Carson- 2 Months

For my entire pregnancy I was convinced that we (the boys and I) would not survive the summer. Carson's due date was terrible timing with camp and such, yet here we are-- the summer is coming to an end and Carson is two months old!

Stats:
Weight: 13.12 lbs/ 90th percentile
Height: 23.5 in/75th percentile

This last month has brought a lot of changes for Carson. He has, finally, relaxed some and lets me put him down occasionally. He likes to sit in his swing, or lay in our bed, or occasionally sit in his bouncy seat. Though he still prefers to be held.

Jenny visited last week and came bearing gifts! One of which was this great Moby wrap. We love it!

Just look at that cute face! (Carson's, not mine)

He LOVES his pacifiers.

He eats every 3 hours usually-- a stretch from the first month or so when he was eating every 1.5 to 2 hours.

First bottle-- 6 weeks old. He did great!

 
He is less violently opposed to baths and diaper changes.

He smiles!

He is very alert, holds his head up, and really likes to look around.

He loves to sit outside.

He is trying really hard to roll over.

He has a slight receding hair line...

He goes from calm to hysterical in about 0.5 seconds.

I feel like we are starting to get to a good place, beginning to figure out how to handle all of the changes and stresses that come with a new baby. Carson starting to calm down some has vastly improved our days. Carver has, for the most part, been very sweet to him. He brings him pacifiers and tries to stuff them in his mouth. He pets him on the head and says, "aw sweet." In the mornings he usually gets in my bed and lays down for awhile with Carson. Watching them together is already one of my very favorite things.

We have overcome some challenges and are waiting for the next ones to arrive. It nothing else, things are never boring around here.

I know it goes without saying, but I really wish Delia wasn't missing from this picture.
