On Thursday we had his two-month check up. He was, of course, a model baby, smiling and cooing at everyone. That is, until he got his shots. Boy did he hate those! My sweet, happy boy turned beet red and just screamed his head off. So sad to see him like that. He still has a fever from them today but at least he's back to being cheerful when he is awake.
Here are his stats:
11lbs 7oz (40th %) (6lbs 15oz at birth)
23.25" (55%) (21" at birth)
At his two-month check up, Harrison was 11lbs 3oz and 22.75". Of course I had to compare them, just to have some frame of reference for how he's doing. No, I won't spend their whole lives comparing them and giving them some sort of complex, don't worry about that :-)
He seems to have grown so much in the two short months he's been around. He definitely doesn't seem as fragile as he was when he first came home. He's super smiley when he's awake and really likes to try and talk to you. His little cooing noises are very sweet. He likes to sit under his floor gym for 10-15 minutes at a time, but that's all he can take before he squaks and is ready to move away from the stimulation. He still likes to have his body swaddled when he naps, but we are leaving his arms out now because he is definitely trying to suck his hand and/or thumb. Overall he's just a really easy-going baby. He only cries or fusses when he's hungry or tired, and as long as he's not either of those he's pretty happy to be awake and watch the world go by.
