Jensen is 2 months

My sweet baby boy at 6 weeks

During Jensen's first few weeks home, time seemed to stand still.  While I don't want my baby to grow up too fast, I was also soooo ready to be past the difficult newborn stage.  But now that we've reached the two month milestone, I'm asking myself how we got here so fast!?!  Time seems to be flying by now and before I know it I will be going back to work...well in September anyway. I know it will be here in the blink of an eye.  Stay away September!

Jensen has his two month doctor's appointment tomorrow and I'm so nervous!  I know he is going to freak out when they give him his first round of immunizations.  It's crazy how different a baby's cry is when they are hungry or tired versus when someone pokes a needle in their leg!   I myself am still deathly afraid of needles to this day.  I seriously considered whether I really wanted to get pregnant because of my irrational fear of needles!  But I quickly got over it when I had been caring a baby for 41 weeks.  Who cares about needles anymore, just get this baby out!

And now to the fun stuff.  You may be asking yourself "what has Jensen been up to this month?".  Well, he's really starting to show his personality.  He loves to smile at his favorite people, especially his mom, dad, and Loli (my mom).  He squinches his cheeks up when he does this and his eyes get all squinty, just like mine do when I smile.  He loves to stick his tongue out and make silly faces.  He talks to us in his cute baby voice and even laughs sometimes.  I live for these moments!  He's slept through the night one time so far (7 hours).  Most of the time he sleeps for about 5 hours (until 3am), wakes up to eat, and then goes back to sleep for another 3 hours.  We're ok with this schedule for now, but would love for him to get more 7 hours stretches of sleep soon..!  This boy LOVES to eat!  And you don't want to make him wait for it either, or he makes sure to let you know he's starving.  I'm estimating this, but I believe he weighs close to 15 pounds right now...!  His cheeks are huge and I can't stop kissing on them.  They are my favorite feature on him.  He looks like he's going to be a brown-eyed boy.  His hair still stands straight up in the back and we like it that way!  I've tried to brush it down right after bath time, but when it dries it just pops back up.  Andy calls him his little pineapple head.  This month we are going to start working more on tummy time.  He already has a strong neck and has been holding his head up since birth, but he's not too fond of tummy time, so we're going to keep working at it.  He loves the outdoors, and enjoys our nightly walks around the neighborhood with Syd.  He also loves bath time.  He gets so peaceful when we put him in the bath and makes cute little noises and faces when he's in there.  

I feel like I've really started to bond with him this month and I'm loving our time together at home or running errands.  I've even had time to cook and bake a little lately which has been nice!  

I will load some of his two month photos later this week, so stay tuned for that!
