Simon is two month's old today! Poor thing had his shots this morning, and he has been passed out in his carseat ever since.

What a difference two months makes!



At two months old, Simon:

• Weighs 13 lbs, 4 oz (up from 8 lbs, 12 oz at his 2 week appt and 8 lbs, 5 oz at birth) - about the 90th percentile
  
• Is 23 3/4 inches long (up from 22 inches at his 2 week and 21 1/2 inches at birth) - about the 80th percentile
  
• Still 100% breastfed - nurses every 2-3 hours during the day and 3-4 hours at night
  
• Is wearing 3-6 month clothes, although he could still fit in some 0-3 stuff when wearing disposable diapers (less bulky than cloth)
  
• Is nowhere close to having any good sleep/awake schedule
  
• Is super fussy/colicky for the first half of the night
  
• Can be pretty smiley during the day
  
• Sleeps for decent stretches at night (because we're putting him on his tummy...:/...)

He's a joy with the exception of the colic, which is so hard to watch/hear. Poor thing. Overall, Josh and I have both felt like we have had an easier time with a newborn this time around. Maybe because we knew what to expect? Kept our expectations low? And we're probably through the worst of the newborn stage.

He starts daycare next week, since I go back to work a week from today. I've enjoyed my maternity leave this time around. Did a lot of sitting, holding, and cuddling. :)
