First couple months of parenthood

Grayson turned two months old last week and it went by really fast but really slow at the same time. I'm just glad we made it through! We brought Grayson home from the hospital on Sunday Nov. 3rd. We had to be in the hospital a little bit longer because he was in the NICU for a few days while they monitored his breathing. He was doing great, but we still had to bring him home on a breathing monitor which brought another level of stress to that of already having a newborn. Luckily my mom was there to save the day that first week of being home. She taught me everything I needed to know from feeding him to bathing him and everything in between.

The next week my mother-in-law Peg, her husband Jeff, and her sister Aunt Lynne came and stayed with us. They cooked us lots of delicious meals, cleaned our apartment, and got some cuddle time in with Grayson too :)

Here are a few things about Grayson:

Month 1 

Has a very good rooting reflex and likes to peck at my shoulder and neck when I hold him

HATES diaper changes and being naked

Likes to furrow his brows and study things around him

Constantly eating

Has a bit of reflux and doesn't like to be laid down on his back

Was off his breathing monitor at 3 weeks and didn't ever have any apnea episodes!

Loves to cuddle

Month 2 

Still hates diaper changes

Likes his baths and drying off by the space heater

Smiles really big, especially in the mornings

Kicks his legs all the time whether he's really happy or really upset

Loves to bounce on the exercise ball

Copies dad when he sticks his tongue out

Still loves to cuddle :)

Oh yeah, I didn't mention anything about his sleep habits... let's just say we're working on it!
