New pic of Simon

Simon's ten weeks old now. He is good at following me if I’m close but not all the time. He’s giving full face smiles and attempts at laughs too. I can usually get him to laugh by clapping his hands together while saying “clap, clap, clap” and getting faster and faster until I raise his hands above his head and say “stretch.” He will usually smile when I do “Round and Round the Garden” too. Simon’s neck is getting stronger but he doesn’t like tummy time. He has pretty bad cradle cap but the doctor recommended Selsun Blue for it. Go figure.

He had his two month check-up last week. He got three shots; he turned beet red when he got the first one. He was a little unsettled that night but he was over it quickly. He's gotten big. He weighs 12lbs. 14oz (90%) and measures 24.25 inches long (95%). He's only 25% for head circumference and he has a flat spot on one side of his head. We have to switch sides for changing diapers and sleeping to even him out.

Simon sleeps great. Two nights ago he slept through the night for the first time. Then he did it again last night. He goes to sleep easily. Sometimes I don’t have to rock him; I just swaddle him, give him his pacifier, hug him and lay him down. Nice.
