2 Months Old

Today, Zach turned 2 months old! We spent the morning at Dr. Pat's getting 3 shots in his little legs and a dropper of meds to protect him from the Rotavirus. He cried, turned red and held his breath during the shots, but was easily calmed after I was able to hold him again. He now weighs 12 pounds exactly and is 24 inches long. He is in the 90 percentile for height (which means he is going to be very tall), 50 percentile for weight (which means he is right on target) and his little head (which is adorably perfectly round) is in the 50 percentile as well. He is on a 4 month old level with the things that he is doing at this age.

I am posting a picture of Zach at 1 month old and one from today so everyone can see how he is growing and changing. I did this with Luke, every month on the day he was born, I took a picture of him to see the changes he made from month to month. It was amazing to see how much he had grown and changed in a years time.

May 11, 2009-2 Months Old


At 2 months old now, Zach loves to lay in his bed and watch his mobile spin, he enjoys sitting in his chair and looking at his little hanging toys too. He is following our voices, turning his head towards us when we talk to him. He loves for Luke to talk to him, giving huge smiles (and Luke gets sooo excited when he smiles at him). He doesn't spend too much time on his tummy, but when he does, he is able to push up a little on his arms and hold his head up. He is wiggling all over the place, putting him to sleep, hours later, he might be wiggled down the bed to the other side!! He is still talking, cooing, ohhhh'ing, awwww'ing. I have also given him his "lovey" now and he loves it as much as Luke loves his. He seems to find lots of comfort with it if I lay it beside him when he wants to go to sleep. He is now taking 5 ounces of milk and 2 tablespoons of cereal.

So as you can see he is growing like a little weed and I have to admit, I don't like it one little bit!!
