Dominic - 2 Months Old!

I can't believe our little guy is 2 months old! He's much less newborn now, and a lot more baby!

Weight: 12lb. 5oz. Total weight gain of 3lb. 13oz since birth! He is about the 56th percentile for weight. 
Length: 62.5 cm. Total length gain of 11 cm. He is just under the 90TH PERCENTILE FOR HEIGHT! David is very excited about this. Maybe he'll have his basketball player after all!

Likes:

• Car Rides
• Walks in the stroller or ergo
• Cuddling/being held
• Sprawling out while he sleeps. Can't contain this guy's arms! He really dislikes being tightly swaddled now. 
• Mom & Dad's faces
• Bouncing on the exercise ball. I can't wait for him to be strong enough for the jolly jumper. Oh he is going to be sooo excited about that!
• The morning diaper change. He's such a happy guy after a full night's sleep!
• His soothie. 
• His Fists
• Bath Time

Dislikes:

• Coming out of the bath
• Being over-tired

Notes:

•  Received his 2 months shots today at Cloverdale Public Health. He cried a little, but was very consolable for the most part. 
• Tries to copy our faces
• Giggles from time to time, although sometimes his laughs seem to come out as more of a cough
• Grasps at different textures. Can be painful if he decides your face or neck is a fun one... how do baby fingernails grow so quickly?!
• Holds his head up for 20+ seconds during tummy time, although sometimes he just falls asleep instead...
• Learning to vocalize... a lot! Noises that aren't just crying or whining... YAY!
• Found his thumb for the first time on Feb 25!
• At night he typically sleeps for 5-6 hours for the first stretch of the night, followed by a 2-3 hour stretch, and sometimes another 2 hour stretch if I'm lucky! 
• During the day we try to follow the EASY schedule: Eat, Activity, Sleep, You Time. He is usually up for 1.5-2 hours, and then naps for 45 minutes to an hour and a half. That's what we aim for anyway... Doesn't always work that way! Naps in swing, bassinet, on his tummy, in the arms of a loved one, in the Ergo, or in his car seat!
• Blows bubbles
• Locks his knees. If he could balance, he could stand!
• Depending on the item, he is in 3-6 month clothing. 6 Month sleepers, 3-6 month onesies. He's a long and chunky babe!
• He still is a gassy baby, and it tends to be painful. Over all he's much better since I cut out dairy though!
• Pats/hits objects as a precursor to grabbing them. He particularly enjoys his crinkly Winnie the Pooh book. 

Now, in no particular order (but mostly old photos to new photos), because who has time for organizing... Just trying to get this done between whining fits! Haha

This photo is taken through the hole in his favorite "Hello Baby" book.

Love those baby blues!

I tend to capture the sweet moments, but we must not forget this is how he spends a lot of his time! Haha

Fishy Fishy!
