On Thursday, January 16, Spencer turned 2 months old! We had his 2 month checkup (an shots) just before we left on our trip.
His stats were:
Height: 22.25 in
25%
Weight: 11 lbs 12 oz
46%
Head circumference: 15.5 in
66%
The doctor kept commenting on what great head and neck control he had for his age which is surprising because he hates tummy time and we don't do it every day :/ She also told me he looks like a Spencer...whatever that means, guess we did pick the right name after all!
He got 3 shots which I was very worried about since my sister warned me she always cries when her kids get shots. I did get teary eyed but that was it. And Spencey cried but not his blood curdling scream I was expected. I just held him and cuddled him for a minute and he was fine! Didn't even need to nurse to calm down. The receptionists were really loving on him at this appointment too and as we were checking out asked if they could hold him, it was really cute and they were really impressed to learn he had just gotten shots because he was so mellow!
Spencer is getting so big and has been doing lots of smiling lately! And just this week he has started babbling and cooing at us which is my new favorite thing! In Boise he also started sleeping for 7+ hours at a time. That has been awesome! He is starting to outgrow most of his newborn clothes which is so fun to see, and he has lots of cute clothes he should start fitting into soon! He still loves the bath and loves to be held, in Boise we also found out he loves the bouncy seat my mom got so we took it apart and brought it back to Waynesboro with us!
He is now 10 weeks old and alert for much of the day, he is not the greatest napper some days, but other days he can sleep for 4 hours in the afternoon! He is still not a fan of his own bed. We also think he may be already be teething, he's been a little grumpy and congested and just not his normal easy going self for a day or two, so I guess we'll know for sure in a few days!
We sure love this baby!
