Happy 2 Months, Sweet Baby Boy!!

Our big boy is 2 months!! Yay!! This little boy (ok...not so little!!!) is such a huge blessing to our family!

At 2 months, Colby weighs 12lbs (46th percentile) and is 22.25 inches tall (18th percentile). His beautiful noggin is 15.5 inches, putting him in the 62nd percentile. Pretty low for our kiddos haha! Colby can still fit into newborn clothing, but only half of his newborn clothing fits. Crazy how different sizes are depending on brands. It seems as though every day we are putting another outfit into the "Does Not Fit" bin even though it fit just fine the week before! We are starting to primarily put him in 0-3 month clothes. Colby is now in size 1 diapers. Diapers...oh my....we go through TONS!! We don't remember going through so many with Abigail!! And I'm happy to say, we are getting peed on less and less! haha! I totally just jinxed us, didn't I?!?
 

Here's a side by side of our two precious bambinos. At two months, Abigail weighed just over 9lbs and (less than 5th percentile) and was 21.65 inches long (9th percentile). Big difference between our two cuties!! 



Colby is such a sweet boy. His face just melts our heart. And now that he is smiling....awwww....we can't get enough!!

Colby has quite the personality. We joke that he is high maintenance, just like his precious sister! Haha. Colby loves to be up in the mix. Don't even think about putting him down away from the action! And don't think about doing the same thing for a prolonged period of time. Got to keep it moving!!
Colby is really enjoying being outside and seeing the different surroundings. We are all really enjoying the days of warmer temperatures and are looking forward to spending more and more time outside.
Colby seems to be hot natured, like his wonderful daddy. Sometimes if he is fussy, we take all of his clothes off and put him under the fan. Crazy kid! haha! Didn't get that from me! Although I will say that I have been much warmer recently due to the adorable 12lb weight I carry around much of the day!
Colby is not the best sleeper. Colby takes about 4 naps a day: 2 short and 2 long. Some days he does great and will take lengthy naps and go down easily. Other days....it takes us longer to get him down than he'll actually nap that is IF you can get him down in the first place! Ha! And then there are those "special" days where we spend more time trying to get Colby than doing anything else! We know every parent can relate! At night, sleep has been rough. I mean...really rough. It sometimes starts off ok and Colby makes it 3 hours before the next feed, but after that...it's all down hill. The past several nights, Colby has been getting up every 20-60 minutes. All. Night. Long. Ugh. Colby has acid reflux really bad and the doctor thinks that it may be contributing to his sleeping habits. We're trying some dietary changes on my part and possibly some medication so hopefully something helps! Fingers crossed!!
Colby loves baths!! Anything that involves being naked haha! He can stay in there forever! And Abigail loves to help so it's a fun activity for all involved!
Happy 2 months, baby boy!! You are so precious to us!! We love you SO SO SO much!!
