2 Month Update

Colt is now 2 months old! He had his 2 month well check-up today at the doctors'. He now weighs a whopping 13 lbs 4 oz and is 24 inches long. Almost doubled his birth weight. He's a growing boy. He is in the 75th percentile for weight and height based on his age and the 50th percentile for weight based on his height. So he's a perfect size:) He's getting so chunky though, I love it! Oh, and apparently he has a little "pea head," his head circumference is 29cm, which is the 25th percentile...haha!

He also had to get 3 shots today...and it was the saddest thing in the world watching him get pricked by a needle 3 times! Oh my, no one can prepare you for how bad you feel when your little baby goes through that:( He screamed his head off...I didn't think he was going to breathe...so sad. I picked him up right after she was done and he cried just a little bit, then was ok. So, he did very well...poor thing:( Nana was there with us and she couldn't stand it!! He was fussy a couple hours after his appt, so I gave him Tylenol for pain.

What he's doing now:

Eating: 4.5-5 oz every 2 1/2 - 3 hours (mostly every 3 hours)
Increase in Cooing/Talking
Increase social smiling (almost laughing)
Sleeping through the night (10:00-6:00)
Wearing 0-3 month clothes (but they are getting pretty tight)
Using size 1 diapers (swaddlers)
Loves to look at faces, the fan, the outside light and pictures on the wall
Will hold onto toys for a few minutes before letting go
Starting to find his hands and sucking on hands/fingers
Loves for people to talk to him
Loves to play on the floor on his play mat and look at the hanging toys
Loves to rock & be held and walk around when sleepy, but fights the sleep in the evenings
Loves to go outside!
Holds his head up very well for a few minutes
Doesn't really like tummy time

Appearance:
His eyelashes started growing, but I'm not sure if they're done yet.
Has a nice round face which is really filling out (the doctor mentioned his nice round face)
A big belly:)
Heat bumps on his face and neck that will go away at 4 months (per the doc)
Starting to get little fat rolls:)
Dark blue eyes

Here's some pics of him at 2 months:




Sometimes Colt has a hard time taking naps during the day, so we tried swaddling him during his naps. Here he is today after a nap...he looks so funny! (I tried to turn the video but was unsuccessful)




Here's another video of time on the floor, apparently Gizzy thought he would join in the fun:)

He's SUCH a good baby:)
