Every day is a new adventure

So over the last two weeks Steven has been going through a chaning period. He went from eating every two hours to going stretches of 3-4 hours during the day and up to 7 or 8 at night. He is staying up for up to 2 hours at a time and has had more fussy periods in the evening. We have had to introduce gas drops a few times when he seems to be inconsoilable and they seem to help. He still wakes up one time a night, usually around 3, but then tends to sleep til 7 or later :)

Our boy is now 2 months old. He had his appointment on the 23rd and did great. He only got one shot and an oral vaccine. He will get the other two next month. He got a great check-up and weighed 13lbs 7oz and was 23.25in long. The Dr. said he was a healthy, chunky baby! Haha, he is definitely chunky. We had a great photo shoot that morning taking his 2 month pictures. He is definitely a morning baby, all smiles and cooing a lot. Guess he gets that from me, Mike is not a morning person.

Last night we celebrated Shelley's (Mike's mom) 50th birthday with a surprise party. Steven did really well and actually slept during the entire party, which was in a bar/restaurant. Several people wanted to hold him, but we said since he was asleep we weren't going to wake him. Quite different from the family Christmast party over a month ago. We got home around 10:45pm and I woke him up to feed him. He went down a little before 12 and slept all at the way until 7 am. I couldn't believe it. That little boy was worn out I guess. It was nice that while we were at Mike's parents, Shelley got to feed Steven for the first time and changed his diaper. I think she really enjoyed the time she got to spend with him and her surprise party. Mike's dad pulled it off wonderfully and even though I came close to blowing it a couple of weeks ago, she was truly surprised. She even cried.

Well we don't have a schedule yet, but we seem to be getting a little better about figuring this little guy out. Who knows what each day brings, we just try to let him tell us what he wants or needs and give it to him. For now he is in charge. I keep telling him that when he gets a little older, its going to be Mama and Daddy's rules, not Steven's. Well, until next time. Let the adventures in Stevenland continue!
