2 months

At about 6 weeks old, Trey transformed from the orneriest baby there ever was to the sweetest little turd you ever did see.  :)  He still has his cranky days, but Trey's second month was 100 times better than the first one.  Here's a run down on Trey at 2 months old:

  • Sleeps SO much better.  When I wrote Trey's one month post, he rarely ever went down before midnight and was getting up every 1 to 2 hours to eat (kill me).  Now, he goes to bed pretty consistently by 10:30 pm and usually goes 3-4 hours in between feedings.  Some days he's up and ready for the day by 6:00 am and others he sleeps until 9:30!  (Can you guess which wake up time I prefer?)  :)  He still has a few nights here and there where he is up every 2 hours, but they're so much easier to handle now that I know they're not the norm.  Yay for more sleep!
  • He's the happiest in the morning (not sure where he got that from!)...his favorite thing to do in the morning is lay on the ground and talk to Dave and I.  He's started to coo and smile at us voluntarily which is SO rewarding.  His little baby noises are adorable and his favorite "word" is "ah-goo".  :)
  • He's in love with his mobile and loves to laugh and coo at the animals on it.  It's become our go-to "make Trey happy" device.  
  • He's definitely a Bland in the sense that he likes his alone time.  :)  He becomes really overstimulated and fussy when there are too many people and often prefers to be laying on the ground rather than being held.  
  • He is NOT a fan of tummy time.  He disliked it so much that he rolled over from tummy to back at about 7 weeks.  We were shocked.  He's rolled over twice, but for some reason refuses to do it again.  He still hates tummy time, but he'll just cry and cry until you give in and turn him back on his back.  
  • He is SPOILED.  He's mastered his fake cry and he thinks it's the funniest thing in the world.  He'll fake cry and after about 5 minutes I'll give in and see what he needs only to have him smile the biggest grin ever as I approach him.  He just might have Dave and I catering to his every whim...maybe.
  • He is a VERY determined little boy.  He's been this way since birth.  He knows what he wants and when he wants it; and until you get it right, you're going to be screamed at.  :)
  • He LOVES to arch is back and stretch his neck while being held.  It's really weird and I've never seen another baby do that, but he likes it so whatever. I guess the ceiling is really interesting.  :)
  • He's a thumb sucker.  Or at least he tries to be.  Most of the time he's trying his hardest to get his entire fist in his mouth, but sometimes he manages to only get the thumb; which makes him happy for the .2 seconds that it's actually in there.
  • He used to take MAM binkies and now he's more into Soothies.  He really isn't much of a binkie  baby unless it's nighttime.  At nighttime he almost demands to have one. 
  • He weighs 11 lbs 3 oz (29th percentile)
  • His height is 22 inches (11th percentile)
  • His head circumference is 40 cm (42nd percentile)
  • SO, he's just a little guy, but he's growing!
  • His cuteness percentile is 100, in case you were wondering...  :)
Happy 2 months Treyby Baby!
