Karter turned 2 months old on Friday July 31st. People tell you time flies...They don't lie. Karter doesn't even look like a new born anymore. I have put away all his newborn clothing. He no longer wears newborn or 1 diapers anymore and hasn't for a while. This makes me so Sad.
I took Karter to the doctor yesterday for his 2 month well baby check up and for his first set of shots. I will say this was WAY harder on mom than him. I did hold in the tears until the nurse left though. I say that is pretty good. The first Vaccine was his oral vaccine...no one told me this wasn't a needle vaccine. So she is putting the liquid in his mouth I'm thinking this is the numbing medication. She laughed when I asked her if it was. He got his second and third in his left leg and the fourth in the right. He didn't know what to think at first and then did a pouty face and screamed. Face turned red couldn't catch is breath screaming. When she was all done I swooped him up so quickly. He stopped crying soon after.
2 month stats are:
Weight: 13 lbs. 3 ozs. 75-90%
Height: 24 inches 75-90%
Head: 40 1/2 cm. 50-90%
Dr. Prough says he is a big healthy boy. I was worried about him gaining enough weight...You never know how much they are eating when you nurse. She smiled and said Oh dear he is fine. She can tell he loves to eat.
We talked about sleeping. She told me that crying it out during the day is fine. I can let him cry but not longer than 25 mintues. She said this should only last about a week until he realizes this is where I'm gonna stay even if I am crying. I felt better knowing his Dr. was okay with me letting him cry. Now I am not to let him cry at night time until he is 4 months. This is fine with me.
Some thinks Karter is doing at 2 months:
-Smiling
-Some laughing
-Calms down real fast when mom or dad have him (We like this)
-Kicks legs and moves arms around real fast when looking at his name on the wall durning diaper changes
-sits in bumbo
-some tummy time (need to get better at this)
-Coos some
-Hates having clothes put on over the head
-Hates being put down during nap time
-Picky about his pacifier (only uses the one the hospital gave him)
-Can take a bottle if he's really hungry
-Loves the ceiling fan and clock
-Likes going outside with his daddy
We can't tell you how much we love being Karter's parents. We love this little boy and can't imagine life without him. He's perfect in everyway.
