2 months

Wyatt has started smiling! There aren't many things better than seeing him look right at you and give you a big, happy, toothless smile. 

He seems to be growing so fast. At his 2 month check up last week, he weighed 12 lbs 3 ounces and was 23 inches tall! Jack had the EXACT same measurements at his 2 month check up only Jack was technically 9 weeks old and Wyatt was only 7 weeks, 4 days old at the time.  Wyatt's been sleeping pretty well at night and manages to have one 5 hour stretch most nights.  During the day, he's been pretty easy and only cries if he's hungry. But for the past couple of weeks, between 8 and 11 at night, he's been incredibly fussy. When he's crying during this time, the only thing that calms him down is if we stand up and rock him. Nursing him, giving him a pacifier, changing his diaper, or cuddling don't work. I know it's just a phase and it will pass, but it's pretty trying and not fun to see him so upset. The doctor said that between 6 and 12 weeks it's normal for babies to have some form of colic and she would consider Wyatt's case pretty mild. I am just happy that once 11 o'clock rolls around, he finally nurses and then sleeps and this doesn't go on for all hours of the night.
He's been a real cuddler too...he only likes the swing if he's going to sleep which is so different than Jack. Jack was perfectly happy just hanging out, swinging away. Wyatt would much prefer being held, which I really can't complain about. :)
