Two months old!

Last week Cameron turned two months old. We can't believe how fast the time has gone. Here are a few notes about Cam's second month:

• He has started to smile at us, and even laugh a little bit. It is so cute and rewarding!!
• This month he found his hands... well, his hands found each other and then they found his mouth. He constantly is playing with his hands, we say that he looks like he is plotting to take over the world!
  
• Cam love, love, loves mobiles. He can stare at the one in his crib or on his swing forever.
• He has had two distinct night time schedules this month. He started off on his twice a night schedule, going to bed at around 10pm, then waking up at 2am and 5am. The last part of the month, he moved on to the once a night schedule, waking up at 3am only. It is such a nice change!!
• His internal clock is insane, it is so, so accurate. Three hours after he eats, he is ready to eat again. Three hours, right on the dot! If he wakes up at 2:14am, he would wake up again at 5:14am.
• He has definite preferences on toys - some he is interested in, others he won't look twice at. His favorites have lights and make noise.
  
• He is getting quite wiggly and "mobile". He can almost roll over and he kicks his feet and waves his hand like a madman when he is lying on his back. When he is lying on his playmat, he can kick and hit the overhead hanging toys (although we don't know if he is doing it purposefully or not!).
  
• Cam is such a noisy little boy. He coos, babbles and talks all the time. He "purrs" when he is happy and squeaks and squeals when he is mad.

Cam had his two month doctor's appointment on Monday. The doctor said that he is very healthy and was impressed with how coordinated Cam was (purposely grabbing at his stethoscope). Here are Cam's two month stats:
Length: 23 1/2 inches - between 50 and 75th percentile
Weight: 12 lbs, 6 ozs - 75th percentile
Head Circumference: 40 1/2 cm - 75th percentile

So he has moved up quite a bit on the percentile scale, and is overall proportionate. Cam also had to get his very first shots, which was so sad. The nurse was very quick and did a great job, but Cam was so shocked and upset when it happened. We quickly scooped him into our arms when it was done and he calmed down quickly, then fell asleep. He spent the rest of the day alternately snoozing and fussing. Here is a picture of Cam with his matching bandaids:
