James's head support, reaching, grabbing objects, wears 6-12 months clothes

He can now hold his head upright, I noticed today that he didn't need my support.  A few days ago he started reaching for and grabbing objects that were interesting to him, especially the caterpillar toy that all the kids loved.  He weighs 17 lbs and wears clothes 6-9mo up to 12mo.
His personality is amazing:  he smiles (and giggles--those are the best!) when people talk to him, and those smiles he gives me are the warmest and the most communicative smiles I've ever seen on a baby's face: first thing in the morning, while he is nursing, while I'm strapping him into his car seat, while we walk through a store and he is in front of me in the cart, and of course, in the house when I hold him in my lap and talk to him--then he'll string together all the sounds that he can make and with varying intonation talk to me like he is describing something very important.

Daddy is finally getting his smiles from James too.  For some weird reason, the kid would cry when he saw daddy, but now anymore.

James's 2-month doctor's appointment

At two months James weighs 16 lbs, which puts him at 98th-100th percentile in weight for his age.  He barely fits in his infant Graco carseat so we'll have to move him to the next carseat any day now.
He is getting a little fussier when it's time to sleep.  He cries more and wriggles, stuffs his fists in his mouth--the other day I thought that nursing him would calm his down, but he took so long to stop crying that he ate too much, and the moment I stuck a pacifier in his mouth instead of the boob, he threw up all over me and all over the couch!  It was pretty amazing to see the amount of milk that came out of his little belly!
He is still very patient during the day (crankiness hits around 9-10pm) and very happy when he is talked to.
