Growing rapidly

Today was Ike's well child check. He weighs in at 12 lbs 7 oz which is in the 75%. His height is 23inches and that is ranked 50th%. The doc gave him a healthy status. At 2 months he is smiling, pushing up on his hands when on his belly, rolls over (belly to back), tries to talk and at times noise comes out. His sleep schedule....AWESOME!! I'm going to brag here....at night he goes 7-8 hours between feedings. He has schedule his own bedtime to be between 9 and 10. And to get him to sleep, you lay him down, snuggle the blanket around him (he is too big to be swaddled now) and turn out the lights. He refuses to let you rock him to sleep. He is really an awesome baby.

My favorite part...his early morning feeding (4am) he is full of amazing smiles. I don't talk to him since I don't want him to think he can stay awake, but any time I just look at him he tries to talk to me or gives the biggest smiles. Maybe he likes the quiet one on one time with his mom!!!

bo was sleeping 8+ hours by this age as well. and he still doesn't liked to be rocked or snuggled to sleep. I loved that he would fall asleep on his own.
