2 Months Old and Feelin Fine

Ethan is now officially 2 months old...which means a lot of things. First, it means that we have survived with him for almost 10 weeks. Second, it means that he is growing like a weed, and third, it means his first shots. It also means that he can sleep all the way through the night and it is time for fun things like play groups, baby gyms, and of course more tummy time!

We took Ethan in for his 2 month appointment and he measured 24 inches long!! To which, Jon replied, "Hey dude, you are 2 feet now!" Too Cute!! He weighed in at a whopping 12 pounds, 12 ounces, and is perfect in every way according to his pediatrician.

At 2 feet long, he is almost out of his Mutsy bassinet, and it will be time soon to move to the other part of the stroller, the super seat.

Ethan got a lot of shots for his first round, three actual pricks in the thighs, and then one oral one. I had to hold him, cause Jon could not look. Ethan screamed when poked for about 10 seconds, then went right to sleep, and slept most the of the afternoon. Those shots stink though!

Milestones for Ethan at month 2:

He is laughing and smiling on cue. He can turn his head from side to side to follow things. He likes to push himself up when on his tummy. He really likes to wiggle and move around the floor and the bed. He likes to do leg squats on Jon every morning. He loves to read books, especially Goodnight Moon. He likes to take baths, and loves to kick his legs like he is swimming. He finds the dog fascinating and has started to squeal and blow bubbles out his mouth!
