Simon is two months

We can't imagine life without this little guy. He continues to be a very mellow baby and for that we are thankful! He has had not evening fussy times which we are VERY VERY thankful for. He has started smiling and it just warms our hearts. He smiles the biggest for Joy.

Who he looks like:  Well a few people have told me that he looks like Brad...but if they know my dad they think that Simon looks like him (it helps that Simon has squinty Condie eyes and a bald head like my dad). Simon does have a Christensen nose but overall I think he looks like my side of the family. So far his hair looks to be brown and his eyes..well they are still gray. Some days they look a bit blue and other days they look a bit brown. Joy's eyes were already blue by this stage so we will see.

 

What Simon is doing:
-sleeping
-eating
-pooping
-awake for 1-2 hours or so each sleep, eat, wake cycle
-generally being VERY cute

Eats: He is a great nurser and nurses every two-three hours, stretching to 6-7 in the night.

Sleeps:
Night: Simon still likes to be swaddled and goes to bed between 7:30-8:30. He will give me a 6-7 hour stretch and then wants to eat every 2-3 hours waking up for the day between 7-8am.

Naps: He takes roughly 4 naps a day. He loves to sleep on his tummy, which we let him do during the day (and check on him a lot). He prefers to nap in his bed and will sleep the longest there. He gets about two of his naps in his bed and two in the carrier.  He has started to be more sensitive to sounds (Rudy has woken him up a few times) and will wake up being transferred from the car seat to the carrier. He will still nap in the carrier so that is great.

Weighs: 11 lbs 1oz
22.5 inches long 

Likes: eating, being held, smiling at us, taking naps on his tummy

Dislikes: when Rudy barks really LOUDLY.

Favorite event: Having daddy home for a whole week during October break. Also getting his American passport...he can now travel!
