2 Months Old!
Posted by Andrew & Jessica on Tuesday Jan 22, 2008 Under Andrew
Our little baby Andrew is 2 months old today! He is quite the handsome boy and growing fast! We measured him and weighed him at home today and he was…
11 lbs 11 oz and 21.5 inches long.
(Of course we’ll double check that official measurement at the pediatrician on Thursday because last time I was slightly off and he was .25 inches longer than I realized).
He’s doing really well with eating and we’ve given him a bottle with my milk and he’s done well transitioning back and forth. Also takes a pacifier to soothe himself. Other ways he’s soothed is by movement. Whether it’s in our arms being rocked, swinging in his swing, or going for a ride in the car- little Andrew likes to keep moving and often falls asleep that way. Once he is fully asleep the motion can stop and he’ll stay sleeping.
So given that happens- he sleeps very well thus far. He does have some fussy moments but I’m pleased to say it’s pretty much the same times of day every day and it’s not in the middle of the night. Otherwise I might be a walking zombie because with a 2 1/2 year old there is no such thing as napping mid-day.
He coos when you talk to him, he smiles back at you, he loves to look around at toys, things with nice bold patterns, he’s got great head control for his age and lifts it well during tummy time, he recently noticed his hands and is starting to swing them around a bit more, he did bat at a few toys but I’m not sure it was on purpose or not. He loves to be held… a bit more needy then his big sister was with that but he’s just a cuddle bug. He’s a bit mushy and loving – as he loves when you kiss him and he seems to try to kiss back. He likes music and to be sung to and he definitely likes to have people around him and hear all of their voices. He also seems to particularly enjoy his big sister – but who couldn’t love her! 😉
And lately, it’s quite funny but he loves when daddy pats little drum beats on his chest!
And I know this is quite delayed but I was never able to share the pregnancy photos a friend had taken for us because they were done 6 days before he was born and we didn’t see them until he was over a month old. So if you feel like checking them out click the link:
Well that’s about all for the update now… I hope to be able to write Mary Elizabeth’s update soon so stay tuned for preschool talk and surgery dates!
