Ishaan : 2 months old today

Time really flies. Just some time back, we were eagerly waiting for Ishaan to arrive and today he is 2 months old already.

Past two months have been ... umm... interesting. While Ishaan is our 2nd kid, we had almost forgotten the experiences with Kavya at this age. So, this time is a good memory refresher.

Ishaan is a relatively good kid. I say relatively because each kid is different and some kids are easier in some respect than others. We are finding it somewhat easy to handle Ishaan than Kavya - now this could be due to multiple reasons - Foremost being we have been through this before - so 2nd time is usually easier. Also, right now Kavya is at a age where she demands much more of our energy and time than Ishaan. So, you just feel that handling Ishaan is so much easier :). Additionally, Kavya had colic during the first 3 months or so and so that had set our expectations really low with Ishaan.. but Ishaan does not seem to have colic. So, we feel happy and relieved about it.

Of course, like any other infant, Ishaan does have good and not-so-good times. He seems to be very impatient. When he is hungry, he has to have milk at that instant. And since we are bottle feeding him my expressed milk during the day, it takes 2-3 mins to heat the water and then warm up the milk in the water.. But Ishaan can't wait.. He will cry at the top of his voice till you put the bottle nipple in his mouth.. I wish he would understand that milk is only 2 mins away :)
The other problem is that he gets too gassy. No matter what I eat, he gets lot of gas and so sometimes it makes him so uncomfortable that he cries. He even wakes up due to gas sometimes.. Poor baby..

Other than that, he is a delight to hold and play with. He has now started smiling and when you see that smile first thing in the morning, you are sure to have a wonderful day ahead !
