2 Months

Kyler's two month checkup was on Friday. He weighed in at 11 pounds 3 ounces. He is now in the 45th percentile for weight and the 50th percentile for height. The doctor thought his eyes will be green or hazel so we will have to wait and see. He also got a couple more shots which he wasn't too happy with but he didn't have any reactions once we got home.

We spent the first part of the week in Seneca at Grandma and Grandpa's. Brett was traveling for work and Great Uncle and Aunt Gene and Anita were visiting (Kyler's great great uncle). Kyler suprised me by sleeping through the night until around 6:00 am both nights we were there. He did the same the first night we were home but has been waking up once during the night since then. I guess we need to do a better job of wearing him out!

Saturday we went to Brett's parents' home to celebrate Great Grandpa Sonny's 75th birthday. It was a quick trip but we had a good time seeing everyone again. Kyler wasn't in the best of moods, probably due to the shots the day before.

Kyler likes to sit like a big boy in the stroller at Daddy's softball game on 7/15/10.

At two months...
Kyler really enjoys being upright to look around when he is held. He also enjoys lying on his back and stretching out, especially if he was been in the carseat or held a lot. He can roll over from front to back if he is in a good mood for his tummy time, otherwise he gets frustrated and upset. He is a pretty good eater although sometimes a little slow. And he will let you know if you are not doing the right thing for him - he goes into this ear piercing scream and his face turns bright red. You would think he was in some serious pain, but no, it is just his temper. He smiles and "talks" back to people pretty often and acknowledges people a lot more than he used to. And he loves watching the dogs play, and especially likes Baxter. Baxter can sometimes get him to smile when we can't get Kyler to stop fussing. He is starting to try to bat at toys on his activity mat but doesn't quite understand how to move his hands where he wants them to go. He can get his hands and arms into his mouth pretty easily though. And he has become a drooler lately, always trying to suck on his shirt collars and will sometimes bite on his paci rather than sucking on it. We think it might be a sign of an early teether. The doctor said he could be starting teething and might get them around 3 months. His favorite soother is definitely the swing accompanied by a pacifier. We can't wait to see what is in store for Kyler in the upcoming weeks/months. We are most looking forward for him to grab and play with toys and to hear him giggle!
