Dear Elijah,
I was going to wait and do the next update at 2 months, but you are changing so much every day, I just couldn't wait. You are so amazing! Daddy and I never stop being amazed by you. We think you are very smart! And we know you are very strong.
Weight: At the BF group on Monday you were 12 pounds 15 ounces with a diaper on! (And then 13 pounds after eating!)
Height: No update on this
Clothes: Still in 0-3 clothes. Though some are getting a little tight! Your torso is long!
Diapers: Wearing size 2, but you do fit in size 1. You have had a really bad diaper rash for a week and a half so you haven't been able to wear cloth! I miss seeing all your cute diapers! Hopefully you can be back in cloth Monday or Tuesday.
Sleep: One night you slept 6.5 hours! And I slept 6! I woke up and panicked and put my hand on your chest to make sure you were breathing! That only happened once though. After you wake up to eat, you usually go back to sleep right away, so we are lucky! In the morning if you don't want to sleep by yourself, I sometimes let you eat and then come to bed with me for another hour or two. You LOVE that! You have started grunting a lot in your sleep. I don't know if you are having tummy troubles or just dreaming about breaking out of your swaddle!? Often before you fall asleep you scream and cry a lot. I know your tired cry, but people think it sounds very distressing! We just keep bouncing/swinging and shushing you and then suddenly you will be out!
Eating: You still love to eat a lot! You are an efficient eater. At the BF group I love to be able to do a weigh and feed so I can see how much you are getting in the short amount of time you eat! On Monday you ate 3.5 ounces on one side in under 10 minutes!
Likes: You have discovered your hands and you like to suck on them. We are excited you are starting to do it to soothe yourself. You also love to lay in our bed to sleep and snuggle with me. You are also starting to really like baths. You get baths in the big tub now with a bath chair and you think it is fun!
Dislikes: Having your face washed. We save that for the end of the bath so when we are done, we can scoop you up and hold you and then you are happy! You also don't like waiting to eat when you want to eat NOW.
Oh! And this: This week was Family Fest at church and you were a rockstar! First, you were the star of the show. Second, everyone was so amazed at what a good baby you were the whole time. You spent most of the time sleeping in the carrier and you were very content.
New Tricks: You smile at us a lot now! It is the best feeling ever. It melts my heart every time!
