Wow, two months old! It is amazing how much can change in a month. I already feel like I have many more things to write about you this month compared to last month. Overall, you seem less content at two months old compared to one month. I’m not sure exactly what the fussiness is all about, but we think it may be acid reflux or possibly an issue with dairy. Hopefully we’ll figure it out soon so you won’t feel so bad.
You are more alert every day and you have been sleeping for much longer stretches at night. I knew you were growing, but I was amazed to find out that you weigh more than a pound more than your brother did at 2 months. That might make wearing hand-me-downs a little difficult!
You started smiling this month and it melts my heart. I love to see you smile! You have found your hands and at times like to suck on your hands. I’m curious to see if you end up being a thumb-sucker.
You are an extremely expressive little boy from smiles to wrinkly foreheads to big eyes. Sometimes we joke that you have “big-eyed” us when we you give us a certain look. You’ve also started making the cutest baby noises.
You can be quite picky about the way you like to be held. Sometimes you make your dad hold you like the photo below to be happy. :) Luke @ one month
