Today Ivan rolled from his back onto his tummy unassisted.

He played with his reflection in the mirror. Okay, I held him up to the mirror and he got excited. He smiled and drooled. It counts as playing.

He continued the blowing of spit bubbles trick he started yesterday too.

Here is Ivan in his carrier in the “adventure position.” We went out on a walk where the fall leaves with sunlight streaming through them were his mobile. He was impressed. His eyes were wide open the whole walk and his legs kicked excitedly when the wind blew through the trees.
Such a kid!

At his two month well check doctor visit
Ivan’s head is 38 3/4 cm
His height is 22 1/2 inches
He weighs 11lbs 15 oz

He’s somewhere in my lap.

If I say his name in a high-pitched voice and get right up in his face, he will give me a smile. Not sure why that’s what he likes, but he does.

Ivan is quickly outgrowing his newborn clothes. He is growing so much! It is great to see him turn baby from newborn. I feel bittersweet in a way I didn’t with my first baby. Because I wanted two kids and now have them both, as Ivan outgrows things I know I will not have a child this small ever again. I am enjoying his smallness while it is here.

Come on, you can smile, Ivan.

Smile, Ivan, your smile is so great!

Oops. . . I guess we’re not headed for a smile here.
