Jon is two months old! As per blog tradition, I’m back to sharing monthly updates.
Two Months Old
Likes: bath time with your sister, being held, walks in the stroller
Dislikes: being strapped in the car seat too long, belly pain

Feeding schedule: nursing every 2.5-3 hours
Size: 13.5 lb, size 2 diapers, 0-3 month clothing
Sounds and motions: squawking and grunting when hungry, big smiles and cooking when he sees Mama, Dada or big sister, roll from stomach to side
Favorite toys and games: kicking the music mat, looking at the hanging mobile, shadows or ceiling fan
Learning to: hold his head up, recognize family faces, finding his hands to suck on

A look back:
One Month Old
Likes: being held all day, bath time, rocking, staring at the fan or light fixtures
Dislikes: diaper changes, belly pains, sitting by himself (especially during dinner time)
Sleeping patterns: lots of naps all day, waking up more in the morning and late afternoon. Nights are still inconsistent, sometimes we’ll get a stretch of 4-5 hours and some nights he’s up every 2 hours
Feeding schedule: nursing on every 2-3 hours but prefers snacking all day
Size: ~10 lb, size 1 diapers, 0-3 month clothing
Sounds and motions: the noisiest grunting, squeaking, and coughing, waving arms, focusing on faces, smiling occasionally
Favorite toys and games: waving arms to reach hanging toys, scooting during tummy time
Learning to: love the swing, nap without being held, hold up head
Firsts: two doctor visits, meet family – big sister Amelia, Gaga and Pop, Grandma Peachie & GG, Uncle Brock, cousins Bob & Brenda, meet family friends, two play dates at our house, bath time with Amelia, stroll in the neighborhood

One of the best parts of having a personal blog is being able to look back at the archives. So just for fun, here’s a quick comparison to Amelia’s second month:
