Two Months Old!

One week ago today was Caleb's TWO MONTH BIRTHDAY. And how did we celebrate? Well, by going to the pediatrician and getting vaccinations. I didn't think the parental classic line, "You'll thank me for this later." would be used so early in infant life.

He cried, I cried, he ate, and then it was all pretty much okay. We did give him some acetaminophen a couple times when he felt a little feverish, but overall he did great.

The real surprise of the day was his weigh-in: 13 lbs, 7 oz! 90th percentile! Who knew I had a big boy on my hands?! I seriously would have guessed he was 10-11 lbs. He's grown 2 inches since birth (an inch per month - not bad!) and is now an even 2 feet tall (not that he stands, but you know).

Caleb has become an award-winning bubble/drool producer lately. Sometimes I just can't keep his shirt dry, no matter what I do. He also smiles and coos a lot, which we love. And NEWS FLASH! He's finally starting to endure, maybe even like his baths. Breakthrough.

He built up to 7 hours straight sleeping last week, which of course was heaven (except the getting up to check for breathing and to pump), but we were back down to 4.5 hours last night. So we'll see. My hope is to have him consistently sleeping 8 or so hours straight at night by the end of the summer. I hope he can do it. And will!

He still just loves to move and to be outside. He has his calm times too. The hiccups get him 3-5 times a day! They usually upset him which is sad. He's also suddenly fallen in love with his swing, which he couldn't stand a week ago. It's funny how things just change sometimes. He's still as cute as ever and we love him tons.

Here are some pictures taken last week on his two month mark.
