Happy 2 Month Birthday, Baby J!

I can't believe how much our little guy has changed in 1 month! Here are some updates on James.
- He has been sleeping through the night!!! (9 hours last night)
- Smiling and laughing frequently
- Prefers to lay on his back rather than be held or cradled
- Makes noises, mostly this one "Laaaa"
- Finally able to wear 0-3 month-old clothing (but still baggy!)
- Awake a lot more during the day
- Still loves music
- Loves books (Especially the book "I Kissed the Baby" - good read if you're bored!)
- Doesn't cry often at all (just when hungry or needing to have a bm)
- Hair is getting thicker and longer
- Still loves his bath time
- Kicks his legs all day long
- Can hold up head for short periods (tonight he started to lean over and pulled back up)
- LOVES his mobile...there's a duck that cracks him up each time it comes around. It's like he's seeing it for the first time every time!!
- Eats about 4 ounces out of a bottle (when we give him one)

So, I can't believe that I only have 1 more month to spend with James before work. The good news is that I will be returning part-time to work for the remainder of the school year. I'll be a reading teacher in the a.m. only (8-noon, M-F). He will be babysat by my mom and dad on Mondays and Wednesdays and by an awesome parent from my school on the rest of the days. I'll be able to pick him up shortly after noon each day so we won't be far apart long. He's going to a sitter that is only 1 mile from our house! My mom and dad are coming here on their days. Brian and I are starting "dry runs" next week so that we can practice getting ready and getting out the door in time for work. We have a plan in our heads, but want to make sure it works in reality. We go for our 2 month doctor appointment in a couple weeks so I'll have more stats to share on James then. In our eyes he is just pure perfection!
