Two Months and a Few Days

The last time I wrote, my little guy had just turned one month old, and now he is two months old and a completely different child than a month ago.  Sure, he is still as cute as a button, the love of our lives and absolutely amazing, but my, how he has grown and changed.   He is much heavier for starters.  At the 1 month weigh-in he was 7lbs 11oz.  If our bathroom scale is correct, he now weighs at least 8lbs 15 oz. His face has filled out a bit and he is starting to get those ever so adorable little fat rolls on his thighs.  He is also smiling! He is seeing much better, becoming more interactive, and crying...a lot (well maybe not a lot compared to some, but for him, it's a lot!)  He is VERY particular when he is trying to get comfortable.  A fraction of an inch makes all the difference between blood curdling screaming to complete on-the-verge of sleeping relaxation within seconds. Just when I think I know the kid, he throws me a curve ball.  For example, he has ALWAYS been very good in the car seat once he is settled.  It's a sure fire way to make him relax and fall asleep...until this week.  This week, it has been non-stop crying in the car seat.  Also, he has a favorite walking around position.  I hold him upright and bounce him as we walk around the house. It has ALWAYS worked to calm him down within minutes.  Not this week.  This week he wants to be on his tummy across my knees, or on his tummy on the couch. Unless you ask me today, and today that's not good enough. He must still be settling into himself.  I imagine that as a baby, you just get comfortable with everything and you grow, or see more, or put on weight... those things are difficult adjustments even as adults and in the little baby it happens so very fast.  No wonder I'm having trouble getting used to what he wants.  The poor kid is changing drastically from one day to the next.
