At two months old, Cade:
Likes: Bathtime - seriously loves it. He instantly calms down and has started splashing his legs. His favorite part is still getting his head scrubbed at the end. It's been his favorite since the day he was born.
Eating: that boy will eat and eat and eat. Then he'll spit it back up and eat some more. He nurses like a champ.
Snuggling: he doesn't like to get put down. That makes it a real challenge to work or get ready or do the dishes, so I try and fit in as much as I can when he takes his (one) nap each day.
Talking: he has found his voice and he makes the biggest smiles when you talk to him and does his best to contribute to the conversation.
Doesn't like:
Getting his diaper changed
Getting dressed after bathtime
Getting put down
He's doing (mildly) better with tummy time, but we need to do it more often.
I'll update his height and weight after his 2 month app this week.
Last night at dinner Jeff and I had the realization at the exact same moment that we finally feel refreshed and like normally functioning adults again. I'm pretty sure this is directly correlated to the fact that he has had 2 nights of really good sleep - Saturday, he had 6 hrs and then 3 hrs, and last night he had 7 hrs and then 2 hrs.
Mom moments:
I discovered (I think) the key to getting him to sleep for a good while at night. Feed him really well, and then I bring him into our bed and let him rest for 20 minutes while I get ready for bed. Then nurse him side-lying until he is good and out, and he won't wake when he gets transferred to his crib. These are the sweetest moments for me - and I'm always super tempted to just let him sleep with us all night but I've got a fear that I'll crush him or something.
He came with to our company Christmas party and did so good! He slept most of the time and then smiled at my mom the rest of it.
