8 weeks old

My sweet little boy is 8 weeks old almost two months its just so crazy how fast its going by! We are really getting a lot better at being parents its crazy how your life changes so much in an instant it definitely takes some getting used to. We are starting to try and get him on a better schedule before we were just going with his cues he ate on demand which was constantly!! Then we would get him to sleep when he seemed tired but now im trying to give him a little bit more of a routien and it seems to be helping with nights. The past two nights he finally slept more then only two hours he seems to go three hours then sometimes will get up after just another hour then goes another three and once more with a few little wake ups but will go right back down and up at seven. It feels a lot better knowing we have some sort of an idea how the nights are going to go it was getting really hard to just be up at all hours and poor boy was not getting any good quality sleep. It seems he is only needing to wake up to feed twice at night now around 12 and 4 am. I feel like a whole new person getting a three hour stretch like that. He is napping much better during the day also I am happy he is finally getting the rest he needs. His two month check up is on Monday and I am very excited to see how much he has grown my back can tell you its a lot! Im betting he is close to 14 pounds already he is fitting into a lot of three month clothes and still can wear a few 0-3. He is finally starting to love his play mat he is very interested in colors and lights. He seems to have a blast kicking his piano and has started to grab at the hanging toys its been so much fun. He is smiling a lot more everyday you have to work for it but its oh so worth it. He is still exclusively breastfed and loves it he is a champ at eating. During the day we are trying to go with the eat/play/sleep thing and it seems to be working out he sometimes still seems hungry after the play so he will have a little snack before I lay him down for a nap im trying to stop feeding him to sleep but if its what comforts him for now im not going to take that away from him this young. His favorites right now would be Eating of course and he seems to love laying on his back and just hanging out thats when we get the most smiles and his play mat. He dislikes not being held and you must stand up no sitting! Going down for naps he fusses but usually will not fight me too bad anymore. He is just getting to be so fun and I cant wait for him to keep growing and doing all the new fun things as he does. Love my miracle baby and grateful for him everyday.
