2 Months

Today marks my babies second month of life!  He's growing so fast.  I took a bunch of pictures today so I'll post them this weekend after hubby is home (tomorrow afternoon!) and I can find the spare time to just do whatever I want.  He continues to amaze me.  He loves bath time more at every bath...tonight he learned that when he kicks, the water splashes.  I'm trying to get him to swat his arms at the water, but not yet.  When he's not throwing his fits, he loves to smile, giggle and play with his play mat entertainer.  He's still not loving his swing, but he is getting more comfortable with the bouncy seat...he can stay in for about 20 minutes compared to the less than 5 last week. 
I went up to 5 ounces on his formula on Monday, but am beginning to wonder if it's too much.  He's been spitting up a lot lately and he used to spit up maybe twice a week, now it's two to three times a day.  Not too sure if i should be concerned, but I am.  I'm thinking of putting him back down to 4 ounces and feed him every 2.5-3 hours rather than 3-3.5 hours.  He likes to eat more often than not, so if i cut him back down and continue to feed as often, I think he will be fine.  If he's not fed by 3.5 hours, he's screaming, like he's starving...even at 5 ounces.  Babies make you think a lot.
My friend, Marina, had her twin girls yesterday.  I went up and visited today and while I visited, Marina's husband took Xander for 2 hours.  Xander wasn't allowed in the mother/baby unit because he's not in their family and he's an infant.  The girls are precious, I told one that her and Xander can be girlfriend/boyfriend...LOL.  We're going to have fun for the next two years being stationed here with friends in close age.
I'm continually amazed at how often we get stopped to say how adorable our baby is.  I mean, I know he's a handsome young boy, but we got stopped 6 times in the grocery store tonight.  Although one lady did try to give me some advice on colic...Xander was screaming throughout the entire store :(. 
I'll get pictures up this weekend...some with Xander and daddy as well :)

Have a great day!
