Leon's favorite part of the doctor's appointment, of course, was getting his two-month shots:
Leon's mood seems to be steadily improving, maybe partially because Lucia is keeping him in a sling most of the day to prevent acid reflux. He's enjoying diaper changes these days instead of being fussy and actually even smiles a lot while being changed! It's pretty easy to get him to smile, and a couple of days ago he was smiling at me for about two minutes straight while I just goofed around saying silly words. Here's a cute little smile followed by a big one followed by a goofy one:
Despite the mood improvement, he still is easily startled by loud noises, but is getting more used to them, especially the ones that (frequently) come out of Dari's mouth! He is a big fan of Dari in general and enjoys watching him run around. That makes it a good thing that Leon is getting good at holding his head up! He is a real champ about tummy time:
Luckily for mommy, Leon is also getting better at sleeping and staying asleep. He'll do 6-7 hours in the early night, but Lucia is trying to work it out so he gets used to falling BACK asleep after waking up in the middle of the night. Leon seems to be relaxed and happy looking at trees and listening to the sound of his ocean noise maker, which he always sleeps to (in fact, it runs most of the day, even when he is out of the crib for awhile). He is still very interested in the world, always looking around for people and objects. I never expected a baby to be so attentive to his surroundings. The pictures below really do a good job of capturing his curiosity (and love of bath time!):
Leon is also getting better at controlling his body. He can suck on his fist with some success and apparently use his feet to activate his music. See the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-ytjAbzrzQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
And speaking of feet, here's a cute foot picture that I wasn't sure how to include in this post:
