My Baby is Two Months Old!

I can't believe how fast time flies! Talmage is already two months old. He had his two month check up and he is looking good and really healthy. He got his shots (ouch!). I just want to say my baby did not make a sound during the shots, but he screwed his face up in agony and didn't breath for about a minute. I thought a huge scream would follow, but NO he just took a deep breath and then went back to sucking his binky and squeezing my finger. He is weighing a whopping 9 lbs 13 oz. and is a 24 inch long bean pole. He is 85th % for his Length and 10% for his weight. SO he really is a bean pole.
It has been fun watching him learn to lift his head up on his own. Of course it just bobbles around most of the time. I call him my little bobbling bean pole. So his rash, gas and crying fits went away, but decided he would start spitting a ton. He spits up basically his entire meal every time. And this is after he is held upright for 20 minutes. He doesn't cry when he spits so we know it is not acid reflux. He is starting to sleep 5 or 6 hours through the night. Not quit enough... but I'll take it! He is trying to giggle but they just come out as little teradactyl squeaks. His smiles are my favorite. He has this half smile he does sometimes that just makes me ooze with happiness. He basically gets whatever he wants from me when he gives me that smile. I tried to catch it on camera, but as soon as I take it, the flash goes off and it scares him, so he makes wide eyed faces instead. I finally was able to catch it after a few tries.




I think he was going blind from all the flashes, so he wanted to get me to stop. So this is his cheesy, hurry-and-take-the-picture, grin.

He felt he had to make up for the cutsy stuff, so he gave me his best hard face picture he could muster. He also wanted to give me a "pound" not a "high five".

Until next time....
