Dear Ty: Two months

Dear Ty

Another month has flown by and you have grown so much! You feel much more solid now and your neck is getting strong. You still resist tummy time by burrowing your face into the floor but you hold your head up pretty well when you are held. You still sleep a lot but are spending more time awake and interacting with us. There is no denying you love your big brother and enjoy just being near him. You smile and coo when he is near I'm sure it's only a matter of time before your laughing at his craziness. You seem to be becoming more comfortable with your daddy as well, you will now allow him to soothe you and put you to sleep. It makes your dad very happy when you aren't screaming in his arms. You have been sporadically sleeping 7-8 hour stretches, the first few times happened after you turned one month and again recently. Mommy can hardly believe her luck when she wakes after one of those nights feeling much more rested. Thank you. 

You are still a big eater and are taking bottles every few nights. I would like to get you on bottles every night but you eat so much mommy hasn't been able to pump much. I feel like time is just flying by and I can't wait to see how much you change and grow this month. <3 

Monthly Stats: 

Weight ~ 11lb 12oz

Length ~ 63 cm

Hair/Eyes ~ Your hair thinned out but is already starting to grow back. It's not as dark as it was but still brown. Your eyes are starting to lighten, but still mostly dark blue

Feeding ~ You are doing very well with your bottles, I'm still not pumping enough for nightly bottles but slowly getting there.  You are breastfeeding on demand which is about every 3 hours or so and lasting approx 20-40 minutes

Sleeping ~ You sleep! I still can't believe it but you are sleeping 7-8 hour stretches multiple times a week. This past week I have noticed you seem to be having a nice long nap (3-4 hours) mid day. 

Milestones/Other ~ 

* You rolled front to back again! This time on video! 

* You love to sit in your swing and state up at the mirror on the mobile, you are not that interested in other toys yet so mommy lets you sit there as long as you like. 

* You are very gassy, you cry out in pain sometimes. I think you still have reflux as well.

* You're fitting into 6m size sleepers already but everything else is still 3m size
