Peter 2 months

Sleep: He sleeps 4-6 hours straight at night in a bedside co-sleeper. After that I nurse him in bed around 3 a.m. and he sleeps with me til 6-7 when he eats again. During the day he sleeps in 2-3 hour chunks and then is up for 1-2 hours. He still sleeps about 18 hours in a 24 hour period I would guess.

Eating: He eats every 3 hours like a clock (except at night). He only nurses a total of 10-20 minutes usually which is weird for me since Benjamin would eat 1.5 hours til I stopped him!

Personality: Very easy-going and peaceful. He's patient with Benjamin and puts up with most things he does to him.

Likes and dislikes: He likes when the car is going and cries when it stops. He likes when we sing to him and cluck our tongue. He does not like to be held when he's tired (usually). He LOVES his swing that Aunt Kathy got him and stares up at the mirror on it until he dozes off. He takes his naps in there or in his rock and play. He tries to grab at things but isn't quite there yet. He has started sucking on his thumb.

Development: He holds his head up, follows noises and people with his head, and looks back and forth between people. He imitates cooing (when he's in the mood) and has clucked his tongue in response a couple of times. He smiles often and will laugh sometimes.

Size: When I weighed him a couple of days ago he was 15 1/2 pounds! He has been off the charts for weight the majority of his life. He is currently wearing 9 month pajamas, but most of his clothes are 6 months. I just moved him up to size 3 diapers because he was leaking out of his size 2 almost every time. Size 3 works great. I'm pretty sure Benjamin was a size 3 (maybe 4?) when he potty trained and Peter is in the same size at only 2 months old! He is even bigger than Benjamin was as a baby which I didn't think was possible.

Peter has stayed with Charity while I went visiting teaching, Grandma Melinda also for visiting teaching and Grandma Kara for our anniversary. I'm surprisingly not that nervous to leave him. Maybe because he's such an easy, predictable baby. He draws crowds everywhere we go. I forgot what it's like to be the escort of a celebrity.
