2 Months And Counting!




My Riley Boy is 2 months!

Where has the time gone? He is growing everyday in so many different ways.
He brings a smile to our face everytime we see him.
He still is in his newborn clothes, but some of them are getting a little tight on hin, soon he will be in his 3 month clothes. Im hoping by May he will be a little bigger in order to fit in his blessing outfit.

He is starting to eat more and sleeping longer. I kind of have a routine for him, so he can sleep good at night. I give him a bath, feed him, rock him to sleep, and by 8:30 or 9 he is fast asleep. And he will sleep until 2 or 3 in the morning. He will eat again, and by half way of the bottle he is sleeping again. So, he is doing pretty good.

On Monday, we went to the doctor for his 2 month well check. I was wondering how much he would weight. The night before we were all guessing on how much he weighs, so I went on my mom's scale to see how much I weighed with him in my arms, and then we subtracted his weight from mine, and the scale told us that he was 10 pounds. I didn't beleive it. So, when Riley was on the baby scale he weighed 9 pounds 10 ounces, and was 22 inches long. I was shocked he gained that much weight in 2 months.

The one thing I'm working on is having him sleep in his crib, rather in my arms in the rocking chair at night. Hopefully we can work on this, so he doesn't get used to sleeping with me every night.

Some of his favorite things to do is..
- Just lay on the floor and move his little body
- Make cute little noises, like he is talking to us
- Snuggle
- Smile

We love having Riley in our lives, he is such a sweet little boy.
We love him so much!
