Colby had his two month appointment yesterday.
He weighs 10 lbs 4 oz and is 22.5 inches long... both are just above the 10th percentile.
Colby has reached all the milestones he should at two months.
The doctor was a bit concerned about him being small, but other than that, there aren't any concerns... and I really don't think that's a concern... we just make small kiddos! (Kyle was 9 lbs 4 oz and Emily was 6 lbs 14 oz at their two month visits.)
He got his shots and screamed, but calmed right down when I fed him. He was sleepy and didn't feel good the rest of the day. He did have a fever last night at bed time, so he got a little bit of Tylenol. Hopefully he's back to normal today.

Adventures in Potty Training
Last week Emily was having poop issues... as in she couldn't get it out. I talked to a nurse at our peds office a couple times throughout the week and it was thought that Emily had hemroids and constipation... on Friday I finally took her to the doctor and he said he didn't their there were any hemroids... just lots of poop backed up :(
He gave a bunch of suggestions as to how to best help Emily out. She has been wanting to poop on the potty lots (as has Kyle). We have a potty seat for the toilet that they have both been using. The doctor said that we needed to invest in a little potty... because it's easier to push out poop when your feet can touch the ground.
We haven't really been doing much as fair as potty training goes... we just let them sit on the potty when they ask. They both love the little potty and have used it lots the past couple days. We are just going to keep doing what we are doing and really not push potty training until the middle of the summer or so... but I have a feeling both kiddos might just potty training themselves.
This morning Emily woke up dry and asked to sit on the potty when I took her diaper off... she peed on the potty... and asked a couple times to sit on the potty throughout the morning... not once did she go in her diaper! The afternoon was a different story... but hey.. it's something :)

Two Months Old!
My sweet baby boy is already two months old!
Colby is an amazing sleeper! He takes three short naps and one long day during the day and is technically sleeping through the night.
Colby enjoys tummy time most days. He does baby push ups and looks around to see what's going on. He also does a good job scooting himself forward when he is on his tummy. He's rolled over to his back twice, but I think both times were by accident... and he got mad that he couldn't get back to his tummy.
Colby's typical day looks like this... it varies a little day to day...
- 4am - Wake mommy up, get a clean diapers, eat, and go back to sleep
- 8am - get a clean diaper and eat
- 9:30 - take a short nap
- 10am - get a clean diaper and eat
- 11am - take a long nap
- 2pm - get a clean diaper and eat
- 4:30 - take a short nap
- 5pm- get a clean diaper and eat
- 6pm - take a short nap
- 7:30 - hang out with mommy and daddy after big brother and sister go to bed
- 8pm - bath time
- 8:30 - eat and play with mommy and daddy
- 10pm - get a clean diaper, eat, and go night night
Most of the time Colby is a great eater. He normally latches right on and nurses for 8 to 10 minutes during the day. In the evening, he has been eating for 20 minutes or so. Every once in a while he is still having issues with how fast my letdown is, but seems to have gotten the hang for the most part.
Colby loves to suck... so he is still using a pacifier... and using it more than he was before. In another month or so, we will start trying to cut back on using it.
Colby has mastered neck and head control and does baby crunches! He is crazy strong.
Colby love to be in his solly wrap (it's like a molby wrap). He normally cuddles right up to mommy and take a good nap.
Colby is still sleeping in mommy and daddy's room in a pack'n'play at night, but takes his naps in his crib. Once he is sleeping a little bit longer at night, we will move him to his crib at night too.
