Happy Two Month Birthday!

Evan, you are TWO months old today!  I cannot believe how fast time has flown.  I am sure that I will look back on this and forget just how small you are.

Eat:

You are nursing every 1-3 hours during the day.  You go to bed between 9 - 10:30 and usually wake up once or twice in the night to eat.  It's much better than it was before!  We are both more comfortable with nursing and it's actually enjoyable now!  We have started having staring sessions while you eat during the day.  We are still giving you a bottle every now and then, but you definitely prefer to nurse.  We will continue to give you more bottles so you are ready to go to the babysitter in late August.

 Sleep:

You wake up anywhere from 5:30 - 7:00am each day.  You usually take some small naps and then a nice long nap from noon - 3pm.  I try to nap a little with you each day so I'm in a good mood when Dad comes home.  We have a nightly routine of bath, nurse, and bedtime each night.  You are enjoying your warm bath time!

Sizes:

We can still squeeze you into some newborn outfits, but we mostly put you in 0-3 month outfits.  You can fit into a lot of Carter 3 month outfits and Gerber 6-9 month onesies.   You are in size 1 diapers but I am excited to say that we are no longer using disposable diapers!  We are now diapering you in exclusively cloth diapers.  The only time we plan on using disposable diapers is when we travel overnight.  

Stats:

Weight: 10 lbs, 10 oz (25th percentile)
Height: 22.5 inches (32nd percentile)

Likes:

You love being held in the Baby Bjorn.  It is our go-to item for when you are fussy.  You enjoy being bounced, and you only want to be held in a position where you are sitting up.  You are happiest in the mornings or right after you wake up from a nap.  That is when we get the most smiles out of you!  You like your musical seahorse.  Dad thought it was silly and hideous at first, but it helps put you to sleep at nap time.  Now he is a fan!  You enjoy car rides, staring at Joey, and looking at people.  You love napping in your bouncy chair or laying next to me while we nap together.

Dislikes:

You are your fussiest in the evenings around 6pm.  We have your quirks figured out and know how to calm you down well.  You don't enjoy getting your diaper changed unless you have a full tummy.  You despise laying flat on your back and we hope that this will change soon so you can begin sleeping in your crib.

Firsts:

You had many, many firsts this month!  You are now smiling a lot more during the day.  You are holding a person's gaze for a significant amount of time and we just love that.  You are holding up your head much better and you are becoming better at tummy time.


This month you went golfing for the first time (well, we went golfing at Top Golf to celebrate a friend's birthday).  I know that Dad will take you golfing MUCH more in the future.

You also met your future bride!  Lilian Haberer (future Lilian Baggerly) was born less than 24 hours before you!  Y'all are so adorable together.  We are hoping that y'all get along when you grow up (before you fall in love of course at the scheduled age of 30 - that is the age that Lilian's dad is allowing her to date).  They came to visit us once and we were able to visit them as well.  We have even decided to partake in family vacations starting next summer!

You made your first 5 hour trip to Houston to meet your Uncle Nick and Aunt Kathryn.  They love you oh so much!

You even attended your very first wedding!  Nita and Gerald got married on May 26th and you were the youngest guest.  You did very well and the three of us enjoyed dancing together for the first time!

You took your second road trip to Temple and Austin to visit family!  You met Bekah, one of my very best friends, and also met your Mema (Matt's grandmother) and some extended family.  You also met your Uncle Shane for the first time too! 

We have loved spending all of our time with you this past month and are eager to see how you will grow and change next month as well!
