2 Months!

Palmer, you turned 2 months on July 27th, mommy’s birthday!  Your looks are starting to change, but you still have bright red hair!  It’s hard to believe that you will be starting daycare in 2 weeks.  It’s going to be so hard to let you go, but I know you’ll be in good hands.  You’re also going to love being around other babies. 

   This month, you moved out of mommy and daddy’s room!  You now sleep in your crib and love it!  We are so lucky!  At bedtime, we just place you in your bed, turn on your mobile (which you love) and you knock out for 4 to 5 hours!  Dr. Moseley said that I need to stop swaddling you.

You’ve started smiling and love to suck your thumb.  You’re also a talker and eater.  You eat 5 oz every 3 hours!  You weigh 11.8 lbs (34th percentile)

23 inches long (50th percentile)

Of course your head is 15.7 in,  the 77th percentile!

Time for Family!

Since the end of June, Palmer has been busy spending time meeting his family!  Colin and Mary made the trip from Phoenix to South Carolina.  We started their visit  in Williston, with a celebration of their November 2011 marriage.

Palmer riding his 1st motorcycle!  Colin and Mary were able to stay with us in Clemson for a few days.  They made this super cute diaper motorcycle for Palmer.

 

In 1 day, Colin and Lacy built Baker an awesome swing set with a slide and fort!  Baker and Palmer are so lucky to have such a wonderful daddy and uncle!  What a special gift!

This past weekend, Palmer made his 1st trip to Pinopolis to meet his Great-Grandmother, Gin-Gin and his Great Aunt Sabrina.  (We did get a picture with her!)

Bebe and GranDan joined us for the day!

 

Palmer also met his Uncle Jesse, who made the short drive from Charleston’s Naval Base, where he is stationed.

Palmer is 1 Month Old!

It’s hard to believe that you turned 1 month on Wednesday!  Here are some little tidbits about you that I want to remember.

• You weigh 10 pounds.
• You’re 21.5 inches long.
• You smiled for the 1st time!  It melted my heart to see those dimples!
• You have acid reflux and absolutely hate taking the medicine.  You cry and make the ugliest faces!  I dread giving it to you twice a day!
• You have a fussy time every evening and it’s usually when we’re sitting down for dinner.
• You eat every 2 to 3 hours. 
• Tummy time is not your favorite and you usually roll over on your back.
• You do a fantastic job of going back to sleep after eating during the night.  It makes my nights easier.
• You took your 1st rode trip to Williston and are a great traveler.  We celebrated your Uncle Colin and Aunt Mary’s wedding.
