Two Months Old!


Current Stats:
Weight: 12.5 lbs (75th percentile)
Length: 24 inches(90th percentile)
Head: 50th percentile (I can't remember the measurement!)

Today Jackson had his two month appointment. It was fun to see how much he has grown since his last appointment. He is getting so big! It looks like he is tall and thin, just like his dad! But, the appointment was also awful because he had to get immunizations. He had to have three shots in his thighs. It was so terrible! He cried so hard and it broke my heart! Thank goodness he won't remember it! I gave him some tylenol and then he slept for a while and then did really well the rest of the day. Here are some things that Jackson is doing now:

*He smiles all the time
*He makes little sounds, especially when he is happy and smiling
*If I prop him up he can sit up for a few seconds
*He loves to be naked and is so happy during diaper changes!
*He likes to stand up while holding onto my fingers
*He squeals when he gets excited
*He is only getting up once a night now!
*He falls right to sleep at night after he eats
*He likes to suck on his fist

Those are just a few things I can think of right now. We feel so grateful to have such an adorable, happy, and healthy baby! It is so much fun being a mom and I love this baby so much!

Aren't immunizations the worst!?! Ryan would look at me like "What are you doing to me?? That hurts!" I almost cry every time he has to get those blasted shots. I'm glad Jackson did so well with them and didn't get sick after his shots.

He is adorable. I know shots are awful, but just wait, they get worse. My kids have always done fine and never gotten sick. When they are around one, though, they look at you so sadly, it's horrible.

Mariah he is getting so big so fast!! I can't believe it. He already looks so different from the last time I saw him. We never see you guys anymore. :( Also your blog is really cute. Where do you get your cute backgrounds?

He is getting so big and he has changed so much from the last time that I seen him. He is so cute! Next time your down call and lets get together!

Time is just flying by. I know you hear it all the time, but he is growing so fast--unfortunately they all do that. Believe me I have tried to put a stop to the whole growing up thing and have still been unsuccessful. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

Sounds like the little guy is doing AWESOME he's growing so fast. We need to plan another get together after Christmas. Twilight was way fun we had a blast. So...I'm wondering how you do your cute christmas backgrounds and headers on your page.

Becca said...

He seems to be growing so fast!!!! I want to see him some time. I want to come visit everyone up on E8 too but on a good night when people worth seeing are working... like you for instance so When you get back into those wonderful nightshifs (if you ever do) Let me know when you will be there so I can stop by.

I love your background. I hate immunizations, but apparently the older they get the worse it is...
