Baby Milestones -Two Months

How fast they grow up...I didn't believe it until now that babies really do grow fast. Ollie now weighs 13.5 lbs, and measures 24 inches tall. He's got the most chubby baby legs, they now fit into the size 2 diapers.

The past months he continues to surprise me each day with tiny little improvements in his ability to lift his head up, look around, and moving in a swimming motion when he is on his tummy. He is able to see better now, so he's constantly looking around his surroundings with a fascinating look on his face.

The most exciting part of the day for me is when he wakes up in the morning. After his first feeding, he gets a little tummy time by sleeping either on Chris's chest or my tummy. Then, it's off to his room where he lies in crib and talks to his "animal friends", a mobil Chris picked up for him. Oliver gets so happy and talks to his favorite "yellow bird" and moves his arms and legs like he wants to run after them. It's so sweet to see him with a big smile.

At his 2 months pediatrician appointment, Oliver showed off his ability to hold his head up high to Dr. Cohen. He also was showing great horizontal tracking with his eyes. That day, he got his first set of vaccination shots. We went to the doctor's office prepared with a bottle of milk and his favorite toy. The nurse was very quick with the shots. Oliver cried a little when the shots went in, but was able to start drinking the milk and forget about the pain. Luckily he didn't have much reaction to the shots and wasn't too fussy. We were so proud of how well he did.

Ollie has also been drooling a lot more lately, maybe signs of pre-teething. He also discovered new sounds he can make, which is more higher pitch than before. The first time I heard it I thought he was hurt, but then realize, he was laughing.

Each day I take snap shots of him with my iphone and email them to Chris with the subject line called: Now. He's posted them on our baby blog Check it out! Oliver has to be the most photographed baby!

More to come...
