2 Months

A little someone is 2 months old today!  Crazy to think how fast he is growing up - and I thought the pregnancy went fast....lol!  He's changing so much everyday and getting bigger even faster.  I think we have gotten ourselves into a pretty regular routine now.....but of course there are some days that goes completely out the window with 2 little ones and we just do what we have to do to survive - ha!  Overall, things are going pretty well and the days seem to be getting a little less fussy.  I was re-reading the 1 month post I did and that was just the beginning of some very fussy days.  Cannon definitely found his fussy side - but luckily it was during the day.  As hard as some days have been, it has been much easier to deal with it during the daytime hours vs at night when all you can think about is passing out from exhaustion.  Plus the 2nd time around you know its only temporary and there is light at the end of the tunnel - you can see that a lot more clearly.  I remember with Brooklynn, I never thought we would have a normal life again...but it did get better and this time will too.  I am starting to see him being more interested in things and being content for longer periods of time.....even its its just 10 mins under the floor activity mat or in the bouncer...hey its a start right?  But of course I wouldn't trade any of it in for anything...he really is such a sweetheart and we are enjoying every moment with him - they are only this young once!

Here are a few little tidbits about Cannon at 2 months old:

• 
  
  Weighs in at 11 lbs (according the bathroom scale)  We go for his 2 month check up on Monday so we will see how acccurate that is
• 
  
  Wears size 1 diapers - although they are starting to be a little snug around the tops of his legs so we might have to look into the next size
• 
  
  Still wearing newborn size clothing but they are definitely getting snug - now 0-3 months are fitting the best.  There are a few things in 3 month size that fit too
• 
  
  Still has pretty blue eyes
• 
  
  Great eater - now eating about 5 ozs every 3 hours during the day - we were hoping once we upped his ozs that he would go longer but so far...no such luck.  During the night he is doing great - I feed him around 10:30pm for the last time before bed and then he doesn't wake up until about 4-4:30am which is WONDERFUL b/c Andy gets up with him at that time and feeds him and then heads to work - so I haven't had middle of the night feedings for about a week now....very excited about that!  Then he usually wakes up for the day around 8am.

  Loves to be held & cuddled
• 
  
  Sleeps in his own bed and has been since around 1 month - doing great!  We bypassed the cradle in our room and went straight from sleeping on me to sleeping in his crib in his room - we are all sleeping much better now.
• 
  
  Not a big fan of the swing lately...but loves his bouncy chair.....takes most of his naps during the day in there and just chills out at other times
• 
  
  Starting to enjoy his floor activity mat a lot more and likes to kick at the different toys and watch all the lights flashing
• 
  
  Had a few little smiles here and there - but today while taking his 2 month pics he flashed the biggest smile.....and I actually caught it on camera!!!  I was so excited!

• 
  
  Loves to be outside - but now we are limited to the evenings b/c the Houston heat has arrived and is here to stay for the next 5-6 months....

Anyway.....here are some other pics I have taken over the last few weeks...enjoy!!

These next few pics cracked my mom and me up...I had been trying a cute outfit on Cannon and decided to take some pics and I guess he got tired and just rolled (fell)over and went to sleep right then and there...lol - he was OUT!!!
