Two Months Old

You love to look out the windows!

Firsts: going with mommy to vote, first real bath in your bathtub, trip to the pumpkin patch, getting your Christmas pictures made, going to church (you got to see Jenna get baptized- it was a very special day), visiting mommy's special friend Mrs. Susan (she was mommy's Bible study teacher in high school- you are the first Bible study grandbaby), shopping trip to Huntsville with mommy and Granna (you got to go to 2 of mommy's favorite places: P.F. Chang's and Target), getting your picture made with Santa, first trip to Wal-Mart, first night away from Mommy and Daddy (you spent the night with Granna and Grandaddy and did great), first time sleeping through the night! (ok, it only happened once, but we'll take it!)

News Headlines: Auburn won the Iron Bowl, Auburn is going to the SEC Championship (and so are Mommy and Daddy) to play South Carolina, Prince William is engaged to Kate Middleton- they will marry in April


Milestones: You are definitely smiling more now, and even let out an occasional giggle! Apparently, these are called "social smiles" and are very important in your development. You can recognize mommy and daddy now. You are getting so good at holding your head up! It's still a little wobbly, but we're practicing! Sometimes you even push up with your arms to help.


Measurements: Well, we haven't been to the doctor- we go on Dec. 2 for your 2 month check up. But Mommy has weighed you at home and you are around 11-12 pounds! Daddy used a measuring tape to see how long you are and you're about 24 inches. You are a big boy! No more newborn diapers or clothes for you! You're now in size 1 diapers and mostly 0-3 month clothes. Mommy had to pack away clothes for the first time this month, and it made her very sad :(


Mommy and Daddy's Favorites: Everything is our favorite! We love your smiles and giggles. Your sneezes are especially cute because we think you scare yourself and throw your arms up in the air!


Challenges: Everyone who knows us knows this answer....daytime naps!! Oh boy, you love to stay awake during the day, and would all day if you could. This makes for a very sleepy/cranky baby by 4 or 5 in the afternoon. You may take 1 or 2 short naps during the day- mommy has tried everything to get you to sleep. One way is driving down bumpy roads! But, you are a good night sleeper, so I guess I would rather you sleep at night! Hopefully, next month we won't have this "challenge" anymore!


Like Mommy: When you sneeze, you can never do it only once. You are a double-sneezer, and so is mommy! She actually could be a triple or quadruple-sneezer!

Like Daddy: We have been told many times that you look like daddy, especially your eyes. A sweet lady working the polls at the election said, "I think he's going  to be a Weathers!!" We sure hope so! :) You also have daddy's hairline...haha. :)

Our Days: Well, last month we did not have much of a schedule, but this month is a little better. You are definitely on a schedule at night. You usually eat around 7-7:30 and are in bed before 9. You wake up around 1:00 to eat, and again around 5-5:30. Then, usually you go back to sleep for an hour or so, and our days officially start around 7. Mommy showers and gets ready and you eat breakfast after that. If you saw the "Challenges" part of this post, you know that you don't sleep much during the day. You may nap an hour or so in the morning, and maybe a couple 30-45 naps in the afternoon, but that's it. Daddy comes home around 5:30-6 and we make and eat dinner. Next month, maybe we'll be saying that you sleep all night!


How we celebrated: Well, Mommy posted this a little late because....we've been in AUBURN! We left after Thanksgiving lunch with the Weathers family. We thought we'd go for a couple days before mommy goes back to work next month. So, another first for you is a trip to Auburn!


Sweet baby, we can't believe how fast time has gone by! You are growing and changing every day. We love every minute we have with you. Mommy and Daddy love you! :)




Here are some pictures from this month:

 The only picture we took in Auburn- this is at Niffer's. I know, I know, we should have taken more. We were only there for 1 full day, and it was cold and rainy all day long! Next time, we will take a bunch of pictures! :)
