Two months old

This month was filled with discovery.  P discovered his hands and his voice.  He met his paternal grandparents, Memere and Papa.  He traveled on a Shinkansen to Aomori and Tokyo, filing all of the necessary paperwork for his visa and passport.  Finally he discovered that spending time with daddy is fun while mommy is at work. 

At two months P spends most of his day eating and sleeping.  He likes to sleep on his tummy and loves a pacifier or fist to soothe himself to sleep.  He also enjoys sleeping in the ergo or moby carrier. Although he would choose to sleep in someone's arms or on mommy and daddy's chest.   

He has spent lots of time moving his arms and hands and finally coordinated them to bring his fist to his mouth.  He is still perfecting the movement and can be seen punching himself in the nose, cheeks and forehead before his fist makes it to his mouth.  Practice makes perfect. 

P is a very good dinner date. We enjoyed okonomiyaki (savory Japanese pancake made with cabbage and other fixings) while he slept.  Mommy and Memere are good at eating with P in our arms.

Daddy enjoys making P smile and coo.  P says ahh ouu.  Daddy has seen P roll over onto his side and back from his tummy.  He is a proud daddy.

One of P's favorite spots to breastfeed and relax in his chair is under the mobile.  Memere made him a mobile full of colorful circles. He loves to stare up at it.  He is also known to stare up at mommy!
