Theodore: Two Months


Time continues to fly, Theodore was two months old back in mid March.  He weighed in at 12.1 pounds, measured 22.8 inches long and nicely fills out his 0-3 clothes.  He's still in size 1 diapers but getting close to moving up to size 2.

My favorite thing about this past month is Teddy starting to smile - which he loves to do and show off his one dimple.  He's started cooing and making baby noises and getting a little bit stronger with his head - soon he'll be holding it up all on his own.  Teddy loves having his belly rubbed, kicking/punching/stretching, being held, being pushed in his stroller and white noise!  His dislikes the evening hours, nose drops and being hungry, wet or tired - being overtired is a struggle for him!

We have a loose routine and try to get swaddled and have a bottle for bed about 8pm, some nights we just put him right down and see how it goes but most nights we put him in his swing and do another little dream feed around 10pm.  He's still not the best napper during the day but getting better!   He continues to be a hungry little boy - we aim for every three hours but sometimes he's ready by two - we're working on getting him to take more food at once as opposed to "snacks"spaced out - he's anywhere from 3-4.5 ounces.

This & That

Spring has sprung and the weather looks great this week - we've been loving outdoor playtime and look forward to much more of it!


We had a great day day trip down the shore a couple weeks ago - the beach was completely quiet so it was fun for Tatum to run all around.


Celebrating St. Patrick's Day was fun - another holiday in the books for little Teddy and lots of fun activities for Tatum.


Teddy's started smiling and "coo-ing" at us and we all love it - there's nothing like seeing that little smile and his one dimple.


Tatum continues to be obsessed with his little brother - each morning he climbs in his crib while Teddy is kicking to say good morning and get a hug.

Teddy's Newborn Photos

It feels like Teddy has been with us forever and those first days were so long ago.  We got his newborn pictures back recently and I couldn't love them more.  I finally got around to getting the birth announcements done and prints of many of these + more to display around our house.

While the shoot was about Teddy, I absolutely adore these brother shots and will always treasure them.  I was so happy to have Stella included since she was pictured in Tatum's newborn photos too.

This & That


I love watching these boys as brothers - Tatum loves being a big brother and helping whether running to get something, singing when Teddy cries or right when he gets home from school asking where he is.


We've been spending lots of family time together in the playroom...


While I was loving the snow days, now I'm getting very eager for warm spring weather, extra light in the evenings and outside time.  I took Teddy on his first walk on one of our "warmer" days and it was very refreshing.
