Our little guy is continuing to grow and starting to fill out to no longer look like a fragile baby. At his two month check up he weighed in at 9 pounds exactly and measured 21 & 3/4 inches long. He continues to have fits of colic here and there, but otherwise is doing really well. We have to go back to the pediatrician in a month for a weight check. Dr. Perl did not want to wait 2 months to see Owen back just to play it safe.
Owen is becoming more alert and is taking in his environment. He smiles at everyone and is even starting to laugh. His laugh is pretty much him opening his mouth really wide and usually just one little sound comes out or he does a huge smile and sticks out his tongue as he shy away. Owen will mimic sticking his tongue out when you do it at him. He holds his head up nice and high. Owen continues to not like to be put down very often so tummy time is not going so well. He is still a huge eater and eats every 2 to 3 hours all day long. At night we are having some luck in the cradle, but he typically ends up being held most of the night after he does about 2 to 3 hours in the beginning of the night in his cradle.
We are still trying to establish a day to day routine for the whole family, but it is slowly making some progress. It definitely helps routine with the holidays all over with and we are not running around as much. Typically I run out during the day for at least an hour for Ethan to take a nap and Owen will sleep too. It is my only quiet time during the day it seems and Ethan just refuses to lay down in his room to take a nap which usually results in a melt down if I do not take a drive.
