Baby Evan: 2 months old



Evan is now 2 months old, its amazing how fast time passes! It feels like just yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital. He is so sweet and so smart. He is a very active baby and loves to kick, sit, stand and jump. He loves to look at shiny and bright things and stares at himself in the mirror when he takes baths. He is also very interactive and loves to smile at and talk to mommy and daddy. He has started sucking on his fists and sometimes sucks his thumb, although he usually prefers his pacifier. He also likes to stick out his tongue and blow bubbles. He is the sweetest little guy and we just love our wee babe so much!

He had his 2 months appointment and he is very healthy and growing well. Here are his stats:
Weight: 11lb 15.5oz (50th percentile)
Height: 23.5 inches (50th percentile)
Head Circumference: 15.75 (50th percentile)
He had 3 shots and was very brave, he was sad and cried for a while but was quickly back to his usual self after having a little cuddle with his mama.

Some fun things that have happened recently with Evan:
- The other night I went upstairs to check on Evan. It was too dark to take a picture but I found him with his binky pushed to one side of his mouth and his thumb stuck in the other side of his mouth. What a little addict!
- Evan often smiles in his sleep and sometimes sounds like he is laughing. One night when I put him back to sleep after a mid-night feeding he distinctly giggled and sighed three times as he drifted back into happy milk dreams.
- I was changing Evan's diaper when he started fussing and squirming like something was making him very uncomfortable. I looked up to find him looking very distressed and with an iron-grip on his own hair. Poor babe!

I loved catching up on your blog. Evan is a cutie, and I can tell that you and John are completely smitten with him :).

PS. Random question, are you still taking all your pictures with John's phone?? If so, get to the store and buy a new camera to take pics of your baby before it is too late and you regret it. Sorry, that was just the crazy photography person in me :).
