two month checkup

Miles had his two month checkup two weeks ago (5-21.)
9 weeks old
weight: 14lbs 8oz 95th-99th%
length: 23 3/4" 75%
Go big boy!
He had his first set of vaccinations. Poor little guy ran a low-grade fever for nearly a week. He felt rotten. I am not looking forward to the four month shots!
Overall, he's doing great. He's sleeping, napping and at night, in his crib now. I was afraid he'd outgrow the bouncy seat before we moved him to his bed! The prevacid is still helping with the reflux pain. The spitting up is still there... you never know when you're going to get hosed by baby spit-up. Logan says "uh-oh, spit!" when Miles spits up.
He started laughing aloud at 9weeks. It's so cute and of course he thinks his mommy is so funny! (duh!)
I was beginning to pull my hair out because since birth, Miles has nursed every two hours. It's like the boy has a clock with an alarm that's set for exactly two hours. It never failed, he began fussing to eat. So, over the last 2 or so weeks, I've really been trying to get him to stretch for three hours. Of course, baby boy was having none of that! Then for some reason, on Monday he started going three hours between nursing. Hallelujah! I'm so ecstatic with this recent development.
Miles' bedtime has been between 8-9pm since about 6 weeks. He pretty much put himself to bed then. As of a few days ago, he's upped his bedtime to about 7:30pm. So now both children go to bed at about the same time! It makes life a little bit interesting when Jordan's out-of-town. However, it is nice once they're both asleep to have a little downtime.
I have one more thing to brag about... I can put Miles down awake in his bed and he'll fall asleep on his own! Anyone that's had a baby knows how nice that is. Let's hope it continues!


Here are some pictures from last week (10weeks)

He's definitely a big little guy... but not pudgy, fat-roll big =)

Two Months (8 weeks)

Miles turned two months old yesterday. He's smiling quite often and trying to talk more. He's still a great sleeper and we've actually started transitioning him to his crib and out of the bouncy seat. It's been interesting trying to get his mattress elevated and while at the same time, attempting to keep him from sliding to the bottom of the crib. We're hoping he outgrows the reflux soon! He has his 2 mth checkup on thursday, so it will be interesting to see how much he weighs and what his length is. I'm betting he's around 14lbs. He is a substantial little guy!

family photos!

About three weeks ago, we had some family photos taken. Miles was about 41/2 weeks old. Logan was not super cooperative. She wanted nothing to do with the camera! Here are a handful of my favorites. To see them better, click on the collage and it will enlarge.

Papa and Miles. Check out that chunky little guy!

Papa and Logan... Logan was supposed to be in the bed. She thinks it's great fun to watch tv with papa when she's supposed to be asleep.

I hope all you moms had a nice Mother's Day. I certainly did and I can't wait to start enjoying my new coffee pot! I can now make a cup of coffee whenever with just the press of a button!

sprinkler fun

With the weather being warm, we got the sprinkler out for a little fun. Needless to say, Logan had a blast!

The water is a little chilly!

Pimento cheese sandwiches are best a little bit soggy.

Check out those sunglasses. They're still missing a lens.

7 weeks

One of Logan's very favorite things to do is to go outside. This girl would stay outside forever if we'd let her!

She loves these glasses. She insists on wearing them even though one lens is missing. One would think it would hurt your eyes to wear them like this... I suppose fashion comes before comfort!

Miles had his one month checkup on April 20th, so he was actually 5 weeks old. He weighed 11lbs 3oz (75%)
He's definitely a little chunker. He's starting to get some super cute leg rolls on his thighs! He is still doing well with Prevacid for his reflux. He continues to be a good sleeper. Last night, he slept from 9:30-4:30am straight! He's still sleeping in the bouncy seat, but hopefully soon he'll be in the crib! He started smiling at five weeks and has been 'talking' a lot, too. He is really alert and aware during the daytime and has such a sweet disposition. Logan still loves her 'baby brother' and talks about him all the time. I picked her up from mdo last week and when Miles and I walked in, a little girl in her class said, "There's baby brother!"

Smiling at 5 weeks
