A month 2 follow

Caleb is already 2 months ...it feels like our family is complete! I don't know how we ever lived without him! 2 days after Caleb turned 2 months he attended his first funeral! This was a hard one for me because it was very sudden and unexpected! Both kids did great even tough mommy was a mess. Now that Caleb is eating consistently and well he slept his first long stretch at night. 6 hours of straight sleep will make you a whole new person.

Things to remember about this month:

He has no real schedule even though we have tried alot to get him on one 

He's very unpredictable and it's hard to go anywhere

He started being more active and needing stimulation when he was awake at 6 weeks ( he can easily play in his baby gym for 30+ minutes)

He screams for tummy time 

He started eating 4 oz every 3 hours instead of 2 oz every 2 hours

Still gets up once or twice at night most nights

2 month old stats:

Weight 12lbs 0 oz

Height 23 inches

Head 15.5 inches

skills I noticed this month:
  • Lifts head almost 45 degrees when lying on stomach
  • Head bobs forward when held in sitting position
  • Follows dangling objects with eyes
  • Visually searches for sounds
  • Makes noises other than crying
  • Cries become distinctive (wet, hungry, etc.)
  • Vocalizes to familiar voices
  • Social smile demonstrated
