Two Months!

Spencer turned two months old yesterday and I am official in love with this baby.  He’s happy, he’s smiley, he’s chubby, he’s perfect!  LOTS of pictures below…

and Maxwell at 2 months…

Interesting how much darker Maxwell’s eyes were by this point.  Spencer’s are still really blue – maybe he’ll keep the blue eyes!  I definitely think Spencer is bigger than Maxwell was at this point but we’ll confirm at the doctor on Friday.

I don’t want to jinx anything but, so far, Spencer’s just been such an easy baby.  He cries when he’s hungry and rarely cries any other time.  If he does cry, I can always get him calmed down within a few minutes – usually by swaddling him up, giving him a paci and swaying him to sleep.  He’s sleeping great at night.  As of the past week or so, he’s been eating around 7:00 pm and then I’ll get him down “for the night” by around 8:30 or 9:00 and then he’ll wake up again around 2:00 and then not again until around 6:00.  I’ll take that!  He’s sleeping in his room but I’ve been putting him in his Rock N Play Sleeper instead of his crib and I think he’s sleeping better that way.  It’s more cozy and it keeps him inclined a little which is good.  When he does wake up to eat at night, he eats and then just goes right back to sleep all swaddled up!  A dream baby!  🙂

This picture makes me laugh with his little arm propped up…

During the day, he’ll go between 3 to sometimes even 6 hours between feedings.  He’s great at taking a bottle when necessary which is nice.

We’re getting some great smiles and lots of coo-ing and it just makes me melt.  He’s definitely getting his brother’s (and dad’s!) long, thick, dark eyelashes (yay!) and has the cutest little lopsided grin.

Posing with “Bear Bryant” – thanks for the name suggestion Granddad!  A good complement to “Little Al”!

I love this little guy with all my heart and am so glad he decided to join our family!

Happy 2 months Spencer, we love you!
