2 Months

Month 2 was a big month for Ellis. 

 

His sleep stalled out a bit in the middle of month 2 but it was clear that it was because he was uncomfortable.  As soon as we got him on gas drops and reflux medication, his sleep was instantly better.  Back to 4/5ish hour stretches at night and two hour naps a few times a day.

 

His usual routine is a bottle around 10 at night.  Then he goes down for the night and sleeps until 2:30ish.  He eats a few ounces and is back to sleep until 7 or so.  He eats 4 ounces each feeding and eats every 4 hours.  Before his reflux meds he was wanting to eat every couple hours but I think it was more out of wanting to be soothed from the discomfort rather than actual hunger.

 

 

At 2 Months old, Ellis weighed in at 11.2 lbs (19 %) and his height grew to 22.8 inches (33%).

 He surprised the heck out of all of us when he rolled over for the first time at the pediatrician's office.  He was on the exam table on his tummy and with one little push he flipped himself right over.  We were both a little stunned.  I knew he was strong but that caught me by surprise.  I guess he busts out all of his cool tricks for the doctor.

 

He has been very very healthy.  His Laryngo Malasia is pretty much non-existent.  Once and a while I will hear the stridor breathing, but it is few and far between.  We are so thankful for that.  We are keeping an eye on his legs because for some reason he moves his left leg a ton but does not move his right leg much at all.  His hip ultrasound was clear so the doctor thinks his leg will come around. Hopefully with time the other leg will catch up.  

 

His hair gets wilder by the day and we love it.  His curls come out after bath and they are adorable.  And his big gummy smile lights up a room!  We are so so blessed!  Love you Ellis!
