Two Months

I honestly can't wrap my head around the fact that my little monkey is two months old! We had his check-up today and it was our first "outing" just the two of us :). I wish I didn't pick today to be the first time I took him out alone because it was a hard morning for us! The car ride was easy, I put in a new mirror, and he loved looking at himself (too cute!). The start to the doctor visit was easy too, until they told me that he had to get 4 shots and one immunization orally. I think it was harder for me to watch him scream as they put two shots in each leg. I'll admit... I cried like a little baby myself. I just didn't like seeing my little man in pain. He forgot all about it a few minutes after it was over, so that's good. He was just a very sleepy boy all day. I think I will make daddy take him next time he has to get shots :) !

making silly faces at himself in the new car mirror :)

A happy baby... little does he know he is about to get his shots and won't be happy for long :(

Age: 2 Months

Date: 9/25/2013

Weight: 10 lbs 10 oz

Height: 23 ¼ inches

Head Circ.: 37 cm

Eating: He eats 3-4 oz every 2-3 hours

Sleep: He slept through the night a few times, but usually wakes up every 3 hours.

Likes: snuggling, walks, baths, car rides, his monkey swing, tummy-time, daddy’s funny songs

Dislikes: the dark, and daddy’s “scary” voice, the aspirator, hiccups, and burping!

Milestones: Starting to smile more, trying to suck his thumb, lifts his head up and tries to look around, can roll onto back when on his stomach, tracks with his eyes (he notices his mobile and toys now!)

Such a big boy

Tired from all of the pictures

One Month

*Yesterday Anthony was 2 months old! Since I didn't start this blog until after his 1 month, I decided to post it now (better late than never...right?)

Age: 1 Month

Date: 8/25/2013

Weight: 8 lbs 2 oz

Height: 21 ¼ inches

Head Circ.: 34 cm

Eating: He eats 2 oz every two hours

Sleep: He loves to sleep, and can sleep through anything! The more noise the better J I would like to thank the NICU for that!

Likes: Rocking in his chair with Mommy listening to his Baby Einstein music, laying on his tummy, being wrapped in a towel after bath-time, his soothies, story-time and kisses from mommy and daddy!

Dislikes: dirty diapers, being woken up to eat, his arms swaddled, gas!

Milestones: Starting to lift his head up (still pretty wobbly at it), pushes off with legs when laying against your stomach

My happy little man

big yawn!

Sleepy time with his owl friend

We had a little "birthday" celebration for his 1st month :). Yes, we were the crazy parents that had a party for a one month old! I couldn't help it... I was just wanted to celebrate everything he had overcome in his first month of life. He went through a lot, and he deserved cake! (even if he didn't get to eat it.. it was the idea that counted!)

Mommy and Daddy are so in love with this little guy

Mimi and Poppy

Grandpop and Grammy

Present time! This boy is so spoiled by his family 

VIDEO- Anthony's 1 Month Celebration

My not so little boy

I now understand when people say "don't blink" when referring to how fast kids grow up. Seriously, when did Anthony get so big? He is such a little chunker these days. This past week he has officially grown out of newborn shirts and onesies and moved up to size 0 to 3 months. You would think that his whole body would move up to the same size... but nope. The funny thing is he still wears newborn pants, ha! The kid has such a Buddha belly that he is two different sizes for tops and bottoms! I'm not sure how much he weighs currently, but the last time we were at the doctor (for his one month check-up) he had gained a pound in a week. We don't go back to the doctor to check his weight until his two month appointment. I am willing to bet that he is close to 10 pounds now.

What happened to my little peanut that didn't even fit in newborn clothes? Stop growing so fast little one! I better not blink because before I know it he is going to be going off to school!

okay... maybe he isn't growing THAT fast, but it sure does feel like it!

He has also been getting really good at lifting his head up. I am such a proud mama! Check out the video of him I posted on my youtube account (you can check back there often because I am going to start posting a lot of videos)

There we go, aren't I so cute!?
