Isaac-2 months

Stats to come after appt Monday!

Size 1 diapers, 3 mos clothes

EAT
Still consistently eating every 3ish hours from 7a-7p. Will sometimes cluster feed at night. Nurses most of the time but will usually get a 3-3.5 oz bottle atleast once a day. I pump every morning about an hour after first am feed for comfort/stashing.

PLAY
Discovered his reflection and loves to look at himself. Started smiling at 6 weeks but still won't consistently smile with interaction...but pretty consistent with looking in mirror :). Will tolerate a good 5 mins of tummy time before fussing. He loves being held but after being swaddled all night loves a good 15-20 mins in the mornings to stretch on his playmat. I'm loving the ergo and in the last month he's been worn to parks, walks, the arboretum, and Perot museum! He is also in the ergo a lot in the evenings...helps me cook, clean, do laundry, etc! His favorite "toy" hands down is the big swing...

SLEEP
...which brings us to this section. He will give me a 6-8 hour stretch if he goes down in the big swing. If he goes down in the crib he will typically wake up every 15 mins for the first hour and once he's finally down give a 3-4 hour stretch. I was weary of swing sleeping for a long time but after consulting with other Moms and a sweet hubby who says a Mommy who gets sleep is key for the whole family, I'm hoping Im not creating a monster bc he definitely naps and does his first night stretch in the swing. After he wakes up around 3-4 ill take him to his crib and hell sleep until 7-730. During the day he's awake about 1.5-2 hours at a time. He takes a long nap 1-4ish and shorter 45-1.5 hr naps in between. He is still swaddled at night and about 1/2 the time for naps.

Sweet Isaac,
You are already fighting the snuggles and lifting up your head when I try to snuggle you on my shoulder. You no longer like to be held to fall asleep but you do love to be held and just stare at whoever is holding you. You love to be outside and watch whatever is going on around you. You can't quite figure out your brothers antics but are learning to sleep through lots of banging and screaming :). I love our alone time first thing in the morning and when your brother goes down for nap. We also get good bonding time with Daddy at night...he's been teaching you about March Madness! You are my little cuddle bug and wish I could stop time...you're growing so fast but I also can't wait to discover more of your personality!

Love
Mama
