2 months old!

We went in on Tuesday for James' 2 month check up. He weighs 11lb. 13 oz. and is 24 in. long! He's a growing boy!

He is smiling a ton and even laughs now! I LOVE it! He kicks a lot and coos and blows spit bubbles :) I love watching him grow and learn something new every day.

At a little after a month old we had to kick him into his own room. This has been the best thing! He is such a noisy sleeper! At first I worried about the transition to a crib but right away he took to it and actually sleeps a ton better than he did in his bassinet so we're all loving the change.

He is a really great sleeper even from day one (ok, I should say day 2 because, as most parents will attest, we did not sleep at all the first night). At about 6 weeks he started sleeping 6-7 hour stretches and continues to do that to this day (WONDERFUL!). Last night he slept 8 (crossing our fingers for the formation of a habit).

Like I said he has always slept great but we struggled with the self soothing part. We've pretty much got that down now. He used to only be able to fall asleep in our arms and we'd have to wait until he was in a deep sleep to put him down in his bed but now we can pretty much put him down when he's drowsy and he'll fall asleep on his own.

We just love this kid and all that he brings to our family already.

I saw this on the door in the pumping room at work and had to laugh cause it's so true :)
