<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\nAccording to official measurements as of this morning’s two-month checkup, Adrian is 58.5cm and 6130g. He has outgrown most of his size 56 clothes.\n<\/p>\n
\nHis awake periods are getting longer but they’re not particularly predictable. Sometimes when I think he should be alert and perky, he tires after half an hour. Other times he seems really tired but still won’t sleep more than short stretches.\n<\/p>\n
\nMy cautious assessment is that his stomach problems have improved during the last 10 days, since I excluded milk from my diet. We actually had 4 days of no reflux screaming at all. While it hasn’t been that rosy more recently, he spends some time awake and happy after every feed. The doctor told us that if the milk-free diet seems to help, keep it up and re-evaluate at the next checkup in a month’s time.\n<\/p>\n
\nAdrian now seeks eye contact when held (since about 2 weeks ago), and works his facial muscles hard when I talk to him or make faces. Smile-like movements have been observed but no unambiguously clear smile yet.\n<\/p>\n
\nUnlike Ingrid he likes his dummy and wants to suck on it when going to sleep, no matter whether in bed or in sling. Also unlike Ingrid he does not like the pushchair or the pram. Both have been banished to the basement for the time being.\n<\/p>\n
\nMost recently he’s started to like being completely upright, not reclining in his bouncy chair or against my legs. He pushes away from my legs with his head in order to be more upright. When held upright he can hold his head pretty well. Sometimes he pushes away with his legs and refuses to sit, so I hold him standing up on my lap.\n<\/p>\n
