Another month flies by (2 months!)

Brody is two months old today. His 2 month appointment is on Tuesday, so I am not sure exactly how long he is or how much he weighs. However, we can tell he's growing well. He's outgrown many more outfits and will be shifting to 1-2 sized diapers which are slightly bigger than 1. His height continues to be our problem instead of weight. Many onsies fit his belly great, but aren't long enough.

He's eating about 5 times a day for a total of 25-30 ounces of formula. He started settling into a good eating/sleeping schedule and then switched it up on me, showing us that he's still a baby and naturally unpredictable. Some nights we get 8-10 hours of sleep before waking, other nights, he'll wake up after 4-5 hours. Instead of being up most of the morning and napping most of the afternoon, he's now sleeping a lot in the morning and taking a nap much later in the afternoon.

Brody still loves observing people and the environment around him. Walking around the house is a very easy way to keep him entertained. He's also very active and will often fuss if you just try to snuggle. He wants to be free to move around and "stand" on his feet. He's always smiling and starting to giggle a little.

I have less than 4 weeks left home with him, so we're starting to do little things to prepare him for daycare. For starters, I've begun moving his nap location from the swing to his crib. He naps GREAT in his swing, so the switch has been a little difficult. The swing makes him feel warm and secure and will rock him back to sleep when he wakes up. His crib is big and empty and there isn't anyone or anything to put him back to sleep when he stirs. So, we're working on it!

The next month will be very eventful as he starts daycare just before his 3 month mark. Since he's proven to be very adaptable and seems to have an easy-going personality, I am not too worried about him doing well there.
