Trey at 2 months

I can't believe how much has changed in the last month. Trey has started to stay awake longer and be more interactive. He stays awake for an hour to an hour and a half at a time now. He loves watching his mobile and hitting it to make it spin. He started rolling over at about 5 weeks old and really hasn't stayed still since; he is so squirmy! He loves bath time and is overall a pretty happy, easygoing baby and we love spending time with him.

 

 

 

For a while Trey was a pretty serious baby. We have tons of pictures of him looking like this

 

 

Those huge eyes kill me every time! The only time he would smile was when he was looking at his mobile. It was so funny and we loved watching him smile and laugh.

 

 

In the past couple weeks he has started to smile and coo a lot more, and nothing makes him smile bigger than hanging out with his daddy! It is so cute.

 

 

We have also discovered that Trey loves being outside. I go on a lot of walks with him, especially when he's fussy because he stops crying the second we get outside. Most of the time he falls asleep and let's be honest, It's a nice break for me and gives me a little bit of quiet time! We've had to go out in rain and super cold weather, but we just bundle up and Trey is happy as can be. 

 

 

 

 

The first month of Trey's life we had him sleeping in a bassinet, but he wasn't sleeping well. He would wake up the second I put him down, and if he didn't wake up he would make noises that sounded like he was choking on spit up and it freaked me out, so I wasn't sleeping at all. I started sleeping with him on top of me, but I was sleeping sitting up and not really getting any rest so I was exhausted all the time. One night I tried just laying him down in our bed in between us, and would you believe that he slept like a rock??! Since then we have been co-sleeping with him and It's really been working for us. Trey has started sleeping 6-7 hours at a time, and most days sleeps in until about 11. I know eventually we'll need to put him in his own room, so I've started putting him in his own bed to nap. He only stays asleep there for about 30 minutes, but we'll keep working on it.

 

 

At 2 months Trey weighs 12lbs 1oz and is 23 1/4 inches long. We love our little boy so much! We keep saying "is it weird that we're parents? I can't believe we have a baby. Isn't he so cute?" We can't get enough. We were both so excited when we found out we were having a baby, but I don't think we really knew how happy it would make us. What a privilege it is to be a parent!
