After our sweet night of 6 hours of sleep in a row for Kaylor's one-month birthday, he continued to get better and better with sleeping.  By 2 months of age, he could sleep 8 hours in a row at night and then back to sleep again for another 2-4 hours.  The big milestone this month was his first real smiles at Mommy and Daddy at around 5 weeks....melts my heart!  Maternity leave was wonderful, but went by way too quickly!  We enjoyed lots of great days hanging out, running errands, and looking forward to Daddy coming home from work.  Kaylor got to go to his first baby shower for our friends, the Zimmermanns, and he had visits from Uncle Luke and Aunt Heather and from Grandpa and Grandma again!

 When Luke and Heather were here, we were pretty ambitious with all we did with Kaylor in tow.  He had his first big shopping trip through Ikea on the way back from the airport, hiking to the top of Hanging Rock, out to eat a few times, and walking around Old Salem.  He had a little bit of a fussy streak with all of the activity, but it was still very sweet time with his awesome aunt and uncle!  






Feeding was still kind tough this month.  We were doing supplementing with formula--some bottles and some with a supplemental nurser.  It was helpful, but we were still struggling with it a bit.  At the recommendation of the lactation consultant and his pediatrician, we went to ENT.  Kaylor had his tongue clipped to see if that would make a difference with his feeding abilities.  It didn't seem to make a huge difference, but certainly won't hurt anything.  Later in the month, we went completely to bottle-feeding (needing about half of his bottles to be formula).  It wasn't the plan, but it works for us!  

Grandpa and Grandma spent time with him again before I went back to work.  We didn't go out too much while they were here, but got to spend a little more time with all 4 grandparents together with Kaylor.



Grandma came along to his 2-month well child check.  He was 11 pounds, 2 ounces (27th percentile) and 22 inches long (13th percentile).  His head circumference was in the 78th percentile!  Watching him get his immunizations was pretty sad, but we were proud of our strong and growing boy!
