Two months!

Baby Stephen turned two months old on Sunday! We have really enjoyed the last two months. And they have gone by really fast! I have been really lucky to have so much help. My mom has been here the last month and has been really great at helping me with the baby while Stephen is working and at his internship.

Over the past month baby Stephen has started to interact with us more. His vision has improved which means he can now make eye contact with us. He also smiles, coos, and occasionally laughs. Besides eating, sleeping, and pooping; he enjoys laying on his back and watching the animals in his crib mobile circle around as well as looking at himself in the mirror over his changing table. He smiles when we pedal his legs like he is riding a bicycle and loves it when his dad plays with his feet and arms. He has also started sleeping longer stretches at night. He sleeps in his crib at night but will only sleep if he is elf during the day so I spend most of the day cuddling him.

At his 2 month appointment he got 3 shots and an oral vaccine. He did not enjoy that. He was also weird and measured. He now weighs 13 lbs and 12 oz. (88th percentile) and is 24.5 inches long (92nd percentile.).

He has really enjoyed having his grandma here and he also got to meet his uncle and aunt this month! Here are some pictures.
