2 Months Old/Christmas

Bryce is now 2 months old! It has been an exciting month for him. He now weighs 11 pounds, 3 ounces, which means he has gained 4 pounds since birth. He is 22 5/8 inches tall, and his head circumference is 15 3/4 inches. All of these are still right around the 50th percentile! He had his first big round of shots at the doctor, and he seemed ok except for having a slight fever last night after coming home, but he is fine today. He can really hold his head up better now, and we even recently put him in the bumbo seat for the first time. He loves it! I think he really likes being able to see things from a different perspective, and he can keep a close eye on what his brother is doing! Bryce is also still sleeping like a champ! He usually goes anywhere between 6-8 hours, and may sometimes go back for another hour or two after eating. He does have his first little cold, so the last few nights he has been congested and coughing, but still tries to sleep through it all. He's a tough little guy! We still can't believe how blessed we are to have him be such a good sleeper, and we can only hope it stays this way. We were able to do different things this time that we didn't/couldn't do with Grant that I believe have helped him sleep better. He is also still eating well. He wants to eat more often during the day since he goes so long at night, but that is fine with me! He also smiles a lot now, especially while on his changing table when he catches our eye. I'm having trouble catching it on camera, though! Many times he looks like Grant, but he definitely has his own little look most of the time. He is just so sweet and content, and we couldn't ask for anything more!

Christmas was very busy, especially with 2 kids, but it was still a blast. We took until the last minute to get all our shopping done, food made, etc. We had probably 6 different stops to make at various get togethers/gift-givings/etc. which has made for very tired kids (and us too!) but we have loved spending so much time together and with our families. Grant really enjoyed opening his presents this year, and he especially loved the train table that Santa brought him. We spent all day yesterday home in our pjs putting together his toys, playing, etc. Bryce had a great first Christmas as well. We now look forward to ringing in the new year!
