Mr. Jakiah is growing growing! At his 2 month appointment, he was just shy of 11 pounds and was 22 1/2 inches long! Right around the middle of the 'percentile' charts. He is getting more alert and aware of everything around him; he tracks the animals on his mobile, follows people when they walk by him, looks around constantly, and is becoming more interested in the world! He has also started smiling, which is so, so cute!! Just melts a mommy's heart! : )
His schedule is getting a little more regular, on most days. He eats several times throughout the day and wakes every 2-3 hours to nurse at night, sometimes more, sometimes less. He still sleeps best on a person, especially me, so some times it can get tiring, but we've figured out a routine. His best naps are the first ones of the day (usually around 11 or so) and his best nighttime sleep stretch is from around 8 until 2, usually waking at least once to nurse, but sleeps pretty well around that feeding. Luckily, he does tend to go back to sleep really well at night, really quickly, since he sleeps right next to me. Though, we do have some occasions where it's like 4:30 am and he just starts smiling and being all charming and wants to be awake with me (who can resist such cuteness??) but it's not too common.
He is now in 3 month size clothes and they are already getting tight again! Thanks to our good friend Jessica for all the great little boy hand me downs, they're getting plenty of use! He has huge blowouts about once a day, so we go through plenty of clothes : ) He's in size 1 diapers, when he wears his disposables at night. We've started cloth again during the day and I forgot how much money it saves and just how easy it is!
Kalaya is so smittin on her brother! She is constantly hugging and kissing him and wants to know what he's doing all the time. She thinks he's pretty special and so do we!!
