In case you didn't already see on Facebook and Instagram...James is now 2 months old. Sorry if I am overloading everyone on James pics, but I really can't help it. I am obsessed I tell you, obsessed.
A lot has happened over the past month, developmental-wise. James is smiling, chuckling, squealing, turning his head to follow people or objects, lifting his head while lying down, and saying "Ahhh!" He is a very laid-back baby who only cries when he is extremely hungry or tired, and this is rare. He loves to hold on to your finger, and he is starting to like bath-time more. He is a good eater, and he is waking up once during the night to eat. James loves to be held, cuddled, and swaddled. He sometimes takes a pacifier, but he could take it or leave it. He loves to kick his legs a lot!
He is becoming a little stinker when it comes to tricking me into picking him up/holding him and giving him attention. He likes to fuss/fake cry when he wakes up from his nap early. I will go in his room to give him his pacifier (I am trying to teach him to self-soothe), and he will give me the cutest little smirk. I know that I shouldn't pick him up, but I just can't help myself sometimes.
We had a big day yesterday; we survived our 2 month check-up! I have been anxiously awaiting this check-up for several reasons: we get to see how he is doing growth-wise, I get to ask my poor pediatrician a million questions that I have been keeping track of on a legal pad (this is normal, right?), and I was nervous about the shots. The shots weren't as traumatic as I had expected by-the-way, and James is definitely a trooper. He screamed and cried, and his face turned red.. but as soon as I could pick him up to comfort him, he was fine. He is seriously an easy baby, and for this I am grateful.
James is ready to be weighed and measured
James now weighs 11 pounds (31st percentile), measures 23 inches (57th percentile), and his head circumferences is 16 inches (67th percentile). He is growing perfectly!
Cindy, James's grandmomie and Ryan's mom, was kind and awesome enough to come for a visit and help out. It is always so nice to have her, and she was a huge help!
Waiting for the Dr.
Afterwards, Cindy treated us to lunch out at Farmhaus. They have the best hamburgers. If I wasn't concerned about having a heart attack, I could eat there everyday. It was James's first lunch in a restaurant! He did great, and I think he enjoyed looking around at everything.
Here are a few random pics off of my phone:

I have been trying to see who James looks like, so I have been looking at baby pictures of Ryan and myself. Here are a few pictures of Ryan when he was little:
Such a little cutie
Here he is at ten weeks
Here are some of my baby pictures put next to pictures of James to see if we look alike:
I think James has Ryan's nose and maybe my head shape..? But it's hard to say. So I guess I didn't figure much out. We will just have to wait and see as he gets older.
That's all for now! See ya!
