Two Months

Jay is two months old today! The month started out calm and relaxed and ended with a crazy week of Thanksgiving festivities and moving into our new condo!

Jay is doing very well. He eats like a champ and never says no to food. His cheeks have become wonderfully pudgy. We get many smiles and laughs throughout the day. In the past couple of weeks, his playtime has increased a lot. Before he used to play only five or ten minutes and then get tired and want to be held. Now he will play for almost 20-30 minutes on his playmat, bouncy chair, or just on the floor. He's very strong and is mostly able to hold his head up and loves to kick his legs. Blankets come flying off unless they are tightly tucked in and we have to watch him carefully when bathing. He likes to push against the sink to try and launch himself across the room!

We are still having some sleep issues: he's not a fan of napping. He needs to learn a few self-soothing techniques to help him fall asleep and stay sleeping. He enjoys napping while being held but we are putting him in his crib more often and he is not loving it. Another area with room for improvement is bottle feeding. I am going back to work in a month and so Jay needs to get used to taking a bottle. Much more practice is needed by everyone!

Jay took his first trip to MA for Thanksgiving with friends and for an engagement party. He had a great time. He was very well behaved and enjoyed seeing more people than he ever has before. He was wiped out each night and slept for a full five hour stretch which is the most ever!

Last night was our first night in the new condo. It was also the first night without grandma! Let's just say that things will run smoother once we are more unpacked and settled in with a new routine.

Looking forward to enjoying next month to the fullest. I will be heading back to work full-time at the end of it!
