Two Months Old

(Special Mother's Day Edition)

Alex weighs just over 11 lbs now and is becoming more aware of his surroundings every day. He's learned how to make deliberate eye contact, and smiles often when he's being talked to or smiled at. He's a big fan of getting massages and is very calm during diaper and clothes changes because he likes the sensation of hands and fabric moving over his body. Thanks to a slight change in our sleeping arrangements, he's also doing very well at sleeping longer during the nights. A few nights ago, he slept almost a whole 6 hours!

Happy Mother's Day to his grandmas and great-grandmas, too!

Sleeping, with a fistful of Matt's chest hair in his little hand. Ouch.

There's that smile!

Poor lil' guy still doesn't have much in the way of eyebrows.

Alex has almost outgrown his bassinet already.
