We went to see Dr. Mouchahoir today for Sam’s two month check up. I can’t believe how fast time is flying! Sam is doing great and we couldn’t be prouder parents. He had TWO shots this time and after our experience last time, we were braced for the worst. He did a much better job this time, or maybe we were just more ready for the tears.
Dr. M was very impressed with his head and neck control, which I was happy to hear. I have been slacking on tummy time lately because Sam hates it so much. But Sam was really showing off at the appointment. He even lifted himself up on his forearms!
Sam’s stats–
- Weight: 13 lbs, 13 oz (95th percentile)
- Length: 25 ½ inches (Dr. M said “off the charts” but wrote down 98th percentile)
- Sleeping habits: Eats at 11 pm and then wakes up at 7ish. Although he sometimes squeaks on and off starting at 5… The saving grace is that Sam and Dad get to spend some quality time together after the first feeding of the morning while Mom goes back to sleep!
- Favorite toys: infant chair (loves to kick to make the lights and music play), Lamaze spinning mat (helps make tummy time more bearable), mobile (smiles and giggles as objects spin and fall)
- Smiles and coos all the time. I love it! It is so rewarding to smile at Sam and have him smile back. I love when he gets his eyebrows going for the extra cheesy smiles
