8 weeks - not 2 months!

I was telling Joe the other day how I couldn't believe Jack was going to be 8 weeks old today (Thursday) and he said "yeah, 2 months" and I said no, 8 weeks. Just like last month I had to explain that 8 weeks does not necessarily mean 2 months because he won't officially be 2 months until next Tuesday (the 12th). Guys just don't get it sometimes I think.

Jack had his very first playdate on Tuesday. We got together with my friend Melissa and her little boy Eddie who will be 1 next month. We had such a good time and I think Jack was just in awe of seeing another baby because this was a first for him. We took the boys to the beach and walked on the boardwalk. It's been a while since I've been to the beach and forgot how much I love to just look out at the ocean. Hopefully we'll be able to bring Jack back there again when he's a little older so he can actually enjoy it.

We have hit a few milestones now too as we get to the 2 month mark. Jack now smiles a lot more and will do so when we play with him which is so cute. He is still a little stingy with them but he's getting better =) Another milestone is he can roll from his belly to his back. I didn't believe it at first and figured it was just a fluke when he did it the first time but since then he has done it about 3 times. I try tummy time with him on his belly on his playmat and he gets so annoyed that he actually is able to get himself on his back and then quickly calms down. He is just getting way too big too fast!

Next Thursday we are going for his 2 month doctors appointment and I'm not really looking forward to it at all. I can't wait to see how much he weighs and how long he is, especially since he feels so hefty these days but I am not looking forward to my poor little guy getting shots for the first time. I can still remember going with my sister Nikole to my niece Jenna's doctor's appointment where she got shots and all 3 of us were in tears. Hopefully Jack won't cry too much, we shall see I guess.
