Cashion at 2 months

We had our 2 month check-up last week and he is doing great.

Height: 23 1/2 inches (75th percentile)

Weight: 14 pounds 6 ounces (95th percentile)

Head Circumference: 41 cm (75th percentile)

He is wearing 6 month onesies now and filling them out (something Sadie never did.) We have an all-American "Carter's" boy, whereas our little baby girl was more of a long, thin French baby fitting in "Petite Bateau" clothing. He has graduated to size 2-3 diapers, though we were able to squeeze him into the size 1's to use them all up.

He is really smiling and cooing now, especially when you change his diaper. He loves being naked and taking baths. He is sleeping 4-7 hours at night and eating more frequently during the day (yay, good sleepers!) He started sleeping longer stretches after I started swaddling just his arms at night (a tip from another mom that works like a charm because he tends to get really hot and try to kick out of the swaddle, but his arms flail and wake him up if we don't do it.)

He is able to get his hand to his mouth, which he sucks on instead of a pacifier. He can bring his hands together and can track me with his eyes around the room (translation: "don't let that food source get too far away.") He bears weight through his legs and is holding his head up really well now.

Matt and I have had a couple of nights out in the last few weeks, but Cashion doesn't like it when we go away so he has given his grandparents a rough time. He will take a bottle, but only if he is really hungry and tends to fuss when I am away. Otherwise, he is a fast eater, nursing no more than 15 or 20 minutes at a time.

All in all, we are learning to read his cues and figuring out his quirks. We are loving this little snuggly boy.
