Two Months


I feel silly beginning these postings because I repeat myself so very often. We love to celebrate it all. Zane is filling out fast. He weighs about 11 pounds. In fact, you could call him "Little Chunk" and it means something. :) I have to believe at this point that he's very laid-back but becomes hotheaded fast.

The boy pukes a ton. He'll overeat if you let him. He sometimes gags himself from slouching and his lazy swallowing or from leaning his head too far back. :) Three nights ago he slept for 7 hours straight. And I was able to take advantage of the second half and sleep myself. Wow! -- 4 hours of straight sleep! We're figuring out a routine.

Zane is much more alert these days. He loves to track things and will become so fixated on something that he twists his head as far around as he can and then screams out for you to turn him the rest of the way. He's very busy with his arms and legs. He has a great right hook. He now sometimes sleeps on his tummy and we're okay with that since he has the ability to turn his head and so forth. He's been trying to suck his thumb. He sucks the side of it.

He's grabbing and swinging at toys and learning to love his bouncer, swing and rocker.  He doesn't like the car seat, much in the same way Vanessa didn't. He likes to stay awake so much that he sometimes over stimulates himself, leading to a meltdown. He loves for you to hum a song. And he'll even rock out a bit. Still love to cuddle and doze with him. :)

No more eye crud from his overactive tear duct. Both he and Vanessa had one eye within a couple weeks of birth in which the tear duct opened early and would pour tears constantly, creating buildup in the corner of their eyes. We're finally done with that and now he's beginning to grow eyelashes.

It's fun to watch his personality develop. I can already tell he's a sweet one.

He'll move into his room tonight. :( We'll document it. I know I haven't shared pictures of the nursery yet, so I hope to do that within the next couple of weeks. We still have a few little things to do.
