This post is a little late, but the picture was taken on time :). We’ve been a little busy.
Troy is growing every day! Every day he looks a little different (I swear), laughs a little more, shows a little more personality.
He’s a fun kid, I love being his momma.
Troy is two months old! He:
-weighed 10lb 12.8oz at his 2 month Dr checkup, and was 21 inches long.
-got his 2 month vaccinations – his little scream was so sad but only lasted for a few seconds – his face just got all scrunched up, and as soon as I started nursing him he just looked so relieved
-gets a lot more Daddy time now that Dusty defended his dissertation a couple weeks ago! I know Dusty isn’t “officially” done yet (he keeps telling me) but every day just feels like Saturday now that he’s home more and can actually relax. It’s wonderful.
-is cooing a lot and smiling at us more every day, which I love! I usually can get him to smile if I say his full name to him, Troy David Williams – it’s adorable
-likes when I read Harry Potter out loud to him, or at least is usually not fussy when we’re reading out loud so I think he likes it…he also coos a lot when I read to him like he is talking to me
-is sleeping for 5-6 hour stretches at night – it’s heavenly!
-went to Rainbow springs yesterday and Dusty dipped his feet in the water – he didn’t scream and looked pretty happy so we think he liked that too, haha!
Has it already been a whole month?? Crazy. I can already picture myself next year, saying, “Has it already been a year??” Time flies!
For memory’s sake (since mine is not so good), here is what Troy is up to:
-he is a wiggle worm. Even while nursing, unless he’s falling asleep, which makes it a little more difficult than a couple weeks ago…
-he nurses like a maniac, and requires my full attention nowadays (because he is squirming so much)
-still sleeps a lot, but only if he’s being held during the day – or sometimes, like right now, he’ll sleep in his swing. He also sleeps in his carseat and during walks – this makes it hard to do the whole “sleep when your baby sleeps” thing (he’s better at night, thank goodness!). I’m getting pretty good at doing everything with one hand. When he is awake he is super alert and wants to be eating.
-the last couple of nights he’s slept for 3hr stretches! Lets hope that keeps up…
-poops a lot, but only during the day, which is weird (I think, maybe it’s not)
-likes being outside. Usually if he is fussy and rooting and he just ate for like an hour, if I walk a lap around the house outside he’ll calm down.
-is 8lb 13oz as of Tuesday!
-according to the “1 month care” sheet I got from his Dr. on Tuesday, I’m supposed to be reading him lots of colorful books (who knew? He’s a newborn!), so I read him Dr. Seuss this morning – he seemed to like it.
