2 Months
- 11 lbs. 13oz. (55%)
- 22.5 in. long (36%)
- size 2 diapers
- wearing mostly 0-3 month clothes, but quickly heading towards 3-6 months. (Which for boys clothes means he can almost wear the cute little man outfits ALL the time!)
- sleeping anywhere from 2-6 hrs at night...Gage is not exactly our super sleeper. He likes to party at night (and he has acid reflex, which doesn't help either), but we are working on it!
- started smiling ALL the time at 7 weeks, and is starting to coo. So sweet to listen to!
- does NOT like tummy time, but that also has a lot to do with his reflux.
- he LOVES to be around his big brother...he lights up when he sees Braeden. It melts my heart!
- Gage is a fighter. At 5 weeks old, he came down with the flu...the real flu :( He didn't have many signs of it, but I knew he had been exposed because some people we were hanging out with the weekend before all came down with it, and tested positive for it. Not to mention, I had symptoms and so did Zach. After a day full of dr. appts, we found out that Zach, Gage, and I all had the flu. Unfortunately there was nothing we could do except pray that Gage kept his fever down. (He started to show minimal signs of the flu the evening after he tested positive.) Prayers worked, and we were blessed to keep sweet little Gage out of the hospital! Note to self, and everyone reading this: get the flu shot!
3 Months
- not too sure about his weight and length since we did not have a dr. appt this month, but based on how his clothes fit, he's growing FAST!
- size 2 diapers
- 3-6 month clothes, but starting to wear a few 6-9 month
- sleeping at night much better...6-9 hours! He's still in our room, but I plan to move him into his own soon. I'm just nervous about messing up Braeden's good sleeping record :)
- talking a lot, especially with his big bro. He just LOVES Braeden, and B loves him. Braeden is always talking to him and telling him to "give me those smiles Gage!".
- Gage really enjoys watching people. He likes to be in the middle of what's going on, and gets upset if he is not included.
- He likes noisy places, but does NOT like abrupt sounds...like sudden cheering at a baseball game. This must change quickly, especially since the Astros baseball season is starting. This is strange to me because Braeden could sleep through the canons going off at a UT football game, so cheering was never an issue. Should be interesting ;)
I have really adjusted to my life with 2 boys. I can get in and out of the car much faster now, and am learning everyday how to be more efficient with my time. I LOVE my life and my boys!
