2 month Appointment

Today was Inoke's 2 month appt. His stats are
Weight: 12 lbs 4 oz - 80%
Height: 24 inches - 92%
Head: 15 inches - 20%

So needless to say he is growing, growing, growing, except for his little noggin which only grew half an inch ;(, Dr. Savage said not to worry though everything else is looking great. Inoke also got his first round of real shots today, no more easy peasy pricks to the heel, these nurses meant business and gave him the shots in his thighs, poor little guy couldn't catch his breath for a minute because he was so upset. Just heartbreaking. But he quickly calmed down when I picked him up and snugged him. However that was short lived,
here's how we spent most of the morning

So after a filling lunch, good poop, and a warm bath, I gave in and decided to give the poor little guy some Ibuprofen, and now the afternoon has been like this

Dr. Savage was impressed with his ability to hold his head up so well and that he holding his chest up, which I guess most 2 month olds don't do very well, and we attribute it to tummy time!!

Yay for Inoke!!!

Another great thing, and I hope I don't jinx it, but Inoke has been sleeping so well at night. He has been waking up only once to eat! We've been starting a routine, before his 7-8pm feeding we have been putting some yummy smelling sleepytime lotion on him, clean diaper and then putting on the PJ's, sometimes he gets a bath too. He eats and usually falls asleep around 9-10pm and has been skipping his next feeding and then sleeps until anywhere from 2am-4am, wakes up eats, then goes back to sleep until 6 or 7! I can't believe it, we (I) have been so lucky. So we are gonna keep up this routine and hope it sticks!

Last Thursday my little brother and his little wife had their baby boy. I took some photos, and my "little" guy looks like a giant compared to theirs. They are exactly 8wks apart. These boys are the 1st of the cousins on the Harris side, yay for cousins, now just anxiously awaiting Scotty and Christa's arrival in December.
