Maxim is 2 Months!!

"Because there has never been anyone like you, ever in the world.
So enchanted with you were the wind and the rain
that they whispered the sound of your wonderful name."
~On The Night You Were Born~

Maxim is now 2 months old and he continues to amaze us daily. He had his two month well-baby check yesterday. He now weighs in at 11lbs 5 oz and he is 22.5 inches long. He had his first vaccination yesterday and we go back in two weeks for the second needle.

Maxim rolled over last week and he has started charming us with his beautiful smiles too. He can finally wear normal clothes instead of onesies and pyjamas all the time. He can also bear weight on his little legs and he follows us with his head and eyes when we move about the room. He gets really excited when DH comes home from work.

He sleeps anywhere from 5-6 hours at night after going to bed at around 10:30pm. He wakes up to eat and then will sleep another 4-5 hours. He also has a regular nap time in the afternoon between 12:30 and 2pm. Predictable sleep is awesome!

He nurses 6-8 times a day. Maxim eats like a champ and he makes me laugh. When he is hungry and sees the bo.ob, he starts flailing his arms like gym class arm circles, makes a high-pitched noise like "oooo, oooo, oooo" and opens his mouth really wide. He also smiles a lot while nursing which melts my heart. He gets rather impatient during his middle of the night feed because I change his diaper before feeding him. After I latch him on, I always say "See, its quick service around here, you got nothing to complain about!" Maxim takes the bottle really well too which is nice for DH to get a chance to feed him too.

He still has a regular fussy hour in the evening around 8:30 which can be taxing on DH. DH is the super soother and works wonders to calm him down. We're hoping that will improve with time.

Maxim loves walks in the stroller. He also likes the sling which is super helpful for shopping.

Maxim is a very good, happy baby. We are so blessed!
