It’s official

I’m a BIG boy! We went to Dr. Martin today for my 2 month well visit. I now weigh 15lbs 4oz and am 24.5 inches long. That means I’ve gained 5 pounds in 2 months. I guess that must be a lot because Mom appears to still be in shock.

In other news, I actually enjoyed bath time last night! The first couple of times I was not too pleased with the whole bathing experience. Then I began to find it somewhat tolerable but only for a short time. But boy oh boy what fun now! I really don’t know what my problem was before. I think maybe I’ll start spitting up more just to get a bath more often now. Maybe if I’m really sneaky I can hide some of it in the roles of my neck so I get good and stinky!

2 months already?!?

Can you believe it? I know I can't...and Mom is definitely in shock. She's feeling quite guilty that in 2 months this is only my second blog entry. Needless to say we just don't know where the time has gone! My 2-month doctor appointment isn't for 2 more days so I don't have any stats to share but I assure you I am a BIG BOY! At 4 weeks I was unofficially about 12lbs. Anyone care to wager what I'm at now? Being that the onesie I was wearing yesterday showed cleavage it was so short (I'm built like my mom...looooong torso, short little legs), we retired my 0-3 month clothes today. It's a shame because some of it sure was cute.

Last week I took my first plane ride to visit Gramma and Grampa in Minnesota. What a relaxing experience! I really don't know what Dad stresses about. People looked at us a little funny because apparently babies usually don't go first class but hey, Mom and Dad earned those miles just like the rest of 'em dang it! Dad was really proud of me for sleeping the whole flight both ways. Minnesota is a pretty good time. I got to ride a John Deer AND a Vespa! I also got to spend some time with my cousin Macord. I think he was a little jealous of my sweet bouncy chair Gramma bought.

Other than that things have been status quo. I get to hang out with Mom all day every day and we are having a great time. It helps that I'm really honing my communication skills. Every day I practice talking more and more and I've learned how to turn the volume up on this voice thing! I love to smile...it gets me lots of attention. Dad and I also play a fun game with our tongues. He sticks his out and then I stick mine out. It's pretty funny. Even though I haven't quite figured out how to laugh like the grown-ups, I can sure come close by breathing in and out real fast and squealing. Oh! And I finally figured out how to get my fist in my mouth!! Now I'm' working on both at the same time. Boy is that a tough one.
