2 Months Old!

I know - I'm a couple days late. But, I wanted to wait until he had his 2-month check up so I could include all of his stats! 

Everyone had their guess and I'm sure yall are eagerly waiting to see who was the closest. Drum roll please....

Weight:  12lbs 1.5oz  - 40-50th percentile 

Which means... GRAMMA you are the winner! Omi, I know you went over, but I'd say a close 2nd place! 

Height:  22in - 15-20th percentile (Doc said this number doesn't really matter until he starts to stand)

Head:  50the percentile

So all in all, this guy is pretty average and is growing perfectly. He checked out great on everything else and the doc had no concerns. We walked out with 3 shots, 1 oral med and 1 unhappy baby  :(

On a lighter note, take a look at our little guy!

A big thanks to Omi for the adorable overalls!!

Some fun facts about Miles:

- He snores/makes piggy noises

- His eyes are turning more and more blue as the days go on

- He's wearing 3-month clothes in Carter's brand (though a little big) and still in newborn for everything else

- Moved up in diaper sizes (we realized the jump from NB to size 1 in pampers was ridiculous. So, we're on Huggies for right now since their size 1 is a bit smaller)

- Starting to "stand" / hold his own weight

- He's getting more interested at grabbing or hitting things/toys

- He loves walks in the stroller and still loves his car rides

- Although this is going to change, his current schedule is 30 min of eating time, 30 min of play time and then down for a nap that lasts about 2-3 hours (if I'm lucky!)

- Still eating about 4-6 ounces every 3-4 hours. He spans 6 hours at night which is SO nice

- We've been able to get out of the house more and more and he seems to like the change in scenery

- Loves looking at the blinds and ceiling fans

- Hates tummy time. We're working hard at it and he's getting better. He can lift his head for a bit, but this dude is just so lazy. He just lays there and sucks his hands until he gets mad. Then he buries his face in the blanket and cries.

- He has great head/neck strength when held upright, but still a bit wobbly

- He's SMILING!

- He's starting to talk, coo and makes these funny squawking noises

- Recent nick names:  Little man, bud, buddy

- Favorite nighttime tunes:  Ocean waves and rain forest simultaneously. Seems like he likes imagining he's falling asleep at the beach while it's raining haha

Although the nights are still tough, we're so excited to start seeing his little personality come through.

You can see in the far right corner - that's Stephen sticking his tongue out. Miles is trying to imitate :P

Post wouldn't be complete without proof that while our baby is ADORABLE, he's not always so tolerant ha!

Eight

8 is the number of hours Miles slept last night.

8 is the number of weeks it took for him to do it.

Anomaly? Not sure... but we're hopeful!

He's sucking his tongue :P

Live on Camera

Since we got that first cute smile, I've been trying to capture the real thing on video. I caught him in a super smiley mood today and was able to grab some footage. Enjoy!

Disregard my weird talking in the background...you find one thing that works and do it over and over until they've figured out it's not funny anymore. ha!

And another of this cutie!

Cast Your Vote

Alright people. Today marks exactly one week before this little guy turns 2 months. While our doctor's appointment isn't until the 27th, I felt it necessary to start the collection of votes now.

Votes? What votes? Well - here's the deal. We're taking guesses on how big our teeny baby has gotten (cue the sad face because my baby is growing so fast). Price is right rules here. Closest without going over. Comment below and we'll see who that lucky winner is!

My Official guess:  11 lbs
Stephen's Official guess:  12 lbs 8 oz

Those overalls make him look so old, but dang are they cute!

Comparison

Since Miles was born, everyone keeps saying he is all Stephen, and I agree! In my opinion, Miles looks just like him. But, it peaked my curiosity. How much does he look like Stephen and how much like me? I tried to find photos of Miles that were close to the ones I found of both of us as babies to give the best comparison. I'll let you be the judge!

Newborn:

 6 Week - 2 Months:

I think it's pretty obvious this kid is all his dad. :)

Smiles from Miles

Up until now, Miles' smiles were all reactions to toots or similar. Although cute, none of them were "real" yet....until now! I am convinced these smiles are reactions to my crazy antics. Holy moly, so adorable!

I didn't get his big smile on film, but we got super close!

Playing Catch Up

Things have been a bit crazy around here - and not because we have a baby. Our kitchen's filtered faucet was installed incorrectly and we had a massive leak in our kitchen. The timing, with Harvey, couldn't have been worse. Our situation doesn't come close to comparing to those in Houston, Port A or areas by the coast, so while it's inconvenient for us, we can deal with a construction zone for awhile. Such bad luck though. Doesn't seem like anything is going our way with this home...

We were "kicked" out of the house while Servepro was cleaning and setting up equipment for the leak. So Miles and I went over to visit the Gates. The girls were pumped!

From there, we decided to drive up and surprise Gramma. It was Miles' first trip to Gramma's house and I think she might have been just as pumped as the girls to see him.

Disregard the wet shirt. He may have puked a bit in the car. (Don't worry - we changed him shortly after this photo)

He's getting more and more engaged and was super interested in Gramma's glasses!

And a few more random photos for your viewing pleasure!

He's LOVING this baby playground he got from Grammie A & Grandpa Fred :)

Crazy hair! This is what happens when Stephen feeds him. ha!

Mama's "juice"

Sleepy boys

Gameday! Go Wildcats!

And to top yall off - a cutie video of Miles trying to imitate Stephen by sticking his tongue out. It's hit or miss, but he's getting close to imitating facial expressions. So fun!
