Today, Baby Bear, as we have nicknamed him, is 2 months old! Boy does the time fly by! It really does seem like just yesterday I was at home cleaning like crazy trying to decide if my contractions were the real thing or not. But it has been 2 whole months since that exciting day, and we have enjoyed every minute of it! Bear is such a good baby too. So far he is just totally relaxed all the time, loves to look at us and smile a lot, and he usually sleeps a good 6-7 hours in a row at night followed by another 3 hours after he gets a quick snack. Life is definitely a lot more crazy with 2- it takes us forever just to get ready in the morning and to go anywhere- we are definitely always late to everything! But it is also lots of fun! Jackson's been having some terrible 2 moments lately especially when it comes to sharing toys with other kids, but he still loves his brother and loves to help out. At play group, a little boy crawled up to Baron's empty at the time carseat to play with it, and Jackson pulled it away saying, "No! That's baby's!" So he is already becoming the protective older brother...... we just gotta figure out how to chanel that love for his brother in a good way that doesn't involve being mean to other kids. He really is a good kid with just a lot of energy- the other day he was just all over the place and couldn't sit still. I said to him, "My goodness kid, what is up with you today?" To which he replied, "I goin' crazy!" as he continued to run around in circles. It was pretty funny.
Here are Bear's 2 month stats:
Head Circumference: 16" - 75 %
Height: 23 1/2" - 75%
Weight: 14 lb. 9 oz.!! - 97%
As you can see, he continues to be a little Tank. A very cute little Tank though if I might say so. My mom kept all her kids stats and she said that her biggest baby was 14 1/2 pounds at 4 months old, not 2 months! He's just a solid little boy.... but we like it b/c he is strong and not super fragile like most kids his age are. Here's some current pictures of our big little guy:
