2 months old already?
October 29th, 2008G is now two months old. Some notable developments have been:
– his first (non-gassy) smile
– more coordinated arm gestures… even swatting and getting at a toy
– his first laugh (well, it was more like a short laughing grunt)
– outgrowing his NB sized clothes and finally fitting into his cloth diapers
– finally enjoying bath-time
– getting down to a single wakeup in the middle of the night, with a few 8-9 hr stretches here and there
Things we are happy are over:
– the constant all-day crying through the 6th week growth spurt
Things we can’t wait to be over:
– the 4:30pm ‘till bed-time crying
I’m still amazed at how quickly these last two months have gone by. I had this flash of fear this morning that I’ll wake tomorrow, in my 50’s attending my son’s college graduation. I say fear, because I feel like the rate of living feels like it has accelerated so much over the last 5 years. I don’t want to miss out on enjoying G growing up. As much as I am thrilled about him outgrowing his tough moments, I love the good parts so much more than I dislike the hard parts.
So how are we honoring the 2 month milestone? By giving G his first immunizations! I am genuinely nervous about this appointment. It could very well be harder for me than for him. Both S and I are going. We’ll let you know how it works out. Wish us luck!
