Thomas Family Theatre: 2 Months Old: 3-11-12

My sweet baby boy- oh how I love Luke. He loves to snuggle- he loves to be held right up on my chest with his head where he can tuck it just next to my head. He loves for his Daddy to hold him at night when he gets fussy- Dan can usually lay back on the couch with Luke laying on his chest- Dan just pats his back and within minutes the little guy is out! He is sleeping through the night- has been since around 7 weeks old! He typically has a bedtime feeding around 8:30-9:00 and will sleep until 7:30 or 8:00 the next morning! He is awake for a good little while in the morning- this is when he loves to stretch out and play on his playmat. He is already trying to follow Amelia around with his eyes and his head. He will then usually take a nice long nap. After his afternoon feeding he will be awake a little bit but will take another nap. He is usually awake after his dinner time feeding. Eventually I'm hoping to get him to take a more consistent morning nap and afternoon nap. He just started to smile in response to us a little- it's not the full blown smile yet but I can tell it's going to be any day. Oh boy are we in trouble with Luke- he's going to be a heart breaker! When he smiles he has the sweetest dimples and his whole face just lights up- he's absolutely adorable!

At his check-up he was 11 lbs 6 oz and 21 3/4 inches long. That means in the past month he grew almost 2 pounds and 1 3/4 inches! He is in the 50th percentile for his weight and height. Our weather here suddenly turned very warm and all the 0-3 month clothes are long sleeves/pants. Luckily I was able to pick up some onesies and little shorts for Luke at the consignement sale to get us through the next month or so until he gets into his 3-6 month clothes which are all for summer. Thankfully Luke will also take a bottle- so when I have been working at the consignment sale Daddy was able to give him a bottle for one feeding bring him to me for the next feeding.
