Hunter's TWO MONTH STATS!

Hunter always measured bigger than Austin while he was in the womb so I was not surprised when we went to the doctor Friday for Hunter's 2 month check up and he was bigger than Austin was at 2 months. Here is how they compare Weight- Austin was 10lbs. 6oz. and Hunter was 10lbs. 13oz. Height- Austin was 22in. and Hunter was 23in. So what that means for our growing boy. Hunter has gained 5lbs. 4oz. since he was born (almost doubled his weight) and grown 4in. WOW! What a busy two months he has had! Below are the two month photos of each of the boys...what do you think? I think they are brothers for sure but have their own looks. (I dressed them in the exact same outfit so that I could really see how much they look alike.)

Austin at 2 months.
Other things Hunter is up to these days are: smiles ALL the time and likes to stay awake A LOT during the day! He takes very short cat naps usually and loves to eat usually still feeding every 2 hours although if he takes a longer nap mommy gets a longer break. Mommy also tries to feed him before he ask since he has reflux. Crying will only cause him to swallow more air which will make him spitting up even more than he already does. At least he doesn't scream or cry afterwards or during feedings. We just know he has reflux because he makes "air noises" like he can't breathe, spits up A LOT unless you let him sleep afterwards, and sounds really congested at night (sleeps propped up in his swing...mommy doesn't have it swinging because she doesn't want to have to break that habit but he needs to sleep propped up). His doctor says all babies have reflux to some degree and that if it starts to really bother him let her know and she will try to make it better. Hopefully he will be fine and in a couple months will have outgrown it. Fingers are crossed because I'm not sure I have enough burp clothes to keep up with this little guy. Haha.
