2 Months and counting...

Two months??? Well plus an additional week since I have been delinquent in posting on time.  I cannot believe that this precious sweet boy came into our life a month ago.  Motherhood has been such a wonderful journey thus far. 

He is growing great... at his 2 month check up he weight 11 lbs 5 ounces and was 22 1/2 inches long.  He also got 4 shots and an oral vaccine at this visit.  He was a little cranky that evening, but my boy was super strong and brave :)

Jonah is still a sweet boy, who rarely fusses (unless he is hungry or his belly is acting up). 

He is still a blondie and his eyes are definately blue (I was hoping for this!)

He is smiling and cooing TONS.  My favorite times with him during the day is when he wakes up in the morning and after his morning nap.  Here is a little video of my morning fun with him....

Jonah still enjoys his green soothie pacifier (and mommy and daddy enjoy that he enjoys it!)

He is trying frequently to suck his thumbs.  Though it seems as though the thought of thumbsucking is appealing, the actual act does not appear to be.  The few times that we have helped him to find his thumb (yes I know we will regret this later) he seems completely disgusted at the taste/texture of it.

To our wonderful surprise, Jonah tries and succeeds at sleeping through the night every third night or so.  The other nights he tends to wake up at 330 in the morning and stubbornly stays up for a few hours before finally drifting back to sleep.  I am dreading going back to work after those nights.

Jonah loves to sleep mostly on his boppy pillow wrapped in a fuzzy blanket.  I wish that I could let him sleep like this at nighttime, because he truely sleeps better with a cozy blanket, but SIDS is too much of a risk for me to gamble like that.

After two months of a lot of hard work, Jonah is finally receiving 100% breast milk (with a very rare formula top off here and there).

The cats are doing much better with him.  Audrey isn't madly in love with him, but she no longer hisses and in fact has laid beside him quite a few times.  Willow still "protects" him and we call her the guard cat.

Jonah is super strong and has great head control.  He also has started weight bearing on his legs, so I am going to get him and exersaucer so he can continue to practice.

I read to Jonah (almost) everyday.  He really likes Dr. Seuss and anything with black, white, and red illustrations (So far the Olivia books and Horton hatches an egg have been a hit).

We took Jonah to the Watermelon Festival in Carytown a few weekends ago.  He was completely uninterested and slept the entire time.  He has had two outdoor events thus far and has slept through both of them and then some.  The heat really wears him out.

I return to work in two weeks and am so sad that I will be leaving my boy.  Hopefully one day I will be able to stay at home more :)
