2 Months!

Precious baby boy is 2 months! Well now he's almost 10 weeks, since it's taken me a few days to get this post together. I'm still baffled by what I do all day. I wake up earlier than I ever have (and I'm a morning person!) and next thing I know, it's 6pm and the laundry is still in the washing machine from 2 days ago and dishes are piled in the sink.

Well, actually I do know what I've been up to... singing the song to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, making animal noises and giving lots of kisses! Just a few of Thomas' favorite things at 2 Months. A couple of weeks ago, we realized that Thomas has a preference to look right. I think this is partly our fault because that's how we would always put him in his crib so that we could see his precious little face in the monitor-- oops! Nothing serious but something I'm now cognizant of. One of my tricks for getting him to look left is to put on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (thanks Lissa for the suggestion!), lay him on his activity mat and then he turns his own head to the left to watch Mickey. Another one of his favorite activities is looking at his Wee Gallery Animal Art Cards (thanks Dee & Eleanor!). They're black and white animal drawings that just mesmerize Thomas. Or maybe he's mesmerized by me making the associated animal noises (btw, what noise does a giraffe make?).

At Thomas' 2 Month check-up he weighed 13lb 10oz (85th percentile), measured 23 7/8 inches (77th percentile) and his head is 16.25" (76th percentile). Is that why babies are so cute-- they're head circumference is 70% of their height?!

Since his 1 month check-up, he's gained about 2.5 pounds, grew half an inch and his head grew almost an inch!

Baby Boy is growing up too fast!
