Today, Wed., Jan. 25th Hudson is 2 months old! While I was at daycare Mom took him for his 2 month check-up in which he's already 15 lbs. 7 oz. and just about 24 inches long! His check-up went well except he did need to get 3 shots; poor guy but Mom said he was really brave. Here's Hudson at 2 months:
All smiles!
At 2 months some of Hudson's accomplishments are:
- He's now eating 6 to 8 times per day vs. 10 to 12; he's still nursing really good and so far no acid reflux or any troubles.
- He's sleeping through the night for about 6 to 7 hours at a time.
- He's smiling, cooing or saying "Ah-goo" & vowel sounds and really starting to focus on what is in front of him. He turns to look at noises and/or when he hears a voice he recognizes like Dad's, Mom's or mine.
- Doesn't mind tummy time and can lift head 45 degrees and turn head side to side for a few seconds. He can also raise his chest with the support of his arms.
- We're working on grasping objects, following objects and giving him sensory items to learn about and touch.
Today at daycare I had a lot of fun with the sensory tub filled with rice and made pretend snow angels on the carpet. During outside time a few of us surprised our teachers because we even landed in the snow to make the real thing! Well, I am Mom's little angel! During January at daycare we have emphasized the colors blue & white, the shape triangle and the nursery rhyme "Jack Be Nimble". Weekly we've emphasized teddy bears, mittens, snow, opposites and next week dental health. Today I got to paint the following with one of this month's colors, white.
Happy 2 Months Hudson!
