2 Months!

Milestones

• First social (ie "real") smiles. He likes to smile at Mommy, Daddy, the picture of Jesus in our living room and the animal prints on the wall in his room that his Aunt Michele made.
• Had an adventure to the mountains and visited a real waterfall for the first time. (Bridal Veil Falls)
• Was Blessed at church!! (He looked rather dashing in his little white getup.)
• Is tracking items and people with his eyes more, is more aware.
• Lost all his hair on top of his head and grew it back, which has caused a lot of envy among the bald men of the world. He is now sporting a soft brown fuzz.
• Grew out of newborn diapers and and most of his newborn clothes. He's practically all grown up, sniff.
• Proved how cultured he is becoming by visiting his first art museum with Mom, Grandma, Aunt Michele, Uncle Dan and Princess C. It still counts even though he slept through the whole thing, right?
• Stats from his 2 month appointment:
• Length - 20.75 inches (.19 percentile)
• Weight - 10 lbs 12 oz (15.74 percentile)
• Head Circumference - 15 inches (19.54 percentile)
• So in other words, he is still a little guy for his age.

Likes

• Bath Time!
• Tummy time, as long as it doesn't go too long.
• The swing Aunt Michele let us borrow. 
• Being Outside.
• Hanging out on his play mat. (Thanks to the Mechams for getting that for us!!)

Dislikes

• The end of bath time.
• When mommy eats chocolate or spicy food. It took some trial and error, but we figured out some of the stuff that I was eating that was making him fussy. And I thought I was done giving up food I like with the end of pregnancy, silly me.
• Hiccups. They. Are. The. Worst.

A Few Tidbits

• We had a little visit to the audiologist this month. Baby boy didn't pass his hearing test in his left ear at the hospital. We had his hearing tested with a more intense test which included electrodes on my little baby's head. Don't worry he slept through the whole thing. Anyway, we found out he has mild hearing loss in his left ear, but the good news is that it is just temporary. They found it isn't from nerve damage (which is permanent), but is caused by fluid behind his eardrum, which should go away eventually.
•  Favorite music: Along with the blues from last month, the random songs his mommy and daddy make up and sing to him for fun.
• He got to meet his Southern Grandparents this month, which was very exciting!
