Two Months Old!

On April Fool's Day, little Henry turned 2 months old. Its amazing to realize that much time has gone by already, but is also very obvious in how much he has grown. Henry is now up to 8lbs 4oz which is quite a difference from the 4lbs 15oz he was born at. His skinny little legs are finally starting to get the typical 'baby chub' look and his cheeks are starting to fill out.

From head to toe, here's what Henry likes about month 2:

- I'm starting to grow back my hair on the top of my head, it's still coming in dark brown and it looks like I might have a widow's peak like my grandpa George.
- My eyesight is getting better and the toys that dangle above me are becoming more interesting to watch.
- I just started smiling at people, but you have to catch me in the right mood. Otherwise I'm pretty good at wrinkling my forehead and have perfected my 'concerned' look.
- I love to blow spit bubbles and mom started keeping me in bibs to catch all my drool.
- I'm not 'cooing' yet, but I do like to grunt.
- My neck is getting stronger everyday, I like to push back from mommy or daddy's shoulder so I can look up at them. And when I'm on my tummy, I can pick up my head long enough to move it to the other side.
- My hands have to be free, I won't put up with them being covered by blankets. I'm very expressive with my long fingers and I've overheard mom tease me about them looking like "jazz hands".
- My tummy is finally getting to be round, I eat very well and sleep at least 3-4 hours between feedings (most nights), which I can tell mommy really appreciates.
- I love to swing and mommy loves to get things done while I swing.
- I also love to lay on my back and kick my legs, I've been thinking about rolling over, but I always get caught up on that one arm!
