Little Amos is two months old today, and wow is he growing fast! He is packing on the pounds and gulping down the milk. He's been eating about 5 or 6 ounces 6 or 7 times a day. He's over 12 pounds now, and just about to start wearing the number 2 diapers. For the last week or two, he has pretty much only been wearing 3 to 6 month clothes, as the 0 to 3 month ones don't fit anymore (nor do the newborn clothes). He fills them out pretty well now.
His brain is growing too. You can almost see it. He likes to coo and talk now, and often coos and gurgles rather than crying. Of course, if he gets too frustrated or hungry, he'll still cry, but the coos and gurgles now fill out quite a bit of his vocalizing, which is nice. Sometimes I swear he's laughing! He likes to look at lights still, but sometimes will just stare at his toys or other things. He even occasionally bats his Pooh rattle with a fist, and sometimes it looks intentional. He has quite the grip, and yesterday he grabbed hold of Sean's laptop and clicked the trackpad.
Amos can hold his head up very well and often his body, too. We'll sit him on our leg and only have to correct him when he spazes. He's getting super good at balancing, and I only have to support his head when he's tired- otherwise, he does it himself. He likes his swing, but prefers to be held. He's even starting to like snuggling.
You can play with him now too. He likes games like making funny noises or kissing his face randomly, or beeping his nose or chin or forehead, etc. Today he found his mouth with his fist all on his own and was quite content. Sometimes he needs help, and he loves to suck on things still. He's beginning to like chewing on things too. He chews on his puppies (strap buddies) nearly every time he's in his car seat, and likes to chew on his rattle too.
In tummy time he can move his head when he wants, and sometimes supports himself for a little bit if he's placed on his elbows. He can't yet push his upper body up, but likes looking around if placed on his elbows, and will hold himself there for a while before sinking to lie flat. Pretty soon he'll be moving! He hasn't rolled over in a while, nor shown interest in doing so.
He falls asleep on his own, and sometimes will fuss and spontaneously stop. I think he gets distracted by learning something or watching something.
He's just growing up so fast!

Good morning. Hello. The excellent site, has especially liked design. Thanks. Help me! Need information about: Best hair loss treatment for women. I found only this - <a href="http://www.lleidaenergia.cat/Members/Hairloss/top-ten-hair-loss-treatments">top ten hair loss treatments</a>. There are no heavy patients placed to use this hair. The pubertal one is little disease prostate. THX :confused:, Garth from Guinea-Bissau.
