8 Weeks!

That is right folks, he is almost 2 months old! And boy oh boy how he has changed! He changes daily...one day needing me to rock him to sleep and the other wanting to lay there alone to drift off. Some days I think we are getting on a schedule and then others are completely cuckoo. He does pretty well to sleep at night though- usually we are up once somewhere around 2-4am to feed and get changed and then he goes back to sleep without too much trouble. Napping during the day definitely helps him to sleep at night and we are working hard to make sure we get some good naps in during the day, even if it means I have to hold him the whole time.

Leo is growing so much and I can't wait to go to his 2 month well-check and see just exactly how long and fat he is...although I'm not that excited about the shots. Leo is growing out of some of his 0-3 month clothing already and I am sad that he wears a size 2 diaper, but it was definitely time to make that switch.

He still loves getting his diaper changed and will smile and talk to you when he is on his changing table...even if it is at 3am! He has definitely become more aware of his hands and tries to put them in his mouth and rub his eyes. The cutest thing is when he giggles in his sleep- I wonder what an 8 week old dreams about that is funny? :)

Bath time is a high light and becoming more and more necessary...it is common these days (for the first time since he was born) to wear 2 or more outfits in a day. Nick likes to call him a "prolific pooper"; I just say that he is like his dad :) Last Sunday he came home in just a onesie and a blanket as he pooped on everything else! Welcome to motherhood...

Leo is starting to put a bit of weight on his legs and will "stand" with your assistance for a few seconds at a time. His hair is getting lighter and lighter while he chubby folds are getting deeper and deeper! He still loves his tummy and laying up on mommy's chest and you can never go wrong with a walk in his stroller!

We love our little boy!
