Tallen is 2 months old!

Tallen turned two months old on March 19th, 2018! Life flies by so much more after having him! Which is why its the end of April and I am playing catch up posting about his second month of life! He is the sweetest little boy and has filled my heart so much! 



At two months old Tallen can do all the things that a baby her age should be able to do including:

• smile in response to your smile
• respond to a bell in some way
  

  
  

He can also do all the things a baby his age probably would be able to do including:

• vocalize in ways other than crying
• lift head 45 degrees while lying on stomach

He can also do some of the things a baby his age may be able to do including:

• hold head steady when upright (for a few minutes at least and then it tends to drop)
• grasp a rattle held to the backs or tips of fingers (if you give it to him he can, but he doesn't reach for it)
• say "ah-goo" or similar vowel-consonant combinations
• roll over one way
• pay attention to an object as small as a raisin ( he will follow something small if its close to him)

He cannot:

• on stomach, raise chest, supported by arm (he can lift up his head pretty high but not really supporting himself with arms just yet)
• reach for an object

Tallen can do all of the things a baby his age may possibly be able to do including:

• smile spontaneously
• bring both hands together
• on stomach, lift head 90 degrees
• squeal in delight
• follow an object held about 6 inches above the baby's face and moved 180 degrees (from one side to the other) with baby watching the whole way
• laugh out loud (here and there, but not consistent)

Some things Tallen does not like right now are:

• being in his car seat especially if the car is not moving
• being hungry or tired, but who can blame him
• me putting him down unless I am right there with him
• he is not a big laying on is belly fan
• sleeping in his crib
• doesn't like to be cold

Some things Tallen likes right now are:

• bath time
• being cuddled or snuggled
• being held
• holding onto my shirt while I hold him
• mornings
• laying on his back while you talk to him
• his paci
• eating

 

  Tallen likes to hold my shirt while he is eating and likes to have me or a blanket on his face while he falls asleep. He sleeps basically all night. His baby acne is clearing up finally! He kicks his legs his arms and legs so fast when he is excited and in the bath tub! He loves having his paci touching his mouth in some way. He has not had any cereal or baby foods. Breast milk exclusively and has been a champ at it!
