Caught a Smile!

My little man is two months old today and I caught a smile for the camera. This was rather difficult since I'd have to get him to smile, and then get the camera up in front of my face, and quickly snap the picture. I think that's my shadow over his chest. I've been getting smiles for about a month now, but he's been doing it more and more lately, and for daddy too (sometimes).

Anyways, this happy little guy is the best baby! He does have his fussy times, but who doesn't? He's definitely a mama's boy and sometimes will only settle down for me. It does make somethings hard to do, when I'm the only one who can hold him, but we manage!

He's a great sleeper and gave me a nice six-hour stretch for my Birthday. He loves riding in the stroller, but prefers the infant carseat one where he can face you. What can I say? He likes looking at mommy. He's not growing at the rate of his brothers, but he's not small by any means. At 6 weeks he was 10 lbs, 9 oz. We'll see what his stats are tomorrow at his 2-month check up and I'll post them with comparisons.

He's not on a set nap schedule yet, but we'll work on that soon. He does usually take a LONG nap in the afternoons, when we are home and conveniently wakes up when I sit down to eat my dinner. He also loves looking at his airplane mobile that is over his changing table. That almost always settles him down. He also likes to be held upright, rather than cradled. It can make for some tired arms when I'm not using my Ergo.

Keeping growing baby....we love you!
