2 Months Old!!

It is so very hard to believe that our baby boy is two months old as of yesterday. The last two months have gone by so fast and it seems that he is growing up a lot faster than we would like. We are enjoying every minute of the time we spend with our little guy, even when he is not in the best of moods (which is very rare!).

At 2 Months:

• Reed loves his Dad. He literally lights up when Chris enters the room and completely forgets that I exist. I don't mind it at all because it is so very sweet!
• He has a great love for his hands. They are frequently in his mouth. He often uses one of his hands to push the other hand into his mouth. So funny!
• He discovered his feet recently. He loves moving his toes around. He is amazed!
• He loves the ceiling fan...even if it is not moving. Ceiling fans are usually are big hit with all kids, but I have never heard of one that loves it when it isn't moving.
• He can hold his head up very well during tummy time, although he failed to demonstrate this to the pediatrician yesterday. I said that he had stage fright, haha!
• He talks and laughs at us when we play with him. It is absolutely precious to see him react to us and enjoy the time we spend with him.
• He can roll over (most of the way) when he is on the bed or couch. He still isn't very good at pulling his arm out from under him.
• He continues to sleep through the night, which is such a blessing!

Yesterday we went to the pediatrician for Reed's 2 Month appointment. He got two shots and was such a good boy. He only cried momentarily because I again had a bottle on hand to help him through the trauma. He got a little fussy later in the day so we gave him some Tylenol and he did great the rest of the evening. Below are the stats from his 2 month appointment. He fell into the same percentiles this visit as he did at the last visit, which we think is great. We are being consistent!

Weight: 12 lbs. 7 oz. - 75% (He's a growing boy!)

Height: 24 3/4 inches - 95%

Below are the pics from our rocking chair session yesterday. It was much harder this month to capture a good picture of him by himself in the rocking chair. Now that he can control his head a lot better, he was continually moving it back and forth checking out the surroundings. I might try it again today, just to get a few more good shots. For now, the below pics will have to do.

Happy 2 Month Birthday Reed!

Tadbit provides good support!

This is the position he ended up in pretty much everytime I tried to sit him up in the middle of the chair!

He liked being propped up much better!

The best shot of him sitting up by himself. He has gotten a lot thicker since last month!

The elephant provided very little support, but it is oh so cute!

"Haven't I done enough?!?!? I'm bored!"

Feetsies!

I decided to put him in a bucket this month since he can hold his head up much better! So cute!

I love this pic! I wish it wasn't blurry!

Just doing a little talking to the camera!
