2 Months (Luke)

Luke is 2 months old. He’ll be driving before we know it.

At two months…

• Luke is a ginormous baby. At his 2 month check-up he was 24 1/2 inches long and 14.3lbs. He was heavier than Gwynn was at 4 months. The doctor said he’s just a big baby and not necessarily fat. Daddy likes to call him fat which his grandmothers do not appreciate. He is in size 2 diapers and fits in 3-6 month clothes.
• He is still sleeping in the swing. No crib yet. Unlike Gwynn, he has been in the swing from day one. We keep saying we’ll try the crib for naps, but it hasn’t happened yet. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
• Luke has slept 8 hours straight many times. In fact, it’s the norm. However, he usually eats at about 7 or so and goes until 3-3:30am, so it’s not ideal.
• During the day Luke eats every 3 or 4 hours. We’ve had to make 3 bottles for daycare each day because he’s got quite an appetite.
• Luke is smiling! When we talk to him he’ll get the biggest grin on his face…so sweet! 
• He can follow things with his eyes quite well. He’ll watch mommy or daddy if they walk out of the room and he’s gotten to where he’ll sometimes get upset if he thinks he’s alone.
• He’s not a fan of tummy time at all. He’ll tolerate it for about 2 or 3 minutes then he gets mad and wants to be turned over.  He still loves lying flat on his back though.  We’re not sure how this lack of tummy time will affect when he rolls over…I guess we’ll find out soon enough!
