Kirby's doing really well. He's a big dude! Yesterday was his 2 month birthday, but we won't be taking him in until next week for his 2 month appt. I'll find out his weight and length at that time. I've asked Gary to accompany me to that appt b/c Kirby has to get 3 vaccines and I think I'll pass out if I have to be the one to hold him!
He's been hitting all of his developmental marks (at least the ones the books mention). It was really a big difference once he started smiling back at us and making happy noises (around 1 month). In the past 2 days, I've noticed that he's been able to focus on things - looking us in the eyes, looking at the pictures in the books I read, etc. This morning he finally noticed Bingham. :)
I'm trying to be better about putting him down for naps, but it's difficult b/c he wakes up quickly once he realizes he's not being held. I've been trying to get him used to the car seat (he doesn't seem to like to be confined) and today I was actually able to get him to take a 30 minute nap in the car seat. Ahh..... freedom (at least temporarily).
I'm also trying to take him out of the house a little bit every day. I take him for a little walk around the neighborhood - either in the car seat or strapped to me in the bjorn if it's a nice, not too sunny day. However, there aren't many really nice days lately between the cold and the rain so I've occasionally taken him to the mall or Target to walk around. I imagine I'll get bored of that, but at least we're not looking at the same walls all day and he tends to nod off a bit when we're walking. It's nice for me b/c then I get a little bit of a mental break.
This is Kirby in the bjorn after our afternoon walk yesterday.
