The Presleys: 2 Months

At two months old, Mr. Jack:

Weight: 12 lbs 14.6 oz (50-75%)

Height: 23.5" (75%)

Head Circ: 16" (90%)

rewards us with the biggest smiles for paying even the slightest bit of attention to him
is cooing
has very good head control - he can hold it up for a long time and look around
hates tummy time
has begun to notice the mirror on his swing
is mesmerized by the ceiling fan
adores his big sisters and loves when they shower him with attention
seems to be feeling better tummy-wise and only has an occasional bad day now
has completely stopped the projectile vomiting
is sleeping so.much.better at night - I'm getting 6-7 hour stretches people!!! Generally we are up once in the night since he nurses frequently til 11 pm and then is down for the next 6 hours or so. At 2 months 3 days he went to bed at 7:30 and I didn't see him again til 1:30, which is the same amount of time slept but means I'm up in the night more since he did his long stretch early. However, this is the trend that I want - our girls always went to bed early and then we could enjoy the rest of the evening, and I'm happy to see that Jack is beginning to follow suit.
naps pretty well. He is still in that sleepy stage where he dozes throughout the day, but he is developing a routine where he'll wake between 5 and 6 am, eat, go right back to sleep til about 8:30, is up for awhile, naps, etc. He tends to take a long nap in the afternoon while the girls are having their rest time.
once he hit about 6 weeks, we turned a corner on all of the difficulties we were having with sleeping/eating constantly/tummy troubles and he's been such an easy-going baby since then.
still loves to be held, but I can lay him down and he'll put himself to sleep. We snuggle a lot in the evenings just because I like to and don't get to as much during the day when the girls are running around
is doing better in the carseat and is usually pretty happy unless he's starving
doesn't like to hang out in the carseat (stroller) unless it's moving
loves the sling, any sling. He falls asleep almost instantly.
refuses the pacifier, which I'm oddly thankful for. Avery took it until three months, Eleanor finally broke the habit a few months ago, and Jack doesn't like it at all.
went on his first and second road trips, both to Houston - once for Mother's Day/family get-together, and again on a quick trip to see my grandma who was in the hospital.
