I've taken so long to do Ryder's two month post I should just wait until he's three months at this point... but since Brityn got a monthly post her first year so will Ryder, even if it's is over two weeks late!

Ryder is such a sweet little guy. He smiles all the time at everyone. He "talks" a lot. My favorite is when he says "ah-goo" it's so stinking cute, I could eat him up! He still sleeps a lot but he's starting to have longer stretches of being awake. He's still not sleeping through the night but will generally do a 5-6 hour stretch and will go right back to sleep for another 3 hours. He goes right to sleep on his own, I hope that continues! Brityn was so hard to get to sleep! And he's still on a three hour feeding schedule. He's wearing 0-3 month clothing and some 3-6 month already, depending on the brand.

At his two month check up he weighed 10 lbs 12 ounces and was 23" long. The doctor didn't tell me what percentiles he was in. He hated getting shots :( I would always nurse Brityn right after they poked her and she would calm down immediately, he wasn't very interested in nursing and cried for a while. He got a fever too and was pretty cranky the rest of the day.

When Ryder's binky is falling out he will bring both of his hands up and actually push it back in his mouth. I know this can't be possible for a 2 month old to do but it happens so much I'm starting to think it can't just be coincidence.
