James at 2 months

Sleeping

We as parents and James himself still struggle with daytime naps. We probably don't work hard enough scheduling naps and are just going with the flow, which leads to a range of nap times and nap lengths. Night times are a bit more scheduled and James is pretty great at going to sleep at 7. He wakes up at various times throughout the night but is generally pretty good at getting back to sleep.

Appearance

His hair is beginning to grow a bit more on the top of his head, with a slight baby mullet. It looks blond in some light and rather reddish in other lights. His baby acne cleared up after one week and he no longer has the dry skin problem on his head. A few days before he turned two months he weighed 10 pounds and 2 ounces.

Eating

He is still a great eater and usually eats every 2.5 to 3 hours during the day and twice in the night. He gets a bottle of formula at night or if his grandma is babysitting him during the day and if I haven't managed to pump enough.

Clothing

James is now in 0-3month sized clothes, with some 3-6 month sleepers and the odd pair of (rather large) newborn trousers. We are now able to have a little more fun when dressing him.

Personality

James is starting to develop his own personality. He has started to laugh and smile a lot more and has recently progressed from smiling with a big wide grin to making cooing noises and a high pitch squeal. When he is not hungry, tired or has a dirty nappy he is a very content little boy who likes nothing more than having people talk to him. James also likes nothing more than having his evening bath. He is very energetic in the water and enjoys kicking and splashing around with a big smile on his face.
