Anything But Ordinary: Two Month Update

Saturday marked the two month point for our newest little bundle of joy. I can't believe he's that old already - time definitely goes by a LOT quicker with the third one. I suppose because we are so busy with the other two. It has been an awesome two months though and I can honestly say that we are loving life with three children.

So far, Cohen has been a wonderful baby. He is super content and basically only cries when he's hungry. He is VERY smiley! He started giving us regular smiles around 5 weeks of age - which is crazy early! But we love it. Most days he wakes up around 9:30 am, eats and goes back down for a nice long nap until lunch. Then he eats again and naps for the majority of the afternoon. He awake for a little bit around supper and then usually sleeps for most of the evening. Then once the older two kids are in bed, he's usually awake for a couple hours until he goes back down for the night. Most nights he sleeps for a good five to six hours before I'm up to feed him again. Then he goes back down and is sometimes up once more before his 9:30-10:00 am feeding. It's a great schedule that is working very well for us so far!

The other two kids are very good with him as well. Shaela loves to lay beside him on the couch and sing to him. It's the sweetest thing in the world! And he loves it - he gives her great big smiles every time she sings. Xavier also really likes him and will often come over and give him a little snuggle or a rub on the head before he's off to play again.

As for how big he is, we don't go for his 2 month check up until the 23rd, so we'll find out then as well as get his shots. I did step on the scale with him a few weeks ago and he was about 12 and a half pounds, so I'm guessing he's somewhere around the 13-14 pound mark by now. He's in 3-6 month clothes right now but I don't think he'll be in them much longer.

All in all, I have no complaints! Aside from those first two days when he had his days and nights mixed up, he is by far our easiest baby yet. He's been a great addition to our family and we love him to pieces!!
