Two Months: Random Facts!

I'm typing these up mostly so that I remember. I'm sure they are boring to everyone else!

Random Preston Facts:

-He doesn't really like to be held unless he's being fed. He prefers being laid down to play, sleep, and stretch his muscles! Some people think that he doesn't like them, but he just wants to be put down. I think it's because it was soooo hot when he was born (HOTTEST AUGUST ON RECORD!!!) and he's more comfortable when not in someone's arms.

-He will only take Avent pacifiers and only when he's tired and cranky. Amazingly, we've only lost one so far!

-He makes a weird breathing noise when he's being happy and kicking his legs. It's pretty funny.

-He loves to be swaddled. It settles him down right away if he's being fussy.

-He will only sleep in his crib at night. He sleeps in his swing during the day. He can't help but be lulled to sleep when he's in that thing!

-He typically wakes up once a night, usually around 1 or 2 a.m., and he's up for the day around 7 a.m. Ugh. I wish he would sleep later in the morning!

-His eyes are a really dark, gorgeous blue!

-He often has a stuffy nose. He's doomed to have allergies and sinus problems.

-He pretty much always has gas when I'm nursing him. It gets a little painful for both of us!

-He loves the bath. I usually get him in the tub with me and hold his head up while his body floats around. He's in absolute heaven every time.

-He gets a "cheesy" neck. It's hard to keep his neck folds clean! Sometimes I pick him up and he smells like stinky cheese. This is why we bathe every day!

-He loves his toys that play music and light up. He smiles and smiles when they are turned on.

-He'll go in waves with the peeing-all-over-when-we-change-his-diaper thing. He'll do it a bunch of times in a row and then won't do it for a few weeks. The walls of our house are grateful when he's in a no-pee stage.

-His fingernails grow really fast. He's scratched himself on the face numerous times. I am such a bad mom!

-He generally likes car rides, but doesn't really like being put in his car seat.

-He likes to go on walks in his stroller.

-He is starting to realize that he can touch things with his hands--mostly swatting at toys above his head.

-He knows when I am getting ready to feed him. It's hilarious. You'd think I starve him or something.

-He has a stick-straight, natural mohawk. I don't even have to comb it that way.

-His hair gets greasy after one day. Takes after his well-oiled daddy.

-He is the cutest, most handsome, best-looking baby ever.

-He is the funniest, most exciting, happiest baby ever.

-He is a genius. THE END.
