He was actually 2 months on the 15th of November but I'm finally getting around to posting this. Little boy is growing like crazy! He is quite possibly the best baby. He smiles so much and it's especially cute at 4 in the morning :) He's not exclusively breastfed any more. Instead, I exclusively pump and bottle feed. After his feedings (pain and length) not getting any better like everyone says it should, I went to the lactation consultant. He is tongue tied but not enough to get it clipped (which didn't really matter because my pediatrician wouldn't refer me to an ENT or dentist to get it done) but he was tongue tied enough that it was extremely painful for me and he would take up to an hour to eat. So after doing some crazy mouth exercises, feeding not getting any better, being exhausted for a few weeks, Elijah going crazy and acting up, and Matt tired of seeing me sobbing at 3 in the morning we've decided to just pump and give it to him in a bottle. I make enough for him, so I figure as long as he's getting breastmilk who cares how he's getting it. It's a little more work, but for now it is working and my goal is to do it til he's 4 months. Then if I feel we can do it longer I'll go for 6 months. Matt has been so supportive and helpful. Love him. Elijah is still impartial to the baby. He will occasionally hold him or help make him smile. And if he's crying he lets me know and runs to grab his binky and shove it in his mouth. Here are a few things about our little Oliver:

-Sleeps really well. Down for the night around 9 sleeps til around 4, eats, then sleeps til about 7. He'll sometimes wake before 4 with gas but is easy to put back to sleep.
-He is the gassiest baby. He can rip some serious toots and sometimes they really stink.
-Loves looking around at the new world he can now see.
-Hardly ever cries. And if he does it is the cutest thing you'll ever hear.
-Is starting to coo and babble a little.
-Loves to be swaddled.
-Has had his head colored on by his big brother

And now for an Instagram dump.
