10 weeks - Pumpkin Patch

Sunday, October 21st we took AJ to the pumpkin patch. I love Fall/Halloween although I haven't found the time to get down my decorations yet. The weather was perfect and he behaved during his adventure. He is on a sleep strike at the moment and is killing me! I try reasoning with him but as expected, he doesn't care. I'm hoping this phase is over soon and we go back to sleeping the night. I was spoiled with a few 8 hour evenings only to revert back to up every 2-3 hours.

Here is our little pumpkin.

2 months old

AJ turned 2 months old on Sunday. He had his well baby check-up on Monday and weighed in at 12 lbs 3 ozs and is now 23.5 inches long which puts him in the 60th percentile. He was not happy about the four shots he received, but at least he got cool camo band-aids.

Two on each side

Everyday I add another piece of clothing to the "Does not fit anymore" box. He is too long for several of the one piece outfits that are size 3 months. We pulled out PJ's in 3-6 months.

Developmentally he is right on track. He loves to smile and talk to you. I can't wait for him to actually giggle - he seems so close. Tummy time isn't a huge hit but he will tolerate it. He likes to get on his toes and pull himself with his fists clenched on the blanket.

Ignore the blurry hands..his little smirk was too cute not to share

He loves to kick on the floor

 

8 weeks old

AJ is 8 weeks old and weighs 12 lbs 2 ozs. I packed away his 0-3 PJs this week as they aren't long enough anymore. It doesn't feel like two months have past since we welcomed him into our lives. He is smiling more and babbling all the time. We are still working on his awful sleep habits. I'm open to any suggestions! He will stay awake for at least 5 hours and then he is exhausted but he does not fall asleep on his own. It takes lots of rocking and then transferring him to his crib.

Daddy had last week off to spend time with us. We took AJ for his first trip to Napa.
