Two months!

William turned two months old last week. We had his well-check this week and found out that he is 14 pounds (90th percentile) and 24 3/4 inches long (97th percentile). He is my mega-baby. He has a nasty case of cradle cap. The pediatrician suggested Selsum Blue, but I am a bit leery of using something so medicinal. I might try some oils first.

He is getting a lot better head strength and smiling more. He sleeps well at night, a blessing I never expected after Elliott's sleep struggles. We just got a crib for him this week and plan on moving him from the bassinet to the crib this weekend. I am praying that it will be a smooth transition for him and that his good sleep continues.   

Elliott is still unpredictable with him, but now that William is getting less fragile I am not as horrified by it.  But it is still pretty shocking to see your newborn baby hit in the head or bitten. But other times Elliott kisses him, wants to dance with him or give him toys. He even talks to him in this baby voice. He shouts "Will-em!" whenever one of us brings the baby into the room.

  1. We had to use Selsum Blue on Luke and it was totally fine! My sister that is a pediatrician told us to and it worked! You just have to be sure and keep it out of their eyes, that's all. Give it a try :)
