Joshua is two months old. At this age, I guess there’s not too much to report except that he’s been busy growing and smiling. I can’t believe he’s left his newborn days behind and is growing into such a chunk. He has beautiful eyes and such a great smile that you can’t help but return it when you see it. I forgot how wonderful those early smiles are.
We’ve had a bit of a rough month between Christmas, sickness (not his, thankfully, but all of the rest of us), increased fussing by Joshua, and the normal night waking of a baby. I took him to the doctor before Christmas because he suddenly started having periods of inconsolable crying and general fussiness. After a few hours at the pediatrician for some tests (his history indicated some concerns), he seemed healthy aside from some prolonged jaundice. The fussing nearly resolved until we travelled for Christmas, then, unless he was sleeping, he fussed almost constantly while we were away. This meant he didn’t get to do much visiting. It resolved again once we were home and back in a stable routine.
At this point, Joshua is sleeping between 4-6 hours at a time at night. It seems that no matter what time his last feeding is, he wakes around 3:30AM to eat, then usually not again until we are all up around 7:30AM. I’m enjoying the routine, but I’m looking forward to a whole night of sleep!
One last thing of note…Joshua has been trying his thumb on for size. Just in the last few days he’s really been trying to get and hold his thumb in his mouth. We are hoping he’s successful so we don’t have to keep up with the paci anymore.
Each person in our family has completely fallen for our little man. When I asked Jacob what I should include in this post about him, all he said was “just say that he’s sweet”. That pretty much sums it up. We all love him to bits and we have to remind the boys not to smother him. Aside from the above mentioned phase, he’s been really easy going.
