2 Months
MV turned 2 months on April 26th :) Time is flying and yes once again I am late with the recap lol
But in all fairness he just had his check up this past week as well as another appointment I was waiting for ;) That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
Weight:
11 pounds 8 ounces! Little man is quickly becoming not so little! His fat rolls have fat rolls lol ok maybe not that bad but he is chub!
Length:
24.5 inches (this time I got a copy of everything lol) He was measured 3 times because of how long he is, he is now in the 95th percentile for his length!
Hair/Eyes:
We have hair again! lol MV has regrown the hair ontop of his head, it's all still a medium brown, some days looks a bit darker than others. I think it will probably lighten a bit more possible be a blonde for anew years before coming to the dark side ;) no changes with his eye colour still dark blue with a light ring. Eyelashes have gotten s lot darker and longer tho I'm jealous!
Clothing Size:
The newborn clothes are packed away :( pants are size 0-3 month, and everything else (sleepers and onesies) are either 3 months or 3-6 month sizes. MV's torso is pretty long so some stuff is too short, his midsection is still slim so we are all over with sizes lol I just grab whatever fits.
Diapers:
We are size 1 at the moment and could easily fit into the size 2's but I am hoping to stretch out the 1's just a couple more weeks because I have a few packs left lol. They are not too tight yet.
Still no real preference for diaper brand per say.... I'm starting to lean towards Huggies I think the fit is better for MVs body shape, also he may or may not get a reaction from the pampers.
Sleeping:
Unfortunately no progress here. Overall were averaging our 2-3hour stretches still but do get the occasional 4 or 5 hour stretch. I'm not really seeing any pattern with this it seems to be pretty random. Sleeping arrangements have taken a step back... MV is back in our bed. I'm not completely sure how this happened, it might have been a combo of things. We had some cold nights and he seemed chilled on his own, plus he swings his arms and legs around in his sleep and it would rock the bassinet and wake him. It's just easier this way but I really would like to break this habit soon. Bonus is we all sleep better this way, MV will wake for a feed and fall back to sleep instantly bc we just feed laying in bed.
Eating:
Still exclusively breastfeeding. I truly do feel lucky to be having such an easy time with this, I produce more than enough milk so our pumping supply is growing. The only real problem on my end is my fast letdown, MV often chokes and has to pull off, he can chug back his meals in 5 minutes flat and be good for hours. My letdown may be contributing to all his puking were not sure and I'm too worried about supply to try to do anything to slow it down.
New Developments:
Smiles are getting bigger and at times little laughing squeals are made. MV is becoming quite chatty when in a god mood, I swear his first word was Hi lol probably just a squeal but it sounds like Hi.
Legs are kicking a lot more when happy but we still have not discovered those feet, hand and arm control is improving MV can almost get that fist in his mouth on the first try. Usually he ounces himself in the face and them his fist makes his way to his mouth lol but he's getting better!
Other:
*We have stopped the reflux meds for now, I don't think they were helping at all. The puking continues, sometimes it will be hours after a feed and still come flying out. Usually projectile too.
*Because of the puking the doctor ordered an ultrasound to hopefully rule out pyloric stenosis, it's unlikely since he's gaining weight but still a small chance. So far no results, I'll probably call tomorrow.
*The Colic is ... Dare I say improving? Kinda. He is still fussy in the evenings but we are better at figuring out what he needs and can usually soothe him. There are still nights where MV will scream form no apparent reason but they are becoming less.
*We have a few routines starting, totally all led by MV, I'm not going to force him into a schedule that works for me (at least not yet)Mornings start between 5-8am and begin with a lot of grunting as MV struggles with gas and his morning poop lol followed by a feed and then happy playtime (best 3 hours of the day) and then wraps up with independent time in his swing where he falls asleep. The bulk of the day has no real pattern its basically free for all depending on MVs mood but by 8ppm we are getting ready for a bedtime bath, rocking chair time a feed and then bed.
*MV had his 2 month immunizations Monday :( he let out a horrified cry with each needle prick. He's been very clingy and fussy all week with a low grade fever. Luckily he seems to be back to normal as of yesterday.

Not sure of it's original origin.
