2 months

When Jacob was born and turned 1 month I didn't really have time to blog about specifics, but no worries I wrote down things like weight and length elsewhere for future reference.  Now I do have *some* time to write about his 2 month goings-on.
He is currently weighing in at 13 lbs. 10oz.  Yes, I am raising a prize fighter or sumo wrestler or something....
He's still rocking the blue eyes, and I'd say little brown, sandy blonde hair...but we'll see where those things end up. He is measuring 23 1/2 inches, and man can I ever tell he has gotten longer!  I have fairly short arms so trying to hold him football style while nursing out in public (w/o the boppy) has become slightly challenging.  I find myself asking Jeremy to lift Jacob's bottom and push it into my elbow space, so I can get a better grip....lol. I'm sure people think I'm nuts but whatever.  Another way I can tell he's beyond long is he no longer *really* fits in footie pjs for 0-3 months...just b/c the legs aren't long enough, ever other part fits.  He's still currently squeezing into a few of them but mostly sleeps in sleep sacks (LOVE THEM!) or pjs that just snap with cuffs at the ankles...I *almost* refuse to put him in 3-6 month footie pjs...my baby can't be that big yet!!!!
He is one happy and healthy little guy.  He is currently "talking" otherwise known as gurgling at me from where he's laying next to me on the couch.  Oh which is another reason I know he's so long...with his butt touching the back of the couch, legs and feet on the back, his head almost reaches the edge...*continues to watch him as he keeps pushing with his feet, so he doesn't launch himself head first into the floor.* He is becoming so much fun, I mean I loved him before, but now he smiles in the morning when I lean over the bassinet to pick him up and when I hold him up on my shoulder he can keep his head up and puts his arm around my neck...makes it MUCH easier to dance with my new guy. ;-)
Well, time's up...the "talking" has turned to crying and eating of the hand...*food time again*
