Wow, it feels like I just got done writing the 1 month post and here you are already 2 months +. Already, you may be suffering from the photographic neglect that is bound to happen to the second or later born child. Not too many pictures to share from the last month.
In the past few weeks you have further perfected your cutie-petutie skills, cooing and smiling more and more each day. Sometimes you smile after waking when you first see my face -very gratifying, thank you; sometimes, midway through nursing, you're welcome; sometimes after hearing mine or daddy's voice.
We can't talk about how you are doing without talking about poop. The quality of baby poop is pretty much what all baby welfare is measured against. Your poop is still pretty yellow and pretty liquidy. It's not uncommon for baby poop to look like yellow diarrhea for breast-fed babies but I think you take the trophy in this department. I'll have to bring this up at your 2-month well-baby check up.
I no longer have time for errands, exercise or house work as I've spent most of your second month scratching your head. It looks like, not only do you have dry eczema prone skin (thank you again daddy's genes), but you have cradle cap as well. Although I have already only been bathing you with Cetaphyl cleanser for sensitive skin and using Cetaphyl lotion for dry skin on you, this cradle cap problem which extends down into your forehead, has prompted me to buy a rash (no pun intended) of expensive french baby products (Mustela) in an attempt to beautify your skin. I don't think they are working all that well, but I hope you might appreciate the effort when you are older. I only say this because my parents never even bought me a toothbrush until my first dentist appointment when I was nine and half my teeth were rotted out. I didn't even know such a thing as lotion existed until I was in college I think.
Anyway, you continue eating heartily and with less spit up, I think. Pooping, we've talked about. And sleeping, sleeping still goes well with usually one feeding during the night aroundish 3:30am. You are now sleeping in your moses basket on the rocker (mental note, must take a picture of you sleeping angelically in the there). In about two weeks you will be starting school. I'm not looking forward to this time at all but I know you will be the smartest little baby in your class.
