Jack at Two Months, or What Happened to My Neck?

Jack weighed 10 pounds, 12 ounces at 8 weeks. He's now 9 1/2 weeks and getting pudgier by the day. He is by far the earliest mover I have had, and started flipping from tummy to back at 7 weeks. He can scooch forward and pivot on his belly too.

Here he is, showing off his cute pudge. He loves a bath. He has always loved his bath, since I skipped the sponge-bath thing when he was a newborn and went straight to the tub with him. (Don't tell anyone.)

All clean and happy!

We've had a few magic nights where he has slept almost 7 hours straight, but it's usually only 5 or 6.

He's a social guy. When being held, he prefers looking out toward the room rather than checking out a shoulder seam. He's smiling a lot more now, and smiles when I make silly faces at him. (Did I mention his great sense of humor?) He coos when he's extremely happy. It's the sweetest sound, eliciting the most embarrassing baby talk from anyone.
Here he is, doing his push-ups. He's getting pretty strong, and sometimes likes to stiffen his legs and stand when I'm holding him.
Here's the 2-month picture, taken on the right day!

I had no idea a baby bottom was so multi-functional.

Loved the update, Joyce. I can't wait to meet him, but I am sure he will change so much by the time that happens. Hope he has been a wonderful addition to the family and you feel normal again...but what you knew is normal is no longer normal...so, hope this new stage has been fun for you.
