Two Months Old

Jensen at TWO MONTHS

Weight: 12lbs 10 oz (53rd percentile) - Woah premie baby! That is not even adjusted for being born 4 weeks early.
Height: 22 1/2 inches (15th percentile) - So basically you are short and round. Multiple people have said you look like a basketball :)

Clothing: 3 months
Diaper: size 2

Likes: milk, being worn in a baby carrier, lights, ceiling fans, talking with Mama, Daddy, and Eva, your bird friend on your play mat
Dislikes: pacifiers, being swaddled, your crib, bath time, quietness

Nicknames: buddy, little man, and for some reason Eva calls you "Lolly" (no clue...)

Sleep Schedule: right at 8 weeks old you started doing a good 8-9 hour stretch. I usually feed you around 10:30 PM and you will sleep until 7ish, give or take some time. Your naps are not consistent, mostly you sleep when you are tired. You sleep waaayyyy less than last month but that is normal. One day you would hardly sleep all day long and the next day you spent 16 hours straight just eating or sleeping so it really varies. You mostly sleep in the swing/bouncy seat in the living room, when I wear you in a carrier, or in the car.

Feeding Schedule: Every 1 1/2 hours during the day. You are a hungry little man! You eat a lot all day long to help make up for great sleeping at night. I'll take it. Feeding you only takes 5-10 minutes so it's not too much.

This month we have gotten lots of smiles and coos from you. I love when I get a still moment to just sit and talk with you. I seriously wish I could hold you all day long because I know the infant months go by too fast. You are already so much bigger. A busy life and taking care of big sister means that I have to set you down more than I would chose to.

You are generally content on your play mat or sitting in the bumbo for short periods of time while I get things done, as long as I don't leave you for too long. You love to be in the company of others and are happiest when you are being cuddled and loved. I never took naps with Eva but you will get so sweet and cuddly that I do enjoy nap time with you some days.

You recognize and respond to my voice and Daddy's voice now. If he walks in a room you will turn and smile at him way more than a random person. Sometimes you try to nurse on Daddy....obviously that doesn't work :) But you will take a bottle from him which is awesome.

Eva loves you soooo much. She is always in your face and kissing you. She can't wait to be big enough to carry you. I hope you love her as much because you and her are together for life...there is no getting out of this best friendship. Embrace it.

I hope you stay my little baby for a long time. I love you so much.
