Hooray!! Our boys are two months old and growing great! (Which is especially important for preemies.) Month two has brought lots of new adventures and the best part... Y'all are sleeping 7-8 hours at night for the past week. Heck yes!!! I know there will be growth spurts and such to come that will change that but for now I'm celebrating this!
Y'all had your first boat ride at 6.5 weeks and then were old pros at it by the time we went on vacation at the end of the month. Y'all also experienced the beach for the first time and the combination of the breeze and vibrating bouncy seats put y'all both into great slumbers during your beach time. Which was a lot for 8 week olds! We took y'all to hilton head for the first time and our yearly tradition of going to dockside for dinner in Beaufort. You two were just all over the place this month and did so great!
Graham, you still spit up about half of your food, you little booger! The clogged tear duct is gone though. You don't require as much sleep as your brother and aren't as easily pleased riding in a car ;-). You weighed in at 7 lb 7 oz at your two month appointment, which is great.
Thomas, you sleep a LOT and self soothe pretty easy during the day but you still require some extra love around 6-10 pm. (It's okay, both of y'all like to be held during those hours). You finally got on the growth chart at two months at the 1st %! You weighed 9 lb 1 oz.
Y'all are both in newborn diapers although we will probably switch Thomas to size 1 soon. No more preemie clothes. Woohoo! 0-3 months and newborn clothes are finally fitting. Y'all eat every three hours during the day and are doing fantastic at night. Mama appreciates that:-)
Y'all are both holding your head up well on our chest but not at tummy time. I haven't seen many smiles yet, but the doc told us that for the first two years of your lives... Y'all would be a little behind on milestones so I'm not worried about it.
We are so thankful for you both, you have made our family complete and we couldn't imagine it without you. Love you boys to the moon and back.
