My Big Boy

Your 2 month birthday was yesterday but today was your 2 month appointment. You are getting sooooooo big! Today you were 13 pounds 2 ounces and 24 inches long. The 90th percentile for both! Where did my little baby go? Where is the boy who was in the 20th percentile at 2 weeks? Every time i pick you up, I can't believe how big you are.

You didn't like the doctor's office from the start of the visit. You cried as soon as we made it into the waiting room. You calmed down in the waiting room when a little boy and girl were playing peek a boo with you. You were all smiles for them, which they loved. But you started crying again when the nurse measured you and again when the doctor checked you. Then came the shots. I don't think I will ever forget the look you gave me when you realized the pain. I am sorry we had to cause you pain but it was only to keep you healthy. Ever since we came home, you have been very clingy, whiny and sleepy. I have been cuddling you the whole time in hope that I will help you feel at least a little bit better.

A new habit has developed during the past couple of days. For your morning nap I put you in the swing when you are tired. You will swing by yourself until you fall asleep. You no longer need me to rock you to sleep. This is a big improvement because only a couple weeks ago you would scream if I put you in the swing before you were asleep. This new ability makes me feel a little better about sending you to daycare in a month.
