2 Months Old?!!? Time is flying by!


Happy 2-Month Birthday to Austin!!! I can't believe my baby is two months already; the time has just flown by. We took him this morning to the pediatrician for his checkup. He weighed 13lbs. 2oz. and was 22 1/2 inches long. What a little meatball we have!!! His weight was in the 90th percentile, but heighth was in the 40th percentile. But we knew from the get-go that this kiddo didn't stand a chance at being tall. He also had to get three shot vaccines and one oral vaccine. I made Jordan hold him while he got the shots. It broke my heart to see him scream like that. But the nurse was really fast about it and then I scooped him up in my arms and he quit crying just like that. What a champ!! All he needed was his momma. :)

He's been staying awake alot more during the day, which I love. We have plenty of time to play on the playmat, have tummy time, practice rolling over, etc. He has been smiling more and more each day and has been cooing alot. He definitely recognizes me and my voice. And of course, Jordan loves his morning time with him before work and usually races home in the evenings to see him. And we usually go have lunch with Daddy once a week, too. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who is so helpful at taking care of Austin. Although, he does get kinda squeamish with some of the nasty diaper changes. ;)

We also went and enrolled Austin in daycare this week. It's so sad to think that I am going to have to leave him in two and half months. But I guess that's just a fact of life. Staying home is not really an option for me. We really liked this daycare and are confident that he will be in good hands. But geez, childcare is so expensive! Good thing we only have one kid right now; two just might break the bank!
