My Boy is TWO MONTHS! I don't know how it's possible! It equally feels like: he's been here forever, I was just pregnant for 900 days, I was just pregnant for 9 seconds, he just got here, and "look at this adorable baby! Where did he come from?!" Every *single* day I look at him and just feel so damn thankful. Thankful that he is here, thankful that he is healthy, thankful that I get to spend my days soaking him in. I've always loved babies and loved being a mom, but this overwhelming feeling of just being so thankful that I have the opportunity to have him, and to be his mother is unique to T. Bear.
Teddy continues to be an absolute beast of a boy. He's grown some great leg and arm rolls. I may have shed a few tears this morning when I tried to put him in a pair of (new, never worn) john-johns to go the the strawberry patch and I couldn't pull them up past his knee. I have no idea how much he drinks, but he can drain a full boob that I can pump and get 6+ ounces out of. We are wearing the last of our size 1 diapers, and the box of size 2 diapers are already en route to our house. He wears mostly size 0-3 with some 3-6 months already in the mix. Like Juliet, Teddy has the herniated belly button which makes it look like 1/2 of his umbilical cord is still attached. Chris and I are taking bets on what his 2 month stats will be. Both girls weighed around 11.5 pounds at their 2 month appointment. We're betting that he's at least 14 pounds. Teddy loves to nurse, and really tries to eat as much as possible in the evenings before bed. He occasionally pukes it all up, but, thankfully, that's relatively uncommon.
Teddy continues to be such a smiley, happy boy. He loves to "talk" to his mama. He lights up when his sisters and Daddy dote on him. He's beginning to grab and hold on. It's so sweet when he falls asleep on me clutching my hair or a strap on my shirt. We took him out to few events this month, and he rallied hard to stay awake as much as possible at all of them. He likes to feel like he's part of the action. The nice thing was that he came home a slept amazingly well after all of them. It's not uncommon for him to sleep for 4-6 hours straight now. He continues to just grunt when he wakes up at night. He rarely cries at night, and during the day only cries when I put him down for too long. While he has a few cranky spells a week, they are pretty short lived. Most of the time Teddy does well in the car seat and/or car (THANK GOD!).
Teddy is coming pretty close to laughing. So far, he only does it in his sleep, or at the walls. He does some great squeals for us, but we're all waiting for him to laugh at us. Fingers crossed it will be soon!
Teddy's sisters love him dearly. The new thing we do is play music from my phone and dance around. Teddy feels the music deeply and enjoys this activity immensely. His favorite song is Backstreet Boys "I want it that way". His favorite activity is practicing standing as well as being bounced in his Baby Bjorn chair. Teddy enjoys his morning and/or evening walks.
We love this sweet boy so, so much!
