Someone’s a night owl like me

Time: 2310

Travis: Cooing and smiling next to me

Me: Travis, it’s not playtime, it’s sleep time. You’re the only baby awake right now.

Travis: Let’s out a big smile and a happy scream

Feeling under the weather

Travis had his 2 month old check up yesterday and vaccinations. He’s 12lbs and 9oz and 21 1/2 inches. He’s on the 80th percentile for weight, 20th percentile for height, and 24th percentile for head circumference. He also received his 2 month old vaccinations yesterday and according to my mom and hubby, he was a very brave little boy! He only cried for about five seconds and stopped! I was sad that I couldn’t go since I had to be at work, but there will be more appointments to come that I’ll be able to go to.

Unfortunately, baby boy is feeling a bit under the weather because he got a fever from his shots. I got a bit worried last night because his temperature rectally was 101.7, but he was still cooing and smiling at me so I wasn’t on the verge of having a nervous breakdown. However, I called the nurse on call anyway (just to be sure) and she told me it was fine and to call back if his rectal temperature went up to 102, has a fever for more than 48 hours or if he starts acting lethargic.

Hopefully baby boy will feel better today!

Happy 2 months!

Happy 2 months baby Travis! Another month has passed and you’re another month older. As always, me and your dad are learning more about your budding personality with each passing day. In the past month I have learned that:

• You don’t like to be swaddled anymore - when I found out about this, I was a bit sad because seeing you all swaddled up happens to be one of my favorite images.
• You love it when me and your dad tickle your nose. You always give us a happy smile when we do it.
• One of your favorite past times is to coo at me and your dad while we’re talking to you and cooing in general.
• You don’t need to be rocked to sleep anymore. I haven’t sat on the glider to rock you to bed for a good two weeks now. This also makes me sad as I liked rocking you to sleep and looking at your smiles as you fall asleep. 
• You now wear 3-6 month clothing and have moved on to size 2 diapers.
• You’re drinking 4oz of breast milk now.
• You’re getting better at making yourself fall asleep.
• You refuse to do tummy time unless you can see the TV! Sigh, I’m not too happy that you like the TV already so early, but I think you find it interesting because of all the lights, people, and sound.
• You love to fall asleep while doing tummy time on top of me.
• You like to stare at JJ especially after he sneaked in a kiss to your cheek while I wasn’t looking!
• You hold your head up pretty well.
• You always cry the instant your dad tries to play Call of Duty! (I find it quite hilarious)

So many changes all within a month’s time. I look forward to what I’ll discover about you this coming month…

2AM playtime?!

I don’t know what happened, but the last few days Trav seems to think that 2AM is play time! Usually he would wake up around 0100-0130 to eat and he’d fall back asleep. Oh well at least he’s not fussing. He’s just lying next to me smiling and cooing!
