Calvin is 2 Months!

Even though I miss my floppy, snuggly, sleepy newborn... I am loving this new stage! Calvin is so much more interactive and alert. He makes eye contact all the time and I love watching him learn and experience new things, like feeling Dad's scratchy beard. haha

Calvin is...

• Still exclusively breastfeeding and becoming quite the master at multiple positions (even straddling my leg and sitting up while eating! So grown up.)
• Sleeping about 9 hours at night with one 4am feeding (usually)
• NOT good at napping. He sleeps for about 30 minutes and then wakes up. Sometimes I can get him to go back to sleep, but he's really inconsistent. The swing and the Moby are lifesavers. 
• Holding up his head ALMOST perfectly. (Still a little bobbly when he's tired) 
• Making drastic improvement during tummy time. He lifts his head, pushes up with his arms and the doctor says his skills are equivalent to a FOUR-month-old!
• Sitting up when we hold his fingers or with a little help from the couch, or the Bumbo
• Rolling over from tummy to back. 
• Pushing down on his legs to stand when he hold him  
• Focusing and tracking objects frequently
• Smiling a lot more often! He loves different noises & changes in pitch when we talk.
• Kicking his legs and swatting toys.
• Grabbing and pulling Mom's hair.
• Making lots of new noises like cooing, growling and my personal favorite: howling.
• Wearing Size 2 diapers, some 3-month clothes and even some 6-month clothes! (depending on the brand.)
• Weight: 12.14 pounds 
• Height: 23.3 inches 
• Head size: 15.8 inches  

Dislikes: 

• Saline drops and the snot-snucker (Mom hates this too. His cry is so pitiful, but he has been really congested and it impacts both sleeping and eating.) 
• Naps (in his bed)
• Shots
• Dad's tiger noises 
• The sound of velcro
• Pooping

Likes: 

• Activity Playground
• MAM Pacifiers 
• Naps in his swing
• Hanging out on the back porch
• Snuggling in the Moby
• Baby bench presses (aka: being "Super-Cal") with Dad
• Baby Einstein "Mirror Me" Book
• "Moo, Baa, LaLaLa" Book
• Chats with Dad

And lastly, here's his two month video! It's a little more exciting than last month's. But I'm sure it's a lot more interesting for me than the average viewer. Oh, and if you make it through the extra scenes at the very, very end, there's a special clip, compliments of Dad.
