Owen: Two months

Owen Micah is growing a mile a minute. The biggest change this month is that he's smiling and cooing which is so much fun. I especially love seeing him smile and coo with Willow - melts this momma's heart! She's so very sweet around him - calling him "little buddy." He's getting stronger and stronger each day. He has more head control now and will put weight on his legs, especially when being burped. He does really well during his baths, but hasn't liked being dried off the last few times. He does well in the car as well, but hasn't fallen asleep in his carseat since coming home Memorial Day weekend, which used to be a guaranteed way to get him to sleep. He's doing really well at night, giving us a 6 or 6 1/2 hour stretch at night. Due to his weight gain during his first 6 weeks, the doctor has recommended we stretch him beyond every 3 hours during the day. He's lasting between 3 1/2 to 4 hours most of the time. Thankfully he goes to sleep easier at night these days since the evenings used to be his fussiest time. The past few nights I've been able to feed him at 8pm and lay him down without him needing help to fall asleep =)  He's been a little harder to put to sleep (and stay asleep) during the day and sleeps the best when held or in the Ergo carrier. For now we'll try and find a balance between getting him to sleep in his crib/pack-n-play and getting some cuddle time in. =)

Here are his stats from his 2 month appointment (technically 10 weeks at the time of the apt):
Height: 24.5 inches (95%ile)
Weight: 14 lb 7oz (85%ile)
Head Circum: 16.375 in (95%ile)
