daddy.

You wear size 3-6 month clothes.
Except you are very long and most of your pants are too short. We call them Granny pants...So we are moving on to bigger sizes.
You weigh 12.7 lbs and are 23 1/2 inches long.
Since your last appointment, you grew 4 inches putting you in the 95th percentile.
Your head measures at 15 3/4.
You sleep very well.
You know your bedtime which makes it easy for us.
You have a bath every other night. You like the water and being clean!
Usually you smile and stare at us. We put you in your pajamas and wrap you in a big size swaddler or a sleep sack to keep your arms from flailing in the night.
We are in bed by 9. We nurse and fall asleep quickly, usually sleeping your longest stretch of 6-7 hours. Yes, we are very lucky!!
The only time this schedule has changed is during a growth spurt.
Mommy usually wakes up before you do in the night...
The saying, " Just cause your baby starts sleeping through the night, doesn't mean you will!" -- totally applies to us.
Around 4 a.m. we nurse again.You fall back asleep very quickly and don't wake up til 6. Then back asleep until 8 a.m. You awake just in time to send daddy off to work. This time you are awake for an hour or 2.
You are just smiling and "talking" as we watch the morning news together.
The noise doesn't seem to bother you and then you're off to sleep again.
You usually have morning catnaps and then a long afternoon nap from 3-4:30.
You are awake most of the other times.
You coo, and make many noises.You smile quite often and are a very happy easy going baby.
The only time you fuss is when your tummy is gassy. You are a regular pooper going many times a day.
Well, you also fuss when you want your mommy or you are past the point of just sleepy. Usually you will crash out fast if I'm around.
You love your daddy and are very excited when you see him and when he plays with you.
You like when he plays the guitar, reads to us or mimics your noises.
You enjoy your monkey bouncer and your swing. They are both in the living room and you are able to stare at the Christmas Tree and all the lights, which fascinate you.
I wonder what you will do when Christmas is over.
