Miles is 2 months old!


Miles! You are two months old today!
You are the BEST baby. You are so sweet and lovable. 


You started sleeping through the night about a week ago and now you sleep for about 8 hours before you wake up. 


You started smiling this month, too, but it is really hard to get a picture of you smiling! Once we bring the camera out, you look at it instead. 


You have a really good pouty lip! 


You are getting better control of your head, but you definitely do not like tummy time. You get fussy when we put you on your belly.


You had your two month well-baby visit today with Dr. Roe.
Weight: 13 lbs, 5.6 ounces; 75th percentile
Height: 24 inches; 90th percentile
Head Circumference: 15 3/4 inches; 75th percentile
You are still wearing a size 1 diaper, but we will finish the rest of those up tomorrow and start with size  2 diapers. You are growing so quickly!
You were not happy about your shots today, but after you calmed back down, you didn't have any trouble the rest of the day. You also got to meet nurse Nancy today, which was your mama's nurse at Piedmont Pediatrics.


This is a picture of you with your cousin Mattie. She loves you a lot and always says "Aww, he's so cute!" It looks like you love her, too!


I left you this month for the first time and your Gram watched you while I took Eleanor to the vet. You were a good boy while I was gone!


Eleanor loves you and likes to protect you. This isn't a great picture, but she moves fast! Eleanor has now eaten 3 pacifiers, two of those in the same day. 


You take naps in your crib and can fall asleep on your own! Sometimes I still rock you, though, just because I like to. You take one long nap in your crib and several shorter naps during the day. 

You have outgrown most of your 0-3 month clothes and are mostly wearing size 3-6 months. 

We love you so much and are blessed to be your parents!

Miles is one month old!


Miles, you are one month old! At your one month appointment, you weighed 10 pounds, 1 ounce and you are now 21 inches long. You wear size 1 diapers and still wear 0-3 month size clothes. 


We started giving you a pacifier this week and you like it most of the time, but you also spit it out a lot. Eleanor is very interested in the pacifier. She spends lots of time plotting how to steal it!


We also started giving you one bottle a day as your last feeding. You usually eat every 2.5 hours, but will go for 3 hours once a day. If you wait too long, you get very grumpy!



You are a pretty good car rider, but you like to be on the move. You get a little angry when we get stuck in traffic. 


You like to sleep in the snugamonkey. We still swaddle you at night, but during the day, you like to sleep with your arms and hands up by your face, just like you did during most of the ultrasounds we had. We feed you around 10:00 and you usually wake up again around 2-3 and then 7-8. 


Today I brought you out on the porch while I took the dogs out! You are sweet boy!
