2 month update!

Tomorrow I turn 2 months old. Monday I get to visit the doctor to get measured and get shots.

My mom worked on this great video for me to celebrate turning 2 months. The song is the theme song to the TV Show "Dexter" - Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!



Skills I have mastered:
Smiling, laughing & squealing in delight at people. (people love this!)
I can sit up in my Bumbo chair for around ten minutes before I start to slump over.
I can imitate several facial moves like sticking out my tongue or making shapes with my lips.
I can make several sounds now like "O, Ooh, Aah" which apparently my mommy and daddy like better than crying.

Stuff I am working on:
Still working on thumb sucking. I can get my hand to my mouth pretty well now but something always jars it loose!
Eating calmly. Sometimes I feel like eating and cause no problems, however often I like to be very fussy and arch my back or thrash my head around (I especially like to do this when daddy is feeding me a bottle of breastmilk)
Sleeping through the night - this week I slept from 11pm-6am five times, the two other times I just had to wake at 3am for food. It's hard work growing!

Likes:
Going for walks is still my favorite.
I like getting licked by my doggies, but for some reason my mommy and daddy always stop them.
I like to eat once I am settled down...I eat between 4 and 5 oz 6 times a day!
I love gripe water - this is magical water that instantly makes me calm and happy and somehow gets rid of my hiccups.

Dislikes:
I don't really enjoy laying on my belly and often spit up some milk just to show mommy how much I dislike it. I don't mind tummy time on mommy's chest however, it's that hard floor I dislike.
Top of my list would have to be when I loose my pacifier or my hand/thumb gets out of my mouth.

Thanks for the update on your growth, Dex. You are good at listing all your likes and dislikes. What is gripe water?

Gripe water is water with ginger root and fennel extract. Its a natural anti-gas, anti-hiccup liquid and works great.
