Two Month Old Rowly

I've been told with each kid, they seem to grow up faster than the one before.  Rowly has proven that to be true.  I don't know where these two months have gone, but they have GONE, and he has GROWN.  He's still my little baby, but he's getting chubbier.  We even got a third roll on the leg finally going!

He is 23 inches long - 31st percentile, 11lbs. 10 oz - 29th percentile, and his head circumference is 15 inches - 5th percentile.  Still just a little guy. :) 

He has remained true to being a very good baby.  My commitment to his routine has wavered though due to having two other children to take care of.  His sleeping through the night has suffered because of that - which has resulted in MY loss of sleep as well.  THAT and him catching yet another cold, poor thing.  He still stays sweet and happy throughout having a stuffy nose and icky cough though.  

Just before his six weeks mark, he decided to start showing us his gorgeous smile.  That seems to make all the sleepless nights before worth it.  Now, he's working on laughing.  He wants to so bad.  He gets quite amused at things - especially his Daddy.  Something about Daddies. :)

He does NOT like a wet or messy diaper.  He prefers being involved with everyone.  It's taken a bit of practice for him to be taking his naps in his crib without anyone else in the room.  He always feels like he's missing out on something.  A lot of times in the evenings when I'm making dinner, I just prop his bouncer up on the counter by me so he can be entertained.  We're all happier that way.  He LOVES having the vibrating massage button on his bouncer too - he will just go right to sleep with it that way.  

Rowland has got a STRONG neck.  Right before his 8 week mark, he started holding his head up like this:

Growing like crazy!  His baldy head is starting to fill in with some more hair now, and his eyes are looking darker.  I'm holding out for brown, but I'm pretty certain he won't be getting the blue eyes like his brother and sister.

I must kiss him like crazy, because he is too sweet and adorable not to.  He has the funniest facial expressions and is always carefully observing his surroundings.  

His general schedule is as follows: 
7ish wake up, eat, tummy time, starts getting fussy and wrapped up for bed again.
8:30ish sleep
10:30ish wake up and eat, watch his brother and sister play, make plans for playing with them in the future, get fussy and wrapped up for more sleep.
Noonish sleep
1:30 wake up and eat, hang out with mom while the other two go down for naps
3ish sleep (maybe mom gets a nap in??)
4:30-5ish wake up and eat, watch mom make dinner, more tummy time, 
6:30ish sleep
8ish wake up and eat, hang out with mom and dad after the other two go to bed.
10:30 eat - go to bed.
Mom crosses fingers for 6 hours - usually gets 4, maybe 5 before a  middle of the night feeding.  

HOWEVER two nights in a row he went from 11 till 7!!!  It was beautiful and we're hoping to create that habit MUCH more often. :)
