On Tuesday, Baby had his 2 month checkup. He now weighs 13 lbs 6.5 ozs and is 24 inches. He is also healthy healthy healthy! He received 3 shots and some drops for the first round of vaccinations. In anticipation for this, I gave Baby some baby Tylenol before the appointment to stave off some of the effects. It worked! After the initial shock of being awoken from his nap with the drops, the stabbed 3 times, he was pretty much zonked out (sleeping) for the rest of the day! He did good that night as well. Last night, however (the 2nd night after) he had a hard time going to sleep and actually needed the light on. Then was an early riser @ 4:30am. Mom and Dad didn't get much sleep after that! I think today he is doing better. He still has those blue eyes and he hair is getting redder and redder each time it is washed!
So these are the things about Baby:
blow bubbles
smile
laugh (ok not really LAUGH OUT LOUD but his own little laugh)
reach for his foot
try and grab at his foot (haven't reached those toes yet)
hold head level with back when in a horizional position
can follow objects 2-3 feet away with his eyes (depends on size and color)
attracted to light
cries or wakes when Dad coughes....or sometimes when Mom sneezes
since we're on coughing, has a very good coughing and sneezing reflex
loves baths, but hates getting his hair washed
is VERY particular how he is held, mostly on Mom's hip facing out and being bounced...when she's standing
absolutely HATES tummy time, although last night we made it through 5 minutes with no crying!
So I'm sure there is more stuff about Baby, but this post may already be too long. We are VERY EXCITED that Grandma and Grandpa N and Great-Grandma J are arriving tomorrow!
