Layton is 2 months old!

Layton, at 2 months, here are some of the things I want to remember about you:

We went to the doctor today for your check-up and you weighed 11 lbs 5 oz (50%) and were 23 1/4 inches (75%). You are a big boy! However, I still think you look so little. You got a bunch of shots today and have been running a fever of 100, but even with the fever, you have been in a pretty good mood today.

You have had your first cold/virus the last few days. Lincoln had the croup a couple weeks ago and we have all had some kind of something ever since. Dr. Byrum said you probably have the same virus. It just affects people differently. So, far you have just had a stuffy/runny nose and a really goopy, green eye. We are waiting to hear if it is pink eye when the culture comes back.

You really started to smile and coo around 6 1/2 weeks. I LOVE to see your smiles and hear you try to talk. It is the best thing ever! Hannah and Lincoln can make you smile now and they love it too. I can't wait for you to laugh out loud!

You took your first long road trip which was to visit Grandma and Grandad in KC. You did great!

You have started noticing the toys on your bouncy seat and swing. Sometimes I think they kind of scare you, but hopefully you will be trying to reach out and grab them soon.

You are sleeping through the night!!!! Yippee!! You started this around 7 1/2 weeks I think. I usually feed you somewhere between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. and you will usually sleep for 8 or 9 hrs! This has made a huge difference in my life!! I feel more rested and just better all around. You are still in the pack-n-play in our room, but I may try to move you to your room after you get over this virus. We will see if I can part with you.

When I am home--you are getting better at taking some good naps. We have been so busy lately, you have had most naps in your car seat it seems. I don't like this, but it hasn't been able to be helped. Luckily, you have been so good to just get your sleep whenever you can. You just seem to go with the flow!

You like to stand on my tummy when I am holding you over my shoulder. You are a strong little booger!

Last month you were having trouble pooping. Dr. Byrum helped us out with this little problem at your last appointment and you have been much better since. It really helped your nursing. You are getting faster at this and it has been much easier lately.

You still have a little bit of reflux, so we are continuing to prop you up on your boppy when you sleep. You sleep best on your side and swaddled with one arm out. I will swaddle you but you will work on it until you get that arm out!

We just love you to pieces, Layton. You are just the cutest thing. I get a little camera happy when taking pictures of you. :-)
