GM's second month

I enjoy watching the changes in GM.  Whereas during the first month he spent most of his time sleeping, during the second month, he would stay awake for longer periods of time after each feeding. 
I still keep him swaddled when he sleeps, choosing the material for swaddling depending on the environmental temperature.  Often he would manage to work his arms out of it.  He would wake up, making his presence known with soft sounds first, getting louder as time passes.  I would wait to feed him until he is loud.  At this time, I know that he is really hungry and would finish his bottle.  To me this was important to try and set a pattern where he would finish his milk so that he would have a more regular feeding pattern instead of drinking a bit at a time, dragging the feeding.  Except when he was breast-fed, which he would be hungry again in about 2 hours time, with milk formula fed, the intervals were about about 3-4 hours.  This allowed me to plan my time better - I get to work on the farm in between as well as doing other chores.
Having a baby carrier that allowed me to carry him whilst leaving my hands free was also a bonus as this meant that I could be mobile and he would be comfortable held against my body.  I take GM everywhere with me, going banking, groceries, etc.  I wanted him to be accustomed to all types of sights and sounds so that he would not easily be shocked or scraed.  I would introduce him to new surroundings albeit not at "rush hour".
With three supply locations, my home in KL, my farm in Ulu Langat and the car, this allowed me the freedom to be modile with GM.  His car supply pack included milk, hot water, bottled water, diapers, travel pack toiletries, change of clothes, baby blanket and towel. Of course, he had his car seat which to me looks like I will have to change in about one month or so at the rate he was growing.
At his second month checkup, he weighed 6.4kg and 54.4cm tall.  If he grows at this rate, he will be a tall man.  Many people who met him thinks that he is around 4 months old based on his size and alertness.  He recognizes me now and will look for me when he hears my voice.  It makes my "heart smile" when I see him do this.  He has started to "fill out" his clothes and I love to hold him as he feels "solid".  When he is awake he likes to be held standing up with his feet planted down.  He can hold his head up but I do have my hands on stand-by to support his head should he need it.  He has also started to smile and baby talk so we have baby conversations :).
