2 months old

Caden turned 2 months old on Sunday, the 21st of July!  Time sure flies when you're having fun and boy are we having fun!  Mitch started back to work full time this week so that has been an adjustment for all of us.  We are very grateful for the flexibility of his work so that we were able to spend so much time together the last couple of months. Here are some 2 month stats...

These are unofficial measurements done by us at home :)

• weight-10 1/2 lbs (remember he started at just over 5 lbs!)
• height- just over 22 inches long
• diapers-moved to size 1 on the 1st of July
• clothes-mostly newborn and a few 0-3 mos.
• new skills-"talking", laughing and lots more smiling
• hobbies-staring at the ceiling fan, reading books, snuggling with mommy & daddy
• feeding-he started going 4 hours between feedings at night, but the last couple nights he has been eating more often.  During the day he'll go 3 hours most of the time, however he likes to change it up some days to keep me on my toes.  Pretty sure he's in a constant state of "growth spurt."  He takes 1 bottle a day of higher calorie, fortified formula since he was a preemie and then breastfeeds all the other times.  He'll take between 3-4oz. per feeding.

Reading books with Aunt Shannon.  I love how it looks like he's paying attention!

All smiles with Daddy!

 Cutest outfit ever!  Thanks Debbie and Katy!  Looks like such a big boy!

 Snuggles with Uncle Eddie

 Caden and Owen got some matching outfits from GiGi and Aunt Shannon.  Those boys are gonna have so much fun together and get into so much trouble together :)

 We missed celebrating half of the family's birthdays while we were in the hospital.  So, we got together for one big celebration for Eddie, Mary Lu, Mitch, Owen, Dad and Megan.  I made personal pudding parfaits for everyone and mom sang happy birthday, multiple times so that no one felt cheated out of their own special moment :)

 He believes in this!

 Love that boy!

" Hey!  I'm 8 weeks today!"
