Two Month Check Up

Weighing in at 12 pounds 4 ounces and measuring at 23.4 inches, Xander is a growing boy!

He perfectly swapped his percentiles, going from 61st for height, 75th for weight at his two week check-up to 75th for height and 60th for weight.  With as much as he eats, I was surprised he went down in weight percentile, but he was due for his next meal, meaning he hadn't eaten in two hours when they weighed him.

Everything else looked wonderful.  He's right where he should be in all his communication, social, and motor skills!  Also the red bump on his head is in fact a hemangioma, and since it didn't develop until after he was born, it should go away by the time he's about 18 months old. 

At the end of the appointment, we went in for Xander's 2 month vaccines.  He got one oral and THREE injections.  Poor little guy!  He did so well, though, only crying when the shot went in, and calming down immediately after.  The tech said he's one of the toughest two month olds he's ever seen.  Good job, little dude!

The shots did make him a little fussy throughout the day, but the Baby K'tan sling that our friend Kim gave us was perfect for comforting my little man while still letting me do some stuff around the house.  I am a huge fan of baby wearing!!  I can even nurse with him in the sling which is such a great discovery.

Later in the afternoon, we headed up to ECAC for a training.  It was great to be back with my coworkers and made me feel a lot better about the idea of going back to work next week.

Our team mascot and our team supervisor.  Clearly, he's already a fan of Lynsie!

Little man tried to interrupt the training so Rob had to step in and practice a hold... call it the Soothing Baby Hold.  Worked like a charm!

Alexander FINALLY got to meet his buddy, Kasch.  Kasch may have enjoyed kicking and hitting Alexander as much as he did the toys on the mat, lol!  Both boys start daycare next week.  It will be a big adjustment for us mommies!!
