It is almost impossible for me to believe... but our little bambino is two months old today!
For anyone who is interested in how my neurotic brain is keeping track of these things... he is actually 9 weeks old as of tomorrow but for the sake of his monthly birthdays, I'm going to stick with the 8th of the calendar month. :)
I really can't believe it. We are so lucky to have this little guy in our lives! He is a blessing that I am thankful for every single day.
At two months, Gray has started to smile quite a bit! He has two parents that absolutely swoon each time we see that little grin spread across his face. It makes our hearts melt!
He has also ceased using crying as his only method of communication. Instead he will "fake cry" when he wants something- which pretty much means he will yell like he is crying but it isn't the same. He grunts and makes a lot of different noises as he is learning to use his voice. In addition to now smiling both while awake and asleep, he still giggles a lot while he slumbers which is quite possibly the most adorable thing in the universe. Each time I see and hear it I can't help but be taken aback by the wave of happiness that goes through my body.
He also likes to kick and flail his arms quite a bit! Good exercise! He holds his head up on his own for quite a bit of time and can turn his head from left to right (and vice versa) on his own. He can hold his head at a 45 degree angle off the floor as well. Such a strong boy! And if he is laying on your chest he will use his legs to push himself into an upright position- a pseudo standing position.
As for sleep? Well, we still have those nights when he is up every two hours. BUT we have had a night or two when he has slept 5 consecutive hours!! Hopefully sleeping through the night is on the way!
I feel like I am truly fortunate to not only have the little guy in my life but to be able to spend this time with him as he is growing and changing every day! We love him to pieces!
Okay, Lady... I've had enough!
