Welcome!!!

I am so glad that you have made it to my blog. My name is Rian, and I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 11 years. We welcomed our first child, a beautiful baby girl, in April 2009. In March 2011, we sadly lost our second child to a miscarriage at 10 weeks pregnant. Our son was born in March 2012. This is my blog....the journey through my life with the people that I love.

2 months!!

What?! My baby is 2 months old now?!?! I can't believe that it is even possible. Here is what he is up to now!


Weight:
12 pounds 9 ounces!! (64th percentile) My baby is getting so big already. I can’t believe how chunky he is.

Length:
22.25 inches (24th percentile). While he is still short he has grown almost 3 inches in length since he was born!

Hair/Eyes:
He is still losing the hair on the back of his head but the top part is growing in nicely; so maybe he won’t be bald after all! His eyes are still the dark blue with a light almost greenish circle in the middle. I wonder what color his eyes will be?!

Clothing Size:
He is kind of all over the place sometimes 0-3 months still fit but mostly he is wearing 3 months and sometimes 6 months.

Diapers:
Size 2 all the way! I was trying to squish him into size 1’s but they just weren’t cutting it anymore and nobody likes poop explosions!

Sleeping:
Well usually he sleeps in 2-4 hour stretches. Typically it is more towards the 2 hour mark but occasionally we get a 4 hour stretch. Luckily when he wakes up he just nurses and goes back to sleep most of the time.

Eating:
He is still exclusively breastfeeding despite his milk and soy allergy. At his 2 month checkup when I explained to the doctor what his allergies were, he asked if I was supplementing or if I had switched to formula; when I told him no his words were “wow”. It was kind of a proud moment for me that I have been able to change my diet so that Landon can still breastfeed and that he is doing so great.

New Developments:
Smiling, making eye contact, some squeals, cooing, pushing up when doing tummy time and he does great holding his head up.

Favorite Things:
Bath time, his swing and eating. The boy loves to eat!!

Other:
~We are still dealing with the reflux but Landon never fusses with it.

~Since I eliminated all the milk and soy from my diet my happy baby is back! He is just so stinking happy and such a great baby!

~Poor thing got 3 shots at his checkup and right after the first one he screamed like a banshee and then stopped breathing all together because he was screaming so hard. :-/ Not breathing meant he turned purple. My poor baby!! Even the nurse felt bad and said that she had never had a baby do that. And I’m a bad mom because all I could do was laugh. It is kind of a nervous laugh, but I still can’t help it.

~One thing Landon does that cracks me every time, is when he is hungry he will start clicking his tongue and smacking his lips. He can be asleep and it is getting close to a feeding; he will be sleeping away, clicking his tongue and smacking his lips. So funny!!

And now..............PICTURES!!!!! :)
