2 Months

Red just passed his 2 month birthday about 2 weeks ago and I am just now blogging about it. Every day gets easier and easier which I could not be more thankful for. We learn something new about Red everyday, he is starting to develop the sweetest personality! I cannot express how thankful I am to have this sweet little boy in my life. I honestly can't imagine my life without him. Here's a few things we have learned about sweet baby Red this month:


*His hair is staying put! He hasn't lost much which is something we were really worried about.

*Red's eyes are still blue! Crossing our fingers they stay that way! His vision and tracking skills are remarkable. He surprised even his Dr. and nurses at his appointment by following them everywhere they went around the office. He loves to look at dangly (that a word?) toys that hang off of his car seat carrier.

*RJ is still a crazy eater. I have no idea how that much milk fits into that small body. Every three hours he eats 4-5 oz. Even at night.

*He as mastered the smile and we are on the edge of our seats waiting for a laugh. He is so close! Red is super super smiley. He will coo and squeal and smile at you the entire time he is awake.

*His neck muscles are developing wonderfully. He can hold his head up by himself when in a sitting position and loves to push up on his arms during tummy time to look at everyone. He legs are still super strong too. He puts weight on them when we stand him up and kicks like crazy whenever daddy plays the guitar.

*We are no longer using newborn clothes and 0-3 month is starting to get a little snug. Little boy still fits best in 3 month!

*Little John discovered his hands and feet this month. His little hands are constantly in "grab mode." Shane and I actually witnessed him learn he has feet. Red's eyes locked onto his toes as he moved them back and forth. The confused look on his face was the cutest thing I've ever seen!

*Toby and Red are best friends forever, as you can see. I've been amazed at Toby's patience with a newborn in the house.

*Redfeather still loves to be held when he sleeps but has started letting us lay him down for naps in his swing. He is still on the eat, play, sleep schedule every three hours. However at night he will skip the "play" part which makes me super happy! He finally learned the difference between night and day. Good job Red!

Watching this baby grow is the most rewarding thing I have ever done! Happy Birthday sweet Little John. Mom and Dad love you!
