Here's what I've been up to in month TWO:
I am now 100% formula fed... but my tummy is pretty sensitive, so I am on "sensitive" formula. Mommy and Cici were concerned about how much I've been spiting up and the fact that I get colicky/gassy after I eat. After we made the switch from regular formula to sensitive formula, Mommy and Cici decided to try out the Dr Brown's bottles, binkys, and Colic Calm drops. I feel a lot better, now.
I had my first over-night stay without Mommy and Daddy while they went on a "staycation" at the MD Resort gratis Grandma and Grandpa Turnell. They said they had fun and got some much needed sleep and relaxation. I got to stay at Cici's and play with Cici, the squishy face kitty, Zoe, Uncle D and RB for a couple of days. I also made a trip to Dallas to visit Great Grams and Shark and Great Uncle Craig. Back in Prosper, I heard some strange noises coming from outside, Cici says they are chickens and I will get to meet them when I'm old enough!
Grandma Jennie and Grandpa Jim came to get me on Sunday and I played at their house with all of their dogs (Jake, Vadar, and Mickey) and saw Grandma Jennie's goats and sheep... I can't wait to feed them when I'm old enough!! Mommy and Daddy did pretty well leaving me for the first time... though I think the pictures and videos Cici send Mommy helped her.
I recognize Mommy's voice when she comes to get me out of bed in the morning...I get really quiet because I love to listen when she sings the "Good Morning Song" and gives me morning kisses.
I have been sleeping through the night (though Mommy doesn't like to brag for fear that it will end). After Mommy and I go through my bedtime routine (eating, bath, playtime, then cuddle/reading time) Mommy puts me to bed around 9:30 pm and I sleep through the night until about 7:30 am (usually I sleep 8.5-9.5 hours).
In the middle of my 6th week of life I decided that it's really fun when Mommy puts me in bed to push myself up on my arms and look around. I also have better control over my head, so I can look around when Mommy or Daddy hold me. I am also starting to test the waters of flipping to my back. I scare myself when I do get from my tummy to my back. I am also slithering around on my tummy when I'm in bed or on the floor for my "tummy time."
I can also "walk" when Daddy holds me up on his chest... getting stronger every day.
I really like to "sit" in my Boppy pillow or on Mommy or Daddy's lap to look around.
Almost overnight, I outgrew all of my newborn clothes, so I am now in 3-6 month sizes... but I had another growth spurt, so I'm almost busting out of my 3 month footies!
I celebrated the last few days before my 2 month birthday with a stuffy nose and not feeling good. Mommy did not like me not feeling good because there is really nothing she can do about it other than attack my nose with the booger grabber--which I hate--and rub my chest with baby vicks. I think this stuffy nose-ness has convinced Mommy and Daddy to get a humidifier soon, though.
