The Bergendorf 's: 2 Months

2 Months!!!

Jacob is 2 Months old! At his 2 month appointment he weighed 12 lbs 7 ounces (75th percentile). His height actually went down... to 23 inches (50th percentile). (Last month it was 23 3/4") Ya.... Not the most accurate method used.... 2 month appointment meant Jacob's first round of vaccinations. :( It was so sad! I was glad Scott went with me so I wouldn't have to be involved. He was laying there on that table fairly calm then when they poked his little legs his face immediately scrunched up in shock and turned beat red! Then the crying started. Not the, I'm crying so that you'll give me attention, but the real deal. Tears, sobs and all. :( That was the first time he's ever had tears when he cried. The next couple days he was a little more fussy then usual but we tried to keep the infant Tylenol in him.

Jacob has grown and developed a ton this past month! I can't believe how fast he changes. He now is very aware of your presence and looks at you and smiles at you all the time! He has discovered that he has a say in things and he lets you know it! One of those things he has a say in is nursing. Although I don't think he HATES nursing, he has decided that he would rather take a bottle to nursing. I think he likes the consistent flow of the milk. So we have stopped using the bottle. It took him a few days before he'd nurse without throwing a huge fit, but now that he realizes this is how it is he has decided nursing isn't the worst thing. I'll try reintroducing the bottle every month or so to see if he'll be ok with both. But until he is, or if he ever decides to be, we are sticking to exclusive nursing. Jacob also likes being able to see his surroundings. If he is awake he wants to be sitting up so he can see everything! I love that he can express his emotions more. He has discovered his voice and his tongue and it's so fun to just sit and talk to him and have him talk back to me. The best is when he's been entertaining himself for awhile and when you walk into his view and he sees you a huge smile breaks out on his face! I often just like watching him as he entertains himself. He talks to himself and smiles and plays with his tongue and it's just so fun!

Some of Jacobs dislikes this month are:

Tummy Time (still)
Laying down if he is awake

Wet or Poopy diapers

Naps

Some of the things Jacob likes are:

Getting his diaper changed
Bath time (don't know if he really LIKES baths but he doesn't scream at the top of his lungs anymore when we bathe him)
Bottles
His Aunt Clarissa :) (Looks like my blog got hacked :)

At the beginning of the month Jacob was sleeping around 3-4 hours at night. During the month we discovered that Jacob could put himself to sleep! A very very exciting discovery for me! I now feed him and put him to bed at 9. He falls asleep sometime between 9 and 10. then sleeps for 5 hours then another 3 to 4 after that. Getting up sometime between 7 and 8 am. I think it's a pretty good schedule. Can't complain to much with it. He did have a few nights where he slept between 6-8 hours at a time. But those nights are usually the days that we kept him really busy.

So pretty much we just love that kid a lot and a lot. He's a keeper for sure! :)
