Clayton just had his 2 month check-up. He is doing great. I had guessed that he weighed at least 12 lbs now... boy was I under estimating. He is now 14.1 lbs (95%) and 24.5 inches long (95%). He is healthy and happy, except when he got his first round of immunizations. Poor guy got 3 shots yesterday and those did bring out the tears.
At home his routine is pretty much the same as last month. He is awake a little more during the day, but I still get a few hours of naptime out of him in the mornings and afternoons. At night he is in bed around 8:30pm til 8am, but getting up about 2 times... usually around 1am and 5am.
Our pediatrician says he is big enough to start sleeping the night through and wants me to work with him on that. We have had two fluke nights where he did sleep for about 8 hours straight. I've loved them, but I may not be working as hard at sleep training as Dr. Sims would like. I just hate the idea of not holding him when he cries.
For activities we have introduced him to the bouncer. He is a little small for it, so we've had to put a book underneath to help his feet reach. His head is also still a little wobbly, so I don't leave him in it for too long... as soon as I notice him bobbling, I figure he is getting tired so he comes out.
The only trouble we've had is he squirms a lot. He wants so badly to be able to move, but all he accomplishes at this point is wiggling into uncomfortable positions in his stroller or crib. The past few mornings I found him in bed with his head up against the bars of the crib because he pushes with his feet trough the night and scotches up until he hits a barrier. I think he'll be a lot happier once he has more control of his movements, but with all his practicing that shouldn't be long.
