Today we had your two month check-up appointment, the day after you turned two months old. The visit confirmed what we already knew...you are a growing little boy who is meeting all of his developmental milestones. You weighed in at 11 lbs 3 oz (33 percentile) and you are 23.5 inches (72 percentile) as you continue to be long and skinny. But daddy says not to worry, that many quarterbacks are tall and thin. :)
Unfortunately you also received your shots today, but you did such a great job. After being upset initially, you calmed to nurse and then fell asleep on the way home. You woke up when we got home and even had smiles for mommy and daddy.
We spent a lot of time talking with the doctor about your upset tummy and the fact that it wakes you up so often at night. (Last night alone we were up 4 times...once for an hour and a half!) We're increasing your medicine dose and are going to space out the times we give it to you. Hopefully that will help in providing some extended relief.
During the last weekend your grandma flew in from Florida to help mommy and daddy with you for a few days. She loved playing with you and she even sacrificed her sleep to wake up with you during the two nights she was here, letting mommy have her first good nights of sleep in eight weeks. I am forever indebted to her!
This week brought the first taste of fall weather to Houston and we enjoyed it with you to the max. We went on an hour and a half long walk with daddy on Monday and on Wednesday we took our first StrollerFit class together. You also enjoyed being outside with daddy in the mornings while mommy slept in a bit to recover from our nights together.
You have become more alert in noticing your surroundings, paying close attention to things like the mobile on your swing and the hanging toys on your car seat, which before went somewhat unnoticed. You also like to stare at the ceiling fan and lights. You are very close to giggling...you'll take too many breaths and get so excited when something delights you. And we, in turn, are delighted by you.
Love,
Mommy
