| SUPER AUSTIN! At 2 months old exactly you had your had Dr. Appt. You weighed 11lbs 13oz, were 23 inches long and 15.5 inch head. Survived your shots really well. Screamed for a little bit and then was fine. Definitely slept more during the day but wasn’t fussy. I was super surprised! You are wearing 0-3m clothing and a size 1 diaper. Your hair is still an auburn red and seems to be getting thicker, not falling out... your eyes are still blue but I may have been seeing some tiny bits of brown, not 100% sure. This past month was a little rough we couldn’t tell if you had reflux or a food aversion because you had bad gas, stuffy nose, projectile spit up and bad baby acne. You would wake up super cranky anywhere between 4am and 7am because you couldn’t breath. I gave you acid reflux medication and quit dairy and tomatoes. Not sure if that’s the problem or you were just sorting out your digestive issues. You were only sleeping about 1.5 hours to 2 hours between feedings but a friend said to try the swaddle again. We started using a swaddle sack and since then you have been going at least 3 hours and sometimes more. A few times almost 8 hours! Your gas and stuffy nose are gone but you still are spitting up like crazy. I am frequently covered in spit up and soaked at least once a day. Baby acne seems to be finally clearing up, it got really bad for a couple weeks. You also are peeling on your face and scalp fairly badly. You eat about every 2 hours during the day some times more frequently. Whenever you wake up from sleeping, even if it has only been an hour, you think you need to eat again. And when you are sleepy you also think you need to eat. Luckily you will occasionally take a binky to fall asleep. Or I have to walk you around until you calm down and then I can rock you to sleep in the orange recliner. Not the brown one. You sleep at night in the rock n play until around 6am and then usually you ended up sleeping on my chest or arms. You take your naps in the swing but you aren’t a very good napper. Probably due to loud siblings/pestering siblings and you prefer to nap swaddled which doesn’t always happen. You take excellent naps in the baby carrier so I can’t wear you a ton or you would sleep all day. Sometimes when we go on walks I specifically don’t wear you so that you will be awake for part of the walk. You have found your voice and can coo and goo. It is the sweetest little sound, especially when you are begging for more food. You love shadows and the fan. You totally smile at them. And if I am trying to get you to sleep and there are good shadows they totally distract you. Sometimes I’ll turn the light off and use my phone light to make shadows and you love to watch them. Sometimes when you are being cranky if I just set you on your back on the floor it makes you happy. Really weird for my babies! Now tummy time is a different story. You are not a fan. You don’t try and move your head, you just lay there, cry and kick your legs. If I lay on the ground on the other side, sometimes you will lift up and move your head to look at me and then go back to crying. Mom is definitely your favorite person to be with. You are ok with Adleigh holding you and sometime she can calm you down by bouncing you or walking you. She did trip once and drop/fall with you, that made you very very angry but you were fine. You do not like being woken up. One day you were sleeping on me when Breydon woke up. I set you down and woke you up. Man you were pissed until you fell asleep an hour later. When you think you need to nurse you start breathing rapidly through your nose. If that doesn’t get you food then you start doing the bird pecks an my shoulder. You love baths as long as you are warm so I always have a wash cloth on your tummy and legs. You just hate getting out. And you really hate being lotioned. You do not like when your siblings kiss you on your head. You are also super sensitive to pain, any tiny bonk makes you cry the same as when you are super mad. |

He really looks like his Weirich cousins in that last photo.
