Baby Fowler- Two Months

            

                              

My baby is 2 months old.  I just can't believe how fast time goes the second time around.  He is changing every day.  He had is 2 month check-up this morning and had to have 5 shots!  Our BIG boy is slowly become a tiny boy like his brother.  He is still pretty high on the charts for height, but he dropped a good bit.  I expected his weight to be lower simply because he just has really started eating well.  He had really bad reflux (silent reflux) but after adding zantac we are good to go!
Weight: 11 lbs 2 oz (25th percentile)---getting to be a tiny little one (he was 59th)
Height:  23 in (60th percentile)--slowly declining on the charts (he was 98th)
Head:  16 in (50th percentile)
Clothing:  He is wearing mostly 3 months outfits, but really needs 6 months in pants.  His legs are so long.  He is long and thin, but beginning to get those sweet chubby legs and cheeks.
Motor:  He is still kicking his legs and "punching" his arms every where.  He is very strong and is beginning to hold his head up more and more.  He loves to look around.  He can follow an object and turns his head when he hears my voice.  He, like Dylan at this age, has learned to cry when he wants something.
Feeding:  He is taking about ounces every 3-4 hours during the day.
Sleeping:  We are still working on a routine, but he is adjusting and setting his little schedule.  He has started sleeping ALL night.  He typically has his last feeding around 10 or 11 and will sleep until 5 or 6!  He wakes up just long enough to get enough milk to put himself back to sleep.  He wakes up around 8 or 8:30 and stays awake until 10-1030.  He takes a nap for about 2-3 hours and then is awake for about 1-2 hours.  He takes another 2-3 hour nap and then awake until about 8:00.  If he is awake later than that, his last feeding puts him to sleep.  If he is asleep before 8, we wake him up to feed him one more time before bed.
Moments to remember:  Fowler gave us his first smile at 6 weeks.  He started "talking" to us around the same time.  He is such a happy baby and loves to smile and coo.  His sweet face melts my heart!
