2 months old



Dear Michael,
You are two months old and growing so fast! We went to the pediatrician today for your two month checkup. You were very brave and only cried for a few seconds after you got your 3 shots in your little thighs, well...maybe they aren't so little but they are too cute and I love to squeeze them! Below are two self-portraits I took since Daddy had a meeting and couldn't go today. He is usally very good about going to all pediatrician appts. but couldn't help missing today. He promises to be at all of the rest!



So Michael Scott, what are you up to at 2 months old?

You are 23 3/4 inches long (75th percentile)

You weigh 12 lbs 5 oz (70th percentile)

Your head circumference is 15 1/2 inches (30th percentile)

You wear a size 1 diaper

You wear size 0-3 month clothes

You have SO much hair and I don't think it is going to fall out like James' did. I looked at my baby pictures and I had crazy hair that stuck up just like yours! I will have to scan the picture and post soon.

You are so strong and lift up your head and turn it from side to side

You love being on your tummy

You kick your legs and move ALL the time

You have the sweetest smile and love to talk and smile when on the changing table

You are a great eater and wonderful sleeper. You go to bed at 9:30 p.m. and wake up once around 4:00 a.m. to eat then go right back to sleep until 7:30 a.m. or 8:00 a.m.

On Tuesday Mommy has to go back to work and it is going to be so hard to be away from you. Grandma-ma will be coming over from Fort Worth every day to take care of you for a couple of weeks and I know you will be well taken care of and most likely a little spoiled! You will start Brookhaven in April and go to school with your big brother. All of the teachers can't wait for you to be there. Mommy will be counting down the days until we get to spend summer together!

We love you so much and can't wait to see how you grow and change this next month!

Love,
Mommy
