Joel is now 2 months old. It is amazing how fast these 2 months have gone.
Weight: 12lbs 12.3oz (55 %)
Height: 2 ft 0.25 in (89%)
Clothing:0-3 months
Schedule: Joel takes a couple hour morning nap shortly after Rachel wakes up and afternoon nap during Rachel's nap. He also catnaps in the evening in between fussing. He has recently started eating every 3-4 hours instead of every 2 1/2. He eats his final meal at 10:20pm and sleeps from 11pm until anywhere between 5am and 7:30am.
Likes: He loves sucking on his pacifer, being cuddled, and rocking in the chair. His favorite songs include "The Itsy Bitsy Spider," Jesus Loves Me, and "My God is so Great."
Dislikes: He hates to have a wet or dirty diaper, waking up alone, and wild play (like being lifted high and fast in the air).
Joel is such a joy to have in our family. Rachel loves him and is adjusting to sharing mommy's attention. She likes to help bathe him and change his diaper. I am learning how to balance 2 kiddos and housework especially now that we started home school preschool. I have to be intentional with how I spend my time be it unpacking boxes (we have less than 6 left!), cleaning the house, cooking meals, playing with Rachel or Joel, planning and carrying out our preschool lessons, and and making sure I get a little me time. Sticking to a schedule and planning what I need and want to get done the night before really helps. It gets a little easier to balance it all everyday.
