Little Man is 2 Months Old!

Well, I missed the 1 month old post, so we'll start up with the 2 month post!

Brewer was 2 months old on May 1, and is the delight of our hearts.

- He is coo-ing a lot, and "talking" to us. We've started trying to talk back to him after he coos in an effort to start the beginnings of "conversation"...

- He has started smiling regularly, usually when we're changing his diaper. Almost as if to say "Be careful! I might pee on you!" (Which he does. Not quite as often as in the beginning, but still enough to be annoying.)

- He has started to enjoy baths a lot, and will sit still in the bath, letting his arms float and then will start kicking and splashing all of a sudden and get very excited.

- He nurses regularly every 2.5 to 2.75 hours, in an effort to try to reduce nightly feedings.

- We had 3 glorious nights in a row last Thu., Fri. and Sat. where he slept 8, 7 and 7 hours respectively! Then, he reverted back to waking up after 4 to 5 hours to eat again.

- He's sleeping pretty well at night in his "Swaddle Me" blanket.

- He's starting to focus more on things with his eyes, rather than staring off into space. He likes our faces, the TV and his playmat toy that plays fun music. (He gets excited when the music pays, and starts kicking along with the music.)

-He's discovered his tongue, and will stick his tongue in and out of his mouth, almost like he's tasting something, or wants to lick the air. Very funny!

- Brian wants me to include that Brewer's starting to get a "Friar Tuck" hairline.

We love you, sweet boy!

Mommy is doing well, too! It took a little longer for me to heal than I expected it would, and the recovery continues. With a little more sleep (and I think the adjustment to less sleep) I'm handling day-to-day mini crises better (hello, projectile poo!!! Who knew babies had that kind of trajectory?!?) I'm feeling incredibly blessed to be able to stay at home right now- I'm working from home, but finding it difficult to get everything done that I need to.

Overall: Love, love, love. I fall in love all over again every time I look at this face!
