GUNNER BLAKE, You were 2 months old yesterday!!!!
Mommy can NOT believe how fast time is flying by.
Before we know it, you'll be as big as your big brother.
You are such a sweet boy!!!
Here's what you've been up too...
You're still in a size 1 diaper
You're wearing some 0-3 months clothing but mostly 3 months
You're eating 5 ounces every 3.5-4 hours. (Most of the time 3.5) Except your bed time bottle, you have 6 ounces with cereal.
You are NOT sleeping through the night. You are a little piggy so you are still waking up, like clock work, every 4 hours to eat.
We are finally on a schedule (time wise) as far as eating and waking times. (Mommy will be very happy when we eliminate one of those night time feedings with sleep.)
I'm not sure how much you weigh. They couldn't get us in for your 2 month check up until the week before you turn 3 months.... So it'll be a while before we know.
We finally found a formula that you do good on that isn't too expensive. You are drinking Enfamil Gentlease. You have been drinking this for about 3 weeks.
You survived your first sickness. The dreaded stomach virus. And believe me, it was dreaded for us all! Lol.
You've had this awful rash for about a month. Dr. C looked at it a few weeks ago and thought it might just be a normal (newborn) rash. But 2 weeks later, it had only gotten worse. Then it started chapping your skin so we called Dr. C back and he diagnosed you with eczema. We had to start using ALL FREE detergent, Cetaphil body wash and lotion and Dr. C prescribed you an antibiotic cream to rub on your rash for a few days. 2 days after doing all that... you look like a brand new baby. Your skin is SO much clearer. Poor bud. I'm sure you had been miserable. The worst part about all of it, you wont be smelling scumptious like baby magic anymore. Mommy LOVES baby magic.
You LOVE smiling and coo-ing. You do it SO much more than big brother did when he was your age. Brother just had/has a completely different personality than you do.
Some of your many smiles...
I hope this means I'll be able to get you to smile for pictures more when you're older ;)
(Fingers crossed, anyways)
You are in this phase where you think you need to be held ALL the time. Mommy and Daddy enjoy holding you but we just can't hold you ALL the time. You're pretty demanding about it too. Hehe.
You LOVE your big brother. When he gets close or talks, your eyes get so big looking for him.
He's pretty fond of you too ;)
You still aren't in your crib. You aren't in the pack n play either. You're right beside mommy every night. This wasn't the "plan" at all but when you had some colic the first 5-6 weeks, it was just easy to start a bad habit. I plan on trying to move you to your own crib at 3 months. I think you're still a little too small to be that far away from me at night. :) Or it could just be an excuse for me. HA.
You LOVE a bath. I soak one wash cloth completely in warm water and lay it across your belly while I'm cleaning you up and it seems to keep you so relaxed.
You also still LOVE to be naked. Little stinker.
You HATE, HATE, HATE the car seat. You start screaming as soon as you're put in it. And unless you fall asleep, which isn't often, you usually scream the entire time you're in it. It makes wanting to take you anywhere pretty impossible.
Mommy, Daddy and Big Brother love you VERY much!!!
We have really enjoyed the past 2 months with you in our lives!!!
Happy 2 months baby boy!!!!
Me, Mom, Dad and Bree decided to load up all our lil punkins on Saturday morning and head to the pumpkin patch. We heard good things about Walden Farms in Smyrna so that's where we went. It was PACKED but we were all pretty pleased. All the kids acted a little out of sorts. They definitely were NOT up for picture taking. I was a little disappointed since I had Tuff and Gunner cute little matching shirts made. Oh well. I guess we'll try again next week at the patch we go to with Tuff's school. Anyways, here are some of the days pictures...
My sweet boy, checkin out the goats.
Harrison, feeding goats.
This was fun until Ada got her finger bit by one of them. It was awful.
She had teeth marks on her little finger and everything.
This is the face I got when I told Harry to smile.
Gunner, napping in the wagon.
Riding the "choo-choo" with mommy.
Bree and Ada
My sweet boy soaking up the sun.
HA. This is the best we could get with all 3 of them.
Our "little poser" for the day
Again...
And again :)
Tuff hanging out with the pumkpins.
He wouldnt look at the camera for anything.
Harrison
And out of about 15 pictures with MeMe and Pa, this is the best we got.
They might not be smiling, but at least we got one where they're ALL looking at the camera.
Oh the joys of toddlers.
I can't wait to see how interesting it will be when we finally get to add the twins to the mix.
Should be fun ;)
Happy Monday, Friends!
