Nicholas is officially two months old today! It seems like so long ago that we were walking down to labor and delivery at Brookwood.
So many things have changed over this past month. He is actually smiling in response to us and not just because he was dreaming or had gas. We still don't know what in the world he is smiling about sometimes, but it doesn't matter because that smile is so sweet! He has recently started sticking out his tongue at us. There is no rhyme or reason for this but I'm assuming it's rather normal.
His neck muscles are getting stronger and stronger. Although I still call him a bobble head at times, he is definitely working on control and I know will have this mastered by 3 months. Nicholas also recently discovered his feet after daddy put some socks on him (which we have never done) and he couldn't stop lifting his feet up.
When stretched out, this little guy takes up most of the crib!
Nicholas doesn't have a real schedule yet, but is in the process of creating one. We normally put him down for the night between 9:30 and 10:30. He will wake up for his first feeding around 1-2am and then his next feeding around 5. He is very good at sleeping in between those feedings and for the most part will go back down rather quickly. We are still putting him on his stomach, which seems to be the preferred position. Nicholas is a morning person because most every morning we will kick back in the recliner and he will smile and talk to me for awhile. This will also normally happen in the early afternoon.
He easily fits into the three month old onesies and I can see him moving up to the 6 month clothes before too long. He is still wearing size 1 diapers but also fits into the size 2s. God bless Brad and Beth for throwing us the diaper shower and to everyone who bought us diapers or wipes! This boy can go through them in a hurry!
According to the pediatrician, Nicholas is "thriving," so we hope he continues on that path...
