2 months

Johnathan has reached the 2 month mark already!  And what a handsome, happy baby he is.  He had his 2 month well check at the doctor this week, and he is lookin' good!  He weighed in at 12 lb. 2 oz. (60%ile) and is now 22 in. (25%ile) with his head in the 50%ile.  Compare that with Will at 2 months: 10 lb. 5 oz. and 20.5 in.; and then Matt at 2 months: 13 lb. 10 oz. and 23 in.  They are ALL different.  Johnathan seems to have landed himself in the middle of his brothers size wise--so far.  The rest of his appointment went well, and he got 3 shots at the end.  Boo.  That made him a fussy man for a day or two and threw off his sleep schedule for a couple days.  His brothers were thrilled to get to show off their baby brother to the doctor.  They really enjoyed getting to watch Dr. Brown check him over.

If ever I leave Johnathan unattended, this is how I find him.  With Will crouched over him or next to him smelling him.  It's the funniest thing.  Will will also bring him toys or line up his cars around him.  He is right next to me in every move I make to help take care of Johnathan.  He truly loves his brother.

What's he doing these days?  Well, he has become super smiley---he smiles with his whole face---one of those huge, open mouthed I'm going to eat you type of faces.  It's adorable.  He makes these sweet little coo noises when he is happy and content and kicking his little legs around on the floor.  He holds his head up really well, and I can now carry him around in the Baby Bjorn which is awesome.  He is enjoying his playmat more and more; he looks like he's riding a stationary bicycle he gets those legs and arms moving so fast.  He continues to eat like a champ, and I am so thankful.  I can't stop eating either.

He does enjoy the swing.  There's a little mirror up above, and he stares and smiles at himself until he is lulled to sleep.  Speaking of sleep, he's doing really great at night as of late.  Over the past 2 weeks he's started sleeping for longer and longer stretches at night.  Last night he slept from 8:15 to 5:30.  That's over 9 hours, people!  I actually feel rested today.  He's doing a great job.  He's really trying to get those hands in his mouth, and I feel that inevitably he will find his thumb.  It seems to only be a matter of time.

And, this is how he naps quite frequently during the day: on the go.  Life does not slow down with two busy bigger brothers.  Little John catches naps in his seat alongside the pool or in the Bjorn at the grocery store or in his seat at the gym.  He has no choice but to be flexible!  And I'm so grateful that he is.  He's the sweetest, and we are enjoying every minute!
