Morgan - 2 months

It seems like all of a sudden around 7 weeks, you suddenly stopped being a tiny sleepy newborn and started being a chubby alert baby!  Here's some things about you now.

• You are such a good baby.  You rarely cry, and you love to snuggle.  You've been on a good schedule since birth pretty much, with an eat/play/sleep cycle about every 3 hours.
• Your eyes have maintained their ambiguous eye color.  Kind of a muddy bluish color.  
• You like to keep some form of physical contact with those around you - a fist tightly closed on my collar or a hand wrapped around a finger are the most common.
• When you're awake you like to be sitting up or held upright instead of laying back.
• You had baby acne from roughly weeks 4-6, then it disappeared as quickly as it came.
• It used to be a struggle to keep you awake for even an hour, but now you easily stay awake for about an hour and a half before falling asleep.
• I fear that you are going to be a baby who drools.  You like to blow spit bubbles when you're awake.  It's nothing crazy yet, but this could easily turn into drool as you get bigger.
• You like to try to suck on your fingers or fists.  Maybe a thumb sucker in the future?  In the meantime, you are extremely binky-obsessed.  You don't usually need it at night, but during daytime naps you have a hard time staying asleep if your binky falls out.
• You hate laying on your play mat.  You start fussing immediately for human interaction instead.  The only time you will lay on your mat is if Bennett lays next to you, and even then it's only for a short time.
• You only wake up twice at night to eat usually, but this past week there have been a couple times where you only wake up once.  You'll go to sleep around 9pm and sleep until around 2am, then don't wake again until about 6:30am.
• You drink about 3oz of milk per feeding (every 3 hours) although you still spit up after almost every single one.  We started you on some reflux medicine this week to see if it would help with that.  
• When you nurse, when I make you stop drinking and sit you up to burp you, you do the same thing every time - blink sleepily and look around bewildered for a second, then angry cry for a few seconds at being forced to stop nursing.  It's hilarious!
• You are so strong!  You are always breaking out of your bundling and swaddle wraps.  I never had that problem with Bennett until he was much much older!
• You have started to coo and "talk" more, and starting at 7 weeks old you have started to SMILE!  It's still fleeting but we can count on some smiles for about the first 20 minutes after each feeding.  After that it seems like you run out of energy.
