Carson- Two Months

Carson's Likes: Cuddling, ceiling fans, baths, the rattles on his carseat, just started the piano mat
                                 
Carson's Dislikes: Bottles, the sun in his face

Not So Sure About: When Bennett gets loud all of the sudden out of nowhere

Weight: 12 lbs even at the Doctors
Length: 22 and 3/4 inches
Clothing Size: Switched to 0-3 months (or 3 months Carters)
Diaper Size: Size 1
Eating Habits: Solely on Mommy's milk and is a very fast eater, it doesn't take him long to fill up!
Sleep: Waking 2-3 times a night. Mommy usually does the first wakeup, and then Daddy was giving him a bottle of pumped milk (which he isn't so sure about) so sometimes Mommy ends up feeding him then too (and the third time if there is one).  Still sleeping in the rock and play in our room.
Accomplishments: He is now cooing, smiling and kicking on the piano mat

Bennett- Twenty-Three Months

Bennett's Likes: PAW Patrol, bath crayons and bubbles, his lawn mower, trucks, ice cream (especially from the ice cream truck on Tuesday nights), walks, being scared by Daddy, wrestling with Daddy
          
Bennett's Dislikes: Being "done" eating and throwing his plate or food (maybe that's more of OUR dislike)

Not So Sure About: Now only likes garbage trucks from afar,
 
Weight: --
Length: --
Clothing Size: All 24 month and 2T clothes
Diaper Size: Still in size 4 Swaddlers during the day, size 5 baby dry at night
Eating Habits: Loves eating a strawberry waffle, fruit and sometimes turkey sausage for breakfast-- likes to eat snacks throughout the day, and his favorite is fruit
Sleep: Usually sleeps from about 9 until 8:00/9:00
Accomplishments: His new favorite word is "SSSIIIITTTT" I think he really likes bossing people around. He knows star as well, and just recently started saying tur-tle, and he's starting to add more names into the mix.  He loves saying "bubbles" when he goes to take a bath.

Carson- One Month

Carson's Likes: Being held, sleeping up on people's chests, eating, being swaddled with his arms out, laying on your legs when they're propped up, ceiling fans, lights
                                 
Carson's Dislikes: Being naked when getting changed

Not So Sure About: Bathtime

Weight: 10 lbs 5 ounces (he was 7 lbs 6 ounces at his one week checkup and born at 7 lbs 12.7 ounces)
Length: 21.5 inches (he was 21 inches at birth)
Clothing Size: All Newborn
Diaper Size: Newborn
Eating Habits: He is a milk monster-- he will eat every second of the day if I let him.  We are working on the 2 hour time periods between feedings
Sleep: He is not the best sleeper (understandably).  He usually eats at 11, 2, 5 and then cluster feeds in the morning.  Okay for now, but not when I go back to work :\
Accomplishments: Holds his head up like a champ (doctor says he shouldn't be this good until 2 months), has a great latch, puts up with his big brother well so far!

One Month Comparison

We are working on getting Carson's' first month blog post up (need to take the pictures still) but to hold you over, here are the first four week pictures.  For fun, I included Bennett's first four weeks as well!  To me, they look pretty different, but Jason swears that they look very similar.  What do you think?

Carson

 Bennett

Twenty Two Months

Bennett's Dislikes: The bath tub-- he pooped in it twice and now is terrified of taking a bath, watching certain iMovies that I've made (if the background music is too "sad" he cries), sitting in his highchair

Not So Sure About: Getting his diaper changed, when he poops in his diaper, he grabs it to tell you that he needs changed (even though he doesn't want to be changed),

Length: --
Clothing Size: All 24 month clothes
