I know it's been said a million times, but time really does start flying by as you get older. I can't believe it's already been two months, and yet I can't even remember my life without Noah. He is just getting bigger every day and he is learning new things so quickly. He's had a couple of big firsts this week. A few nights ago I woke up about 1:30am and I leaned over to check on him and there he was fast asleep just sucking away on his thumb. It was really hard to resist the temptation to get the camera and take a picture, but I didn't want to wake him up. I did wake up Matt though to show him. It was so cute! He hasn't done it since then, but I'm sure it won't be long before that's all he does. He already prefers his fist to the pacifier but he just gets so frustrated that he can't put the whole thing in his mouth.
He also learned how to roll over from his tummy to his back. He's such a chunk I wasn't sure if he was ever going to roll over, but sure enough he did it! Matt was playing with him last night on the tummy mat and he just kept doing it over and over. But, of course, as soon as I got out the camera to video it he stopped and started crying. I'm still trying to get it, so hopefully I'll be posting it soon!
We also went to Noah's two month check-up this week to get shots and an exam. He is doing great! He's up to 12lbs 10oz (which means he gained 2 lbs in 3 weeks - and you can tell!) and he is 23 1/2 inches long. He had to get 3 shots in the leg and one oral vaccine. They gave him the shots first and I was thinking that was dumb because he was screaming when they were done and I didn't think there was any way they were going to get the oral one down him. However, he LOVED it and starting screaming again when he was finished because he wanted some more. Who knew? I guess they do that on purpose so at least they're happy when you leave. He was pretty fussy after the shots and had a fever the rest of the night but that's about it. He was himself again this morning so I guess we survived.
He is still cooing up a storm and has gotten a lot more conversational with it the past few days. He coos at me then waits for me to say something back then starts cooing again. It's awesome! I feel like he is finally starting to relate to me on a deeper level. Maybe he will be an early talker - even the Dr commented on how much he coos. I'm convinced he already understands what I'm saying to him even though he can't say anything back yet.
We are still working on the naps, but they are getting better. He sleeps for about 30 to 45 mins in his swing between each feeding now - which still isn't great but MUCH better than he was doing. He's still waking up once in the middle of the night but hopefully it won't be too much longer until he can go the whole night without waking up.
He's just perfect and I love watching him grow and learn new things each day. It's awesome to watch him discover the world around him and to be such a huge part of that for him.
