2+ months

It's hard to believe James is already 2 and a half months old... so much has happened in this time, yet he still seems so new to us. His personality is forming and changing. He wants to talk and play and watch things move all the time. Sitting in his chair no longer excites him unless he has a video to watch, or a mobile moving and playing music, or one of us in his face interacting with him. We try to give him lots of things to look at to keep him engaged. He 'stands' on his legs when we hold him up and he can usually, although not always yet, hold his head up on his own now.

He is finally nursing properly, although we still alternate with bottle feedings so that we can give him all of his vitamin and calorie supplements. It's so hard to decide between the immunity benefits of nursing and the calorie/weight-gaining benefits of formula. His heart slows him down, so the formula helps him beef up a bit, but nursing helps me by leaving fewer bottles to wash!
