Blake- 2 Month Update

In the last 2 weeks we have seen some major changes in our Blakey. He seems to have changed from a sleepy newborn to a more alert baby. As far as appearances goes, everyone seems to think he think looks like his daddy and we agree! He has also gotten alot bigger- at his 2 month check up he weighed 11 lbs, 8 ozs ( 50th percentile) and was 23.5 inches tall (70th percentile). Interestingly, he weighs exactly what Bailey did at her 4 month checkup. Sadly this means that he is outgrowing all the sweet, little 0-3 month old clothing.

Developmentally, he has started tracking things, and even smiles and coos now. Blake continues to go longer and longer periods of time without being held during the day and just recently learned that if he kicks in the bouncy chair the animals move. The best part of this is that it can provide up to 15 minutes of entertainment so mommy can get stuff done. He also continues to sleep longer and longer stretches at night. Most nights he sleeps from 10:30ish to 7:00ish, nurses then goes back to sleep until 11:30ish. Here are two recent pictures.
