2 Months

Hunter Cole,

...You are 2 months (and a few days) old.

...You are wearing mostly 0-3 month clothes with some 3-6 months added in.  You can finally wear some of your 0-3 month shorts.

...you weigh 11.4 lbs but I'm not sure how long you are.  You don't go for your 2 month checkup until the end of this month.

...you wear size 1 diapers.  We tried size 2 since you are so close to the recommended weight but they are too big.

...you slept all night twice when we stayed at Nana and Poppy's but haven't done it since we have been home.  During the day you get cranky after being awake about an hour.  So our typical day consists of you waking up, eating, playing for about 45 minutes and then nap.  And repeat!  You sleep in your Rock 'n Play sleeper at night beside our bed.

...you are breastfeeding like a champ.  You eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours and it takes 10-15 minutes for you to nurse.  You are getting much better about not making a huge mess on mommy.

...you constantly kick your feet!

...you love bath time.  We give you a bath every evening and you LOVE it!  You hate getting out and usually throw a fit.

...your favorite place to be is outside.  You have been to the lake a lot this month and you love it!  You watched your 1st firework show.  You didn't seem to impressed...ha!  The loud noise didn't scare you like I thought it might.

...you hate shopping!  You are just like your Aunt Nicole.  I told her that we gave you the right middle name because you two are so similar.  You hate shopping and riding and you snore just like she does!

...you still aren't crazy about tummy time.  Sometimes you will lay for 5 minutes, other times you start whining as soon as we put you down.  You love your play mat if you are on your back.  We finally got the light and music to work and you like that.

...you do not like riding in your stroller.  We have put you in it without the car seat and with the car seat.  Either way...you hate it.  Even outside.

...you have discovered your hands and your tongue.  You suck on your hand all the time.  Sometimes I think you are going to put the whole thing in your mouth.

...you are grabbing onto things more.  You always grab Momma's shirt when you are nursing and you will grab your blanket and pull it to your face.

...you still don't hold your paci in your mouth very good.  The only time you really use it is when you are going down for a nap.

...you are a very happy baby.  You will just smile at us when we talk to you.  It's the best feeling in the world to see you smile!  You try to talk back to us and are cooing quite a bit...especially when we lay you down for bed awake.

...you are still spitting up quite a bit!  I took you to the doctor and they started you on zantac but I can't tell it's made a difference.  You were choking on it as it was coming up  and it freaked me out.

...we spent a couple of days at Nana and Poppy's and you got so much attention.  I'm pretty sure your Aunt Nicole spoiled you.  She walked/bounced you the whole time!

...you still love to be rocked by your Ma.  We take you up there and you will just sit and let her rock you the whole time!

...this month you met Mylee for the 1st time and spent a lot of time with Hames.  Ya'll still don't realize the other is there but we can't wait until ya'll are big enough to play together.

...we took you to the creek for the 1st time!  You slept the whole time and the bumpy ride didn't both you a bit.

...we took Daddy to eat at Red Lobster for his 1st Father's Day

...you have rolled over from your belly to back twice, but haven't done it anymore.

...you went to Maddy's 2nd Birthday Party

...you spent some time with Aunt Lisa while we went to the lake.

...you spent the night with Nana once.

...you went to a cookout for Nana and Poppy's work

...This month you had visits from...Uncle Logan, Aunt Nicole, Pa Wayne, Kya, Grandma Susan, Aunt Lisa, Samantha, Jordan, Brittany, Nana, Chris Ashburn, Brandon & Christi, Josh, Margaux, Jo & Noah, and Tosha.

...This month we went to see...Coach Stephens, Granny, Nanna, Poppy, Logan, Nicole, Kelsie & Hames, Tessa, Krystal & Mylee (in town), Brad, Grandpa Jackie, Paula and Uncle Jackie.

We Love You More Than Anything and are so thankful to be your parents!
