months
Weight & Length Jackson weighed 12 lbs 14 oz (56%) and was 25 inches
(98%) long! Long and lean- but
still with some super cute rolls!
Clothing size 0-3
months, though he is starting to almost outgrow this size in length in a few
brands!
Hair Jackson’s hair has been growing
back this month, and his cute-as-can-be cowlick is back. His hair seems to be lighter now, maybe
even blonde- who knows what it will end up like! I think we will have to wait a few more months to know for
sure.
Teeth Zero
Sleeping Jackson is sleeping much
better and for much longer stretches.
From 1-2 months, he was sleeping 4-7 hours at night. Around the time he turned 2 months, he
started sleeping 7-8 hours per night, which is amazing, and he is such a happy,
well-rested boy in the mornings. He typically goes to bed now between 7-8 pm,
gets up around 3-4 am to eat, and then back to sleep until 6:30-7:30. We hope this continues, and are working
to find the best bedtime for Jackson given that mommy has to go back to work in
week! L
Eating Jackson continues to love
to eat, and usually eats every 2.5-3 hours during the day.
Movement Jackson loves to kick his legs, and move his arms, and show
us how strong he is, especially when in his bouncer. Today, his pediatrician said he was “stronger than the
average 2 month old.” He also
loves to lay on his activity mat and bats at the dangling toys. He also likes to look in the mirror,
especially during bath time.
Milestones Jackson continues to love to smile. He has also been cooing
a lot which is adorable. We can’t
wait for the first laugh! He hasn’t rolled over yet, but I am guessing he might
learn to do that pretty soon!
Favorite toys/activities Jackson loves his activity mat
and bouncer. After eating he
usually likes to play on the mat and he has been batting at toys and cooing at
them when he plays. He loves it when mom sings songs to him when he is in his
bouncer, especially pat-a-cake and itsy bitsy spider. He enjoys going on walks, and has also really enjoyed infant
massage class with mommy as well as post-natal yoga with mommy.
Dislikes Jackson doesn’t like getting shots, we found that
out at his 2 month visit (poor buddy).
Other than that, he is a pretty happy baby.
Words & sounds He makes lots of adorable sounds,
and recently he has gotten really excited about imitating sounds mommy
makes. It is adorable. He even tries to change the pitch to
his cooing to match the sounds we make.
What we love Cuddling with Jackson and
quiet time when we rock him to sleep.
We love his smiles watching his personality emerge. We love how excited he gets when we sing
to him, and how sweet and cuddly he is with us.
What we don’t love What’s not to love- we adore this little guy! I
guess if we could get rid of the 3:30 am feeding that would be great, but I
have to admit, even though our sleep is interrupted, is is always worth it to
cuddle with him and watch him as he falls asleep again- so precious.
What we’re looking forward to next month We can’t wait for first laughs, and to see him roll
over!
