2 Months

Really...2 months already?!?!  It is going by sooo fast.

Here is a 2 month picture...

Yes...he is incredibly tired in this picture...it was right before bedtime. (He inherited that beautiful glare from his mother)

So here is how big my little chunky monkey is...

Height: 23.5 Inches (70th percentile)
Weight: 13 lbs. 2 oz. (80th percentile)

Bottom line....he is HUGE!  So today at church I was looking around at all the other babies.  Zac is currently the youngest baby in the ward and there are easily 7 other babies right now (rough estimate).  The closest to Zac's age is 3 months...my baby is bigger than all of them except one!  I can't believe how fast he is growing...he is pretty dang close to growing out of the 0-3 months clothes already.

He is still doing a pretty good job sleeping.  He goes to bed around 10, sleeps until 2ish, eats, wakes up about 6ish, eats, wakes up about 10ish, eats, up for a little while, takes a quick 30 minute snoozer around 11:30ish, and then a good nap in the afternoon.  Though this doesn't happen perfectly everyday...it happens more often than it doesn't.  Good for my sanity

Things he is up to...he has found his hands and likes to chew on them.  He has found his thumb a few times, and we think it is only a matter of a few weeks before he is sucking on them all the time.  We are starting to figure him out and what his cries mean.  He has really good head control and pretty much holds it up all the time.  He is starting to stand in our arms though he can only do it for about 20 seconds at a time.  He LOVES baths.  They are the only way to calm him down at night when he is grouchy and ready for bed....speaking of grouchy....he really takes after his mommy when he is tired.  Neither of us are very nice to be around when we are tired.  Call me a bad mother but both him and I prefer that he sleeps on his stomach.  He still sleeps on his back, but he sleeps better and longer on his tummy (and no flat head).

He wants to be held all the time, which is hard on my back but it is easier to hold him all day than getting frustrated from him crying all the time if he is not.

Bottom line...we love him and get excited each time he does something new!

I can't believe it has been two months either! Before we even get to meet him I'm sure he'll be walking. He sure is a cutie!
