Grayson is 2 Months Old!

Grayson is 2 months old today! Time has just flown by. There are times I feel like he has not grown at all since most of his 0-3 month clothing is still too big, but then times I realize how much bigger he is now.


Today he met his Great-Grandma Farrar. Here is a picture.

Some things to note:
This last week, Grayson went on a road trip with us and my parents and has now been in 7 states...WOW! In 7 days none the less. He visited Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, Winter Quarters and family as well as a few other sites in cities along the way. He did pretty good although I think he will hate the car seat for a LONG time.

Grayson weighed 9 lb 15 oz when he was weighed tonight before his bath (we have an infant scale to weigh for his feedings). When he had his doctor appointment on the 6th he measured 23 1/4 inches.
Grayson smiles TONS now.
He holds his head up and prefers to be carried looking over your shoulder or facing out so he can see things around him.
He will tell you a story but only if he wants to.
He has started having some little giggle sounds.
He drools like none other!
He has started grabbing things and putting them in his mouth...mostly fingers. He will help hold a bottle, he will pull out his soothie (pacifier).
He loves seeing cartoons with big shapes on the TV.
He almost sleeps through the night. He will sleep from 9:30 pm to 3:30 or 4:00 am and then eat and sleep again until almost 8:00. (Although the trip may have ruined that)
He will not nap well though.

As far as motherhood, I unfortunately am still having to supplement with formula some. I took this trip as a chance to work on that and nursed/pumped quite often to increase my supply. I have spent a lot of time the last month or so educating myself about low supply and PCOS and other issues. I feel like I will do much better if we are blessed with a second child. It has also made me realize that the education on breastfeeding that is available is not keeping up with the times. There is such an increase in hormonal problems and that in turn effects nursing...but the education has not yet realized how many women have problems with supply, etc. But, that is a whole other post.

I will post pictures and stuff from our trip later. I have a lot of laundry and unpacking to do but wanted to post on Grayson being 2 months on the day it happened.
