Can you believe it's already been two months?? I can't!! It's going to WAY too fast. Anyways, Ashton had his two month appointment and of course my baby is an over achiever in the height and weight department. His stats are as follows:
Weight: 14lbs 6 oz 95%
Height: 24 3/4 in 90%
What's going on in Ashton's second month of life?
You might be pretty (ok, very) tired these days but one look at that little gummy grin makes it all worthwhile.
<--- Yes, I'm exhausted! But, it is so worth it! I really do love waking up with Ashton at night. It's like "our" special bonding time. I think maybe I'm crazy!!??
If he hasn't done so already, your baby is about to crack a spectacular toothless smile. He'll also laugh, coo, and recognize your face and your voice about now.
<--- Yes, Ashton smiles, laughs and coos all the time. I LOVE it!! Some babies may bear weight on their legs when held upright and some may reach for objects.
Especially talented noisemakers will soon discover how to make a razzing sound in addition to producing a variety of vowel combinations (oh-ah!). You're probably getting loads of advice (some unsolicited) about how to get your baby on a schedule and how to deal with nighttime feedings; listen (politely) but remember that what works for one baby (and one set of parents) may not work for your family. Other potential issues at the two-month mark: leaving your baby with a sitter for an evening out and starting the search for the right kind of child care if you'll be returning to work in the coming months (or even if you won't). Keep in mind that maternal separation anxiety (that's right — yours, not your baby's) is totally normal; focusing on ways to minimize your discomfort (i.e., guilt and fear) can help partings and reunions go more smoothly for everyone.
