two months down...

Since my parents and younger sister are coming into town tomorrow, Peter's proper 2-month birthday, I am posting some updates today...

- Two nights do not a trend make. Yes, Peter gave us two blissful nights of 7+ hours of sleep, but he went right back to his around-3 a.m. feeding last night. As Kevin rightly pointed out, he DOES sleep for 6 hours at a time, and really, one late-night (nay, early-morning) feeding is really quite manageable.

- Peter had an enjoyable, fuss-free dinner out last night with Kevin's officemate and wife. As they are expecting a baby boy of their own in late August, I think they were quite happy to see how good babies can be. (And they could be naturals themselves; Kevin's officemate was quick to pick up Peter's "complaining" cry from his "aah! help urgently needed!" cry.) (They related a cautionary tale, and tried to convince Kevin to move to Toronto.)

- Peter's really started drooling in full effect. It's startling just how much slobber he can generate. This morning, the front of his onesie was so thoroughly drenched I thought for sure that he'd spit up...but no, he'd just slimed all over himself.

- As a result of a case of cradle cap (or, cradle crap as it's called around here), he's starting to lose his newborn hair. Sigh. It was a good run, kiddo.
