Chapman Turns Two Months Old

Time is certainly not slowing down any around here. Chapman, you are TWO months old! It has gone by so fast, but it also seems like you have been with us forever. It's hard to remember what life was like before you. We continue to watch in awe as you grow and learn each day.
Weight: You weight 12 pounds 9 ounces! You gained 2 pounds 6 ounces since your one month checkup.
Length: You've grown a whole inch in a month! You are now 22 3/4 inches long.
Clothes: Little boy, you are wearing size 3 month clothes!
Sleep: You are slowly really getting the hang of sleeping. You are figuring out your days and nights, and Mommy and Daddy love that! You've started sleeping from 11:00 to at least 4:00 most nights. One night you slept until 5:15...we want more of those nights! We attribute your sleeping later to the formula bottle we give you at your 11:00 feeding. You are exclusively sleeping in your crib, too {we sent your bassinet to be stored in DeDe and Grandy's basement}.  Speaking of sleeping in your crib, you have some weird sleeping positions when you're in there. You still sleep all swaddled up--miracle blanket and swaddle sleep sack. And of course you sleep on your back. BUT when we put you in your crib, you somehow manage to wiggle your way either a) all the way to the side of your crib, or b) in a circle until you are laying sideways in bed. We honestly have no idea how you do this. It's almost as if you are doing the worm lying on your back!
Eating: You're eating 4 ounces at each feeding.  The doctor told us we can start offering you 5 ounces so we will do just that! We still try to feed you every three hours, but sometimes you are hungry sooner, and that is okay! We are still using Dr. Brown's bottles to avoid any tummy troubles. Hopefully as you get older we can switch back to the Avent bottles {they have WAY less parts to wash!}.
What he loves: Sweet baby, you still love most of the same things. You love your play time on your mat, bath time, going outside, and laying on your changing pad {we haven't figured out what's so great about the changing pad yet...}. You also love your new Mamaroo! You enjoy it when you're awake and it helps you take LONG naps! You finally let Mommy and Daddy cradle you like a baby instead of having to be up on our shoulder at all times, and you let Mommy rock you now {you used to hate it}. You also like stroller rides more than you used to. Mommy is thankful for that!
Accomplishments: You are changing and learning every day. You smile at Mommy and Daddy when it's awake/play time. You try to roll over--you've made it on to your side several times. Tummy time is getting better for you. You talk all the time when you're playing. I love hearing your coos.
Firsts: You went on your first road trip to Birmingham this month! You also had your first Halloween! We went to DeDe and Grandy's to trick-or-treat and eat chili. Just today you had your first round of shots at the doctor.  You were a champ; you only cried for a few seconds when the nurse stuck you. You stopped crying immediately after she was finished--such a big boy!

And here are "a couple" of my favorite pictures from the month! Every time I look at these pictures my heart melts all over again.

Here you are at your 2 month check up! 

First, they weighed you!

Then, measured your head and length.

 You had to get naked for the doctor to check you! 

We love you baby boy!
