Samson : 2 months

I'm not sure where time is going, but our baby is two months already! I swear Samson grows noticeably every day. A few weeks ago he started rolling over from his tummy to his back. He recently found his hands and now they are constantly in his mouth. Last week he has started pulling his toys towards his face. He is almost always smiling and chatting away with us. He is SO close to giggling, listening to him say "HA!" with his big gummy smile makes my heart flutter. His world is growing a little more each day and it is so fun to watch!
Age : 2 months

Height : 23 1/2'' (75th percentile)

Weight : 12 lbs 1 oz (50th percentile)

Clothes : 0-3 months. Pants are still huge on his chicken legs, but the cloth diapers help fill them out a little bit. A few of the bigger newborn onesies and t-shirts still fit.

Diapers : Size 1 disposable diapers. Started using cloth diapers at 8 weeks. We're at the 1st S on the leg hole adjustment strap and 2nd snap from smallest on the waistband buttons. Since I get so many questions about it, I'm working a initial impressions post for the cloth diapers for you interested folks. For the record, it's going SO well and we are really happy with our choice :)

Eating : Formula. 6 oz/6x a day. I know it's a HUGE bottle for a little baby, but he's happy, so we just roll with it. We've been on 100% formula for almost 2 weeks now. He seems to be adjusting really well and I'm almost over feeling sad/guilty about it.

Sleeping : 7 hours at night! He usually sleeps 10p-5a, drinks a bottle and goes back to bed until 9:00a. There have been a few nights that he's slept 8 hours and I wake up feeling like I'm laying on a beach, drinking a margarita and petting a unicorn. It's amazing!  The catch : he almost exclusively naps in my arms. The dude loves to snuggle. I've got nothing but time, so I don't mind... this dishes can wait.

Pacifiers : Loves his MAM pacis and the Avent soothies. He's started to hold on to them while they are in his mouth, which is adorable.
Likes : Eating, snuggling, naps, baths, reading, blowing spit bubbles and chatting it up with momma and daddy.

Dislikes : Napping in his bouncer, mamaRoo, Rock & Play or anything that isn't momma or daddy's arms, having his feet tickled and waiting for his bottles being made.
