Two Months

On the 18th, Henry celebrated his 2 month birthday. He didn't have his 2 month check up until today, which is why I waited to do this post. That and I am so far behind on everything these days! Anyway, HRH is doing great and growing like a weed. He tipped the scales at 1o pounds 4 ounces today. While this is still quite small, he has gained 4 pounds since the day he came home from the hospital. I knew he had to have gained some weight because the little guy likes to eat every 2 hours during the day. Yes, I am always feeding him!!! In the height department, he measured 22.5 inches. This puts him in the 30th percentile, along with his weight. While we don't have the biggest baby on our hands, he sure seems like it compared to Ethan at this age. As you can see, Ethan has come quite a long way!

Henry continues to be a great baby! He is starting to get into a little routine, or at least be somewhat predictable. He is consistently sleeping from about 9 until 4:30, wakes up for a quick feeding and then is back down until 8 or so. From there our time mostly consists of feedings and short little cat naps until the afternoon. He takes a nap around 2 and wakes up anywhere between 5 and 5:30 (Ethan is also down at this time, which makes for some nice quiet "me" time). From nap time until bed, there is lots more eating and more cat naps. Henry has started to become quite fussy around this time, not wanting to be put down, etc. I think a lot has to do with him being more and more aware of his surroundings, but not being able to really do much. A pure case of boredom.

He is bright eyed most of the day though giving us a ton of smiles and "talking" quite a bit. I love hearing him coo and his smiles are to die for. We have been working on our neck strength, although tummy time is not his favorite. He loves to look at Ethan and hear him talk about his trucks and tractor or sing The Wheels on the Bus or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!

As we continue to get into our daily routine and adjust to having a newborn in our lives again, we can't help but feel blessed! Life as a family of four is great! Henry is such a sweet baby and like Ethan, continues to amaze me each and everyday. We love him to pieces and can't wait for the next 2 months. Each day brings new milestones and a whole bunch more love!
