Nine weeks old

Look at this two month old cutie!

Calvin is settling into being a pretty content baby.  He has a few demands though:  feed him the minute he wakes up, don't make him sit in a wet diaper for longer than 34 seconds, and put him to bed early (7:30 is preferred).

We've been outside a lot this week and it seems he really likes it. He's not too keen on the stroller yet, but loves the Moby.  We went for a long walk on Sunday with him in the Moby, but had to take him out towards the end.  We were both way too sweaty.  I didn't realize it was 80 degrees out or I would have dressed him in just a onesie.

He got his first round of shots this week and he was in rough shape.  He slept nearly all day and screamed when he was awake.  Eating didn't even calm him down!  We ended up giving him some Tylenol and icing his legs a little and that seemed to help.   Everything looked good at the doctor.  She said his neck still feels a little tight and he wouldn't move it to the left for her either. She said to keep doing what we are doing, but if it gets any worse call and she will get us a referral for physical therapy.  He still looks both ways when on his belly, which is a really good sign.

We had a couple of rough nights transitioning Calvin off the boppy lounger at night time and nap time, but he isn't sleeping on it at night now!  He still does for some naps, but that doesn't make me as nervous since we are frequently checking on him.  The first night without it, he did ok.  It took us over an hour to get him to bed, but he did better during night time wakings and went back down without it.  The next night went so poorly we gave him the pillow back, but the past three nights he's been sleeping as well as he did on it.  It takes a bit longer for him to get asleep initially at night without the pillow, but he's doing it!  One of us usually ends up sitting on the floor with our hand on his belly for a little while before he will stay asleep.  It always backfires laying him down completely asleep as he wakes up screaming about 15 minutes later.  He prefers to fall asleep in his bed or at least wake a bit as we lay him down and then go back to sleep.

No pillow!

The zoo sure is scary

Waiting for the doctor

Oopss!
