Dr. Hieber was extremely pleased with his weight gain and how he is growing. He has almost doubled his birth weight . Compared to other 2 month olds, he said Charlie was right on track. This was such a relief for us to hear knowing he was born so early!! The best news of all was that he said we can drop the middle of the night feeding and to start letting him sleep through the night!!! Yay! We've been trying this over the past week, and last night was the first time he made it 6 hours straight! This will make for a very happy and rested baby, mom, and dad! :)
Some exciting 2 month milestones:
Charlie is no longer finger feeding - feeding him with a syringe
He has moved into size 1 diapers
He can wear newborn clothes now- we moved his preemie clothes to the back of his closet
Charlie is more alert and has more awake time. He can entertain himself for a good 10-15 minutes in his bouncer or swing.
He is recognizing our voices more and pays a lot of attention to light. He is even starting to grin!
Charlie sleeps and takes his naps swaddled in his 'big boy' crib- no longer in the bassinet next to our bed
He enjoys tummy time more now. He has better neck control and is starting to hold his head up for longer periods of time.
He loves to kick whether it is on his playmat.....
or lately he has been a pro getting out of his swaddle and gets extremely fussy
He loves to go on walks with Ripley and I. We try to go on at least one every day if the weather is good!
Charlie is starting to enjoy bath time and is more alert during our reading time too!
He loves hanging out with Dad any chance he gets
We love you Charlie and we can't wait to see what the next month brings!
