two month check-up

This morning we had Corben's 2 month check up at the doctor. He looked so cute in his little outfit :) At his two week appointment, he was 21.5 inches long. Now he is 24.5! That's a 3 inch growth!!! The nurse even came back in to re-measure him because she thought that she had surely done it wrong. She couldn't believe the amount he grew in 6 weeks. He is now in the 90th percentile for height.
He weighs 13lbs 15oz now. That puts him in the 85th percentile for weight. Dr. Grassl said that she thinks he is definitely growing into his genetic potential! Haha...what a big boy :)
Dr. Grassl was amazed that he is sleeping so well. Last night, by the way, he had his first 10 hour night. He had his bath and bottle at 8, was asleep by 8:30 and woke up at 6:30 this morning!!! She said everything he is doing is 100% normal and right on track for what he should be doing. It seems as though 4 months is the next big milestone. He should be giggling, having good head control, losing his startle reflex, sleeping without a swaddle, and I can start him on rice cereal then!

After a good conversation about how well he is doing, it was time for the shots :( He got a shot in each leg and also had to be given a vaccine orally. After each shot, he cried the loudest I've ever hear him cry. Ugh so sad. At his 4 month check up, we get to do them all again!

This is him right now, snoozing away. You can't see his legs, but he has little bunny band-aids on them.....so sweet.


Today we are just going to rest and relax from his big morning at the doctor. Whew.....I need a nap!
