What a weekend! My 2 month birthday was on Wednesday and I feel much older. On Friday I had my 2 month appointment with the doctor and he agreed that I am growing healthy! I now weigh 11 pounds, 8 ounces and am 22 inches long. After the appointment, mom and dad took me to get my 2 month immunizations. This was not fun at all. I got 5 immunizations but luckily I only needed 3 pokes and some drops to swallow. I cried pretty loud while getting poked with the needles but not for very long. I was tired so mom put me right to sleep before the ride home. Later that night my legs swelled up a little where I was poked and I cried when either mommy or daddy accidentally touched those spots. TO help with that and a potential fever, they gave me some more of the grape flavored Tylenol… yum! Also that night we went to a small banquet so that daddy could be honored for being a senior. Mom said the food was good and there was a slide show that showed lots of funny pictures of daddy. As a gift dad received a pair of really nice athletic training scissors and a frame to put his certification certificate in. I was pretty good during the banquet and only cried once, but who could blame me.
On Friday I was feeling much better which was good because Auntie Andi and Uncle Adam were coming to town. They arrived while I was wide awake so they could see how cute I am. The whole weekend was very nice hanging out them. I was held a lot and the adults ate good food (trying to clear out mommy and daddy’s cupboards), watched movies and played games. I was sad to see them go but will fortunately see them again in just over a week. This coming week daddy has 4 finals while mom’s job is to pack up the place. We are planning to drive to California this next weekend sometime (it depends on how much I let mommy pack while dad is busy). So far I am not letting her get very much done because my naps are short and I love to be held while I am awake. Mom might have to whip out the sling and hold me in that so she can have both hands free (turns out I don’t like the sling either; I’ll have to remind her when she tries to put me in it).
Some more good news is that I began to smile! Well sort of. When Mom or dad kisses my neck or blows on my belly I open my mouth really wide. I know it is not really a smile but it is my first attempts at one. Mom is very happy and can’t wait for me to really smile and start laughing.
