Liam: Two Months

Likes: Eating, being held, getting played with, naked baby time, tummy time

Dislikes: Getting put in his carseat, rolling over (he pretty much cries whenever he is doing it), getting water on his face (my bad on that one but it made him scream), getting his head oiled down

Biggest Achievement of the Month: Rolling over

Biggest Challenge of the Month: Not going to sleep until late

Sleep: He seems to like sleeping for hubby, but not for me.  When hubby puts him to bed he sleeps normally until 4 or 5 when he wants to eat.  When I do it, he stays up half the night and wants to be fed at 3. And during the day he seems to be awake a lot more, so he isn't sleeping as much but when he does, he can still sleep through anything.  I wonder when he stops being able to do that and we have to be quiet when he sleeps.

Temperament/Personality: He is still very sweet and happy although when he does get upset he can really scream.  He was having some problems with his nightly feeding where he would be just so upset that the boob couldn't soothe him and hubby would have to give him a bottle to get him to calm down but he seems to have stopped that.  Other then that he spends lots of time cooing and smiling, which I love.  He is still very expressive and so fun to watch.

Eating: He eats quite a bit but he has developed a fun habit where in the evening he gets so tired and cranky that I can't get him to latch and then hubby has to give him a bottle.  Other then that he is a great eater.

The Superficial: So this has been a bad month for his skin.  He was still struggling with baby acne, and he got a case of cradle cap which meant I got to oil him down for a couple days to get rid of it (it wasn't a bad case of it though).  Then we noticed that he seemed to be getting a rash, so of course like any normal person I googled and after talking to my sister in laws, thought he might be having an allergic reaction (it was only on his torso and arms though so we knew it wasn't from his clothes because it would have been on his legs too).  Apparently one of the most common things to be allergic to is mom drinking milk.  So I have stopped eating dairy temporarily and the rash disappeared   Its very sad because I love milk but I should be able to slowly reintroduce it into my diet and he will get used to it. 

He is getting bigger and from me weighing him myself he is about 12 lbs. He also is officially out of his newborn clothes and into his 0-3 month clothes, which is fun and sad at the same time, because he is not my tiny little baby anymore.

He has the most beautiful eyelashes and his fingernails seem to always be claws, no matter how much I file them.  He is getting all fat too, he has back rolls, and leg rolls and I have to make sure I get in all of the folds when bathing him.

No Milestones or Baby Gear this month because apparently I forgot to finish writing this post, the chart that I was using for milestones has disappeared and I can't remember what he has done so I kind of suck this time.
