2 months old!

That's right, today Ethan is 2 months old (already). It has gone by so quickly and he is seriously growing like a weed. He doesn't have his next doctor's appointment until next week so I can't give you his current stats, but it seems to me that he's huge.

Some of Ethan's favorite things right now include his pacifier, which he is borderline addicted to. He needs it every day, especially in the evening, and sometimes when you give it to him he'll grab your hand and gets this look on his face like"Oh yeah, that's the stuff, give it to me NOW." But that said, the blessed pacifier does make our life a little quieter and enables us to get through dinner and trips to Target. Ethan also loves to hang out on his tummy in the morning, to swing, to sleep in restaurants, and to kick his legs. He's also infatuated with his tongue lately and still loves his hands.

His smiles are consistent now and you can usually catch one if you talk to him in a high-pitched voice or smile at him. He also likes it when you tickle his feet or play with his cheeks and nose. The smiles also tend to come in a sort of coy way after he's done something not so good like fuss loudly for attention (or after he escapes from his swaddle blanket). He should be giggling soon so we're looking forward to that (we may have heard a couple already). He still giggles and smiles in his sleep though, which is adorable and hilarious.

Oh, and the little monkey is starting to sleep through the night, meaning about 6-7 hours. We of course LOVE this, but it also means he doesn't go back to sleep very well after that long stretch. He'll probably be moving into his own room soon, which for some reason makes me very sad. For being so laid back about almost everything else, this is sure bothering me a lot. It's just more of that I-can't-believe-how-fast-he's-growing-up mom thing I do.

Speaking of, I'll be taking his 2 month pictures today and will post them soon. Hopefully he'll give me some great smiles. Stay tuned...
