Max at 2 months old




This kid kills me!  He's just too stinkin' cute.

At 2 months old, Max:

  • Sleeps SO MUCH BETTER!!  I am so thankful for this!  We put him down when we go to bed (usually between 9:30-10:30), he wakes up around 3AM to eat, goes back down between 20 minutes to 1 hour later, and then will sleep another 2-4 hours before waking up for the day! I feel rested and it feels great.  I get pretty tired still in the evenings but I think that has more to do with keeping up with the babies all day. 
  • Nurses every 2-3 hours during the day.  
  • Weighs 11 lbs 7 oz (50th %) and is 21 1/2 inches long (5th %).  Short and chubby.   His head is in the 50th-75th percentile.
  • Is super smiley.  Just look at that picture above- that's what I get to see all day long. :)  He loves attention and will reward anyone who talks to him with a big smile.  His pediatrician said "he smiles with his whole face".  He gets a kick out of Claire already.
  • Is lazy at tummy time.  Claire hated tummy time so she kicked her legs and lifted her head high.  It's probably why she rolled over before she was 3 months old!  Max, on the other hand, just lays there with his head resting on the floor.  It'll be interesting to see when he rolls over. 
  • Likes to see you and be near you, but will also play on his activity mat by himself for awhile.
  • Isn't a big fan of the swing.
  • Naps constantly throughout the day. He doesn't have a routine or schedule yet.  He'll be up for 2-3 hours after he wakes up in the morning, but that's the extent of his consistency.  
  • Still has his dark hair and blue eyes! I'd love for him to keep that combo!  He is getting a receding hairline.  
  • Is a Cuddler!!!  Even at this age, Claire preferred to be away from your body and taking in the world around her.  Max, on the other hand, prefers to be snuggled close and staring at your face.  Love it.
