2 months old and more precious than ever! My favorite words to describe you are perfect, adorable, loveable, squishy, chunky, sweet, snuggly, and rolls for DAYS.
You are growing like a weed. Weighing in at home today at 13.5 pounds of love. And, goodness I can't get enough of your arm, ankle, thigh, knee, wrist, and you-name-it rolls. Your cheeks keep getting fuller- if thats possible! Your eyelashes are growing long (which I love!) and sparkly as ever lately. You are finally starting to smile. Not a lot, but when you do we can't get enough! Your eyes wander quite a bit and we've noticed the nystagmus more as you've gotten older, which we expected. Your jaundice lingered quite a bit, enough so that we even got your labs checked again to make sure. Of course they showed you still had some bilirubin, enough to make you still look yellow, but not enough that caused worry. But, I think it's Finally starting to go away. You wear size 1 diapers and 0-3 or 3 month clothes.
You sure like to eat! Every three hours. You have been a bugger to get to sleep, but a little tough love and making you cry it out a bit, we're finally making progress. You just prefer to be held. But you do sleep well at night! Waking once a night typically, but that time is getting later and later. Typically around 4 am. A few times you made it past 5 am. And once, you even made it till 8:30. Not sure that was a fluke. But at least we're trending towards sleeping through the night. Hoping it comes soon- before I go back to work would be great! :) You are still the gassiest baby ever. Burp like a man. Spit up quite a bit, but not as much as your brothers. Still have some reflux issues, but surprisingly, not that bad!
You love your hands and chew or suck on them whenever you can coordinate getting them to your mouth! :) Your brother even gave you lizard and you managed to get that into your mouth on your own. You Love your binky. Prefer to be swaddled to sleep for naps and bed. Really Love to be held, especially by Mama. But, you like your swing and vibrating bouncer. You don't mind tummy time, but get bored or cranky pretty quickly so it never lasts too long. You love to stand (or bear weight on your legs). You love your brothers, but sometimes get a little smothered by them. They can't get enough of you and probably can't wait till you're just older to play with them. You love baths. Always so content in the tub and could stay in there for such a long time! You get fussy when you're tired and sure can scream bloody murder when you're upset or over tired. You are just starting to coo and try to "talk" with us and I love it.
Isaac Jacob.
You are such a joy and we can't get enough of you.
You are simply THE sweetest.
And, this is precisely how I feel.
