2 months old

Carson is a sturdy little guy.

He's strong and can hold his head up really well.

He enjoys being on his belly... but only for sleeping during naps, not for actual "tummy time".

He started smiling when he turned 8 weeks old. He's got such big cheeks, his eyes disappear when he smiles or cries... (It's so true Aunt Les!)

2 month stats: 15pounds7ounces (over 95%!) 24 inches long

Did well with 2 month shots - cried during them but stopped as soon as I picked him back up.

Wearing size small Fuzzibunz. Started wearing size 3 huggies at 7 weeks!

He fits very well into Carter's 6 month outfits. A few 3-6 month clothing lines also still fit, but most are getting snug.

He sleeps really well overnight - eats around 9ish and then falls to sleep, typically wakes up just once overnight (anywhere from 3:30-5:30) and then will go back to sleep until around 7 or so. He'll be up for an hour or 2 and then take a morning nap - then up for a few hours and then sleep for a good nap in the afternoon/early evening. There have been a few days where he's stayed awake for a 5-6 hour stretch at a time.

He is such a mellow baby. He only cries when something is wrong - but doesn't just cry to cry (like Laura did!) If he's fussing- he's either hungry, gotta burp, gotta fart or wants to rock in the chair a little to fall asleep.

Overnight, he makes little grunty noises when he wakes up to eat. It's just loud enough for me to hear him, but not loud enough to wake Laura or Richie. I'm typically out of bed with him for just 15-20 minutes (sometimes less!) and then back to bed.

I'm sad to say that I think time seems to be going by faster with baby #2... I think because we're so busy with 2 kids now.
