If I said it's been easy I would be lying. Newborns are so so sweet, but I seriously feel like I've been living in the twilight zone. Ever been on the ride at Disneyland? The lack of sleep, emotions, recovery, and lifestyle change definitely make it hard. I think it has been a little easier the second time around since I knew what to expect. Around 7 or 8 weeks I started to feel like my normal self again and I think that is due to 4-5 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I'm running errands, going on play dates, and anything else that I can do in a 3 hour time span. Cole is an angel baby and we are so thankful to have him in our family :) At 2 months he is....
Smiling especially when you talk to him and then he will talk back. I feel like he is very alert.

Until he was 7 weeks he wouldn't go to bed until 10 or 11 which was so exhausting, but I guess very normal for a newborn. Around 7 weeks, 1 week after Utah he started going to bed around 8 or 9 and waking up around 2 or 3 and waking up again around 5 or 6, hallelujah!!
He started sleeping 4 hour stretches on December 17th which is when we got to Utah. A couple of nights he slept 6 hours but I couldn't enjoy it because I had the flu for 2 nights and had to sleep next to Alex the rest of the time and he wasn't sleeping through the night. My milk supply also decreased due to the flu so I was doing some serious pumping, scary.
Loves his new Tummy Tub that he got for Christmas and also likes the sponge we lay him on in the bathtub.
Likes his play gym especially if Alex isn't awake trying to lay on top of him and play with him.
Loves to be held. If he gets fussy he will usually stop the minute you pick him up and cuddle him, so sweet.
Not a huge fan of the car unless you're moving or he's sleeping.
Likes being carried in the Bjorn and doesn't mind the stroller as long as he can see you.
At his 6 week appointment the Dr told us the right side of his head was starting to go flat so to lay him flat and stretch his neck to the left. Hopefully that prevents the helmet!!
Eats every 3 hours and takes about 15 minutes.
Still takes a bottle and a binky, hooray!!
He is amazing at burping and he hardly spits up both of which Alex was awful at.
Discovered his fingers around 7 weeks and puts them in his mouth.
Finally stopped going to the bathroom in the middle of the night right at 2 months, thank goodness. Changing a poopy diaper at 2am is the worst.
Has almost outgrown his 0-3 month clothes wide and long which I know Alex didn't do until 3 months. Some of them he hasn't even worn yet and that's a perfect example on why you shouldn't spend money on baby clothes until they can wear them for at least 6 months.
Size 1 diapers are also almost too small for him, stop growing so fast :(
