2 Months Old!

Sweet Mason is 2 months old today! In some ways, it seems like just yesterday that we were at the hospital getting ready to meet him. In others (the fussiness, 3 am feedings, and adjusting to 2 kids), it has been a long 2 months! :) But we are getting the hang of it slowly. He is sleeping better, generally from about 9 pm to 5 am!! Woohoo! :) He still wakes at 2 or 3 sometimes but it is a huge improvement! Mason still dooesn't like the bottle, he prefers his Mommy! It makes it hard to leave him for too long, so we will be working on this for sure. He started to smile around 5 weeks and has been cooing when talked to. I love it-it makes my heart melt when he talks to me. :)

I took him for his 2-month well-check at 6 weeks, as our pediatrician likes to give the first round of shots early. His stats at 6 weeks were: 23 inches (80th percentile!), 11 pounds (60th percentile), and his head was 15 inches (16th percentile).

I was looking back at Ethan's 2-month well-check stats and they were pretty similar: 11 pounds, 8 ounces, 22 inches, and his head was 15 inches.

Here are some sweet pics:

The camera flash scares him!

Hand-Me-Downs

Poor Mason, wearing all of Ethan's old clothes. Luckily, most of the sizes he's in now only got worn by Ethan a handful of times before he outgrew them and was on to a bigger size, so they didn't have time to get stained. It's nostalgic, when I put Mason in something, I think back to when Ethan wore it. Crazy that he was once that little, and that our little Mason will soon be a toddler. It all goes by so fast. I'm trying to savor these moments as they pass, but I also find myself thinking, "Once he's 3 months, it'll get easier", etc.

Here are a few pics of the boys in the same clothes 2 years apart! :) Unfortunately, Blogger only lets me post 5 pictures at a time. Anyone out there know how to change that??? Anyway, I have plenty more of these "same clothes" pics. Another post I guess.
