The Willis': {Jaxon}: Two Months

My baby is two months old! Well closer to three months now.

This has been kind of a crazy month so I am a little behind and have some catching up to do.

June 6th was Jaxon's official two month birthday. It was the day before we were leaving for Lake Powell. This little boy has done quite a lot in his little life so far. He moved at a couple weeks old, made the three hour drive to the valley multiple times, been to the movies, been to Saguaro Lake AND Lake Powell. We have many more trips and activities planned. Jax is really the best baby. He is fine just hanging out where ever as long as he is full and rested! I have said it multiple times and will say it many more times, we are so blessed to have this sweet boy!

H E I G H T & W E I G H T

We had his two month appointment this week and this little boy isn't so little. My poor baby had to get shots and it was the saddest thing ever. Jax rarely cries and when he does its a soft almost whine not even a real cry. Well we heard his real cry that day. Then there I am trying to hold back tears, but afterward he cuddled his dad a bit and was back to normal ten minutes later. He is tough and always amazes me with how great he is. I hate seeing this little boy hurting. This makes me so grateful to have such a healthy baby boy.

Anyway

Jaxon is 13 lbs and 2 oz!

He gained two pounds in a month. Love my chunk!

He is 23 1/2 inches long. He grew half an inch since last month.

Stop growing so fast!

Our happy boy after his shots! What a trooper.

H A I R & E Y E S

His eyes are definitely blue and lightening up. He still doesn't have a lot of hair, but it seems to be coming in darker brown. He'll probably stay pretty bald for a while, just like his mama!

D I A P E R S & C L O T H I N G

He is wearing a size two diaper. Those are starting to get a little snug, but I think he will be in a size two for a little bit longer. He has officially grown out of all his newborn clothing and 0-3 month. He is wearing 3 month clothing and even some 6 month. It really depends on the brand. He is getting big fast!

E A T I N G

Still 100% breastfed. My body is finally starting to regulate so that makes things easier. No more rock hard/painful boobs. I feed him on demand and during the day he still eats about every 2- 3 hours. Again he is super easy and is an amazing eater!

S L E E P I N G

This boy is still sleeping a lot and I do not have a problem with it at all! He really makes his own schedule. During the day he takes a long nap in the morning and then a few cat naps in the afternoon. When Jax is tired he will let you know! There is no trying to keep this boy up. He usually goes down for the night at 8:30pm then he will sleep until 4-5am, eat, and go back to sleep until 7ish. I thought for sure he would be more of a night owl like Branden and I, but not the case. He is his happiest in the morning right after he wakes up!

We are trying to transition him to his crib, but it has been kind of tough. Mostly my fault because I get really anxious not having him next to me at night. Drives Branden nuts! I have had him sleeping in a rock 'n play next to my bed so that anytime I get up in the night I can see him. I think I am up more then him at night. He naps great in his crib, but when I put him in his crib to sleep at night he'll sleep a few hours and then wake up and I always just end up bringing him back into our room with us. I just like to have my baby close! Also I think he likes how the rock 'n play kind of hugs him, where the crib leaves him very open and exposed. But he is still young and we will get there eventually. No hurry.

Dearest Jaxon,

My sweet boy. You are growing up so fast. You have found your hands and love to suck/chew on them. That also means you are always scratching your poor face. You are always so happy, smiling and "talking". Especially when your daddy is around. You smile so big when you hear his voice after work. I must have 20 videos of your cooing already! You are so much more alert. Always looking around and wanting to see what is going on. You are so strong and can hold your head up constantly now, its still a little wobbly, but you are getting stronger everyday. You love to try and stand, but lets work on rolling over first. You have a tight grip! When something is placed in your hand you grab it and don't let go! I can tell you want to reach out and grab things, but you can't quite figure out how to do that yet. You love kicking and splashing in your baths. By the time you are done bathing I am soaking wet! You are so cuddly when you want to be, other times if feels like you are trying to squirm away! Jax, you are adored by everyone. I am always getting stopped and told how handsome you are. Of course i agree! Your older cousin Denim is always giving you kisses and loves to tell you to be happy when you are crying. She loves to hold your hand and talk to you. Gunner is still figuring out how he feels about his new cousin. He loves you very much and doesn't like when you are sad either. Jaxon, you are so loved. Thanks for choosing us as your parents. We love you more and more everyday! We are so very blessed to have you as our son.

Love,

Mom and Dad
