We went to the doctor last week and he weighed in at 12lbs 15oz (75 percentile) and 24.5 inches long (91 percentile). He is a big boy!!! She said he looks very healthy and is developing great!
He got 3 shots at this appointment since he missed his 1 month shots due to sickness. He took them like a trooper though! He didn’t cry with the first one but did with the next 2. As soon as she was done and I picked him up he stopped crying and acted fine! He was very snuggly the rest of the day so it must have worn him out!
Facts about him at 2 month (now 10 weeks):
He still loves to eat and takes about 4.5oz every 3 hours.
He smiles at you a lot when you talk to him after he eats.
He loves going for walks (in the carrier swing more than the stroller)
He still fights sleep but swaddling helps so much
He loves his mat and kicks like crazy (VERY strong!)
The vacuum will make him stop crying instantly (still fighting some colic)
He spits up A LOT – so beware if you hold him!
The car seat does not make him go to sleep anymore!
He is getting LOTS of hair
He is very hot natured and sweats all the time
He can hold his head up for a long time now
Is fascinated with mirrors when he finally focuses on them

We still think he is the most beautiful/handsome little boy in the world. His smiles can melt your heart fast! We cannot wait to hear a little giggle! He has gotten a lot better colic-wise (or we have gotten better at dealing with it!) and our pediatrician thinks by 3 months it will be much better and 4 months will be past it!
He is starting to sleep a little better but not consistent yet. We are working on that! He ran his first fever the other day after his shots. We gave him his first dose of Tylenol and it knocked it out fast. He still has a hard time pooping but our doctor had us give him some prune juice last time and it worked fast! His mood gets so much better when it is not over 48 hours between each BM! He LOVES the water and is great during bath time.
All in all his a healthy and happy baby boy! I cannot believe it is almost time to get his 3 month pictures done! Seems like we were just getting the newborn ones taken!
Here are some pictures of him!
