2 Months Old

On Thursday, Logan turned 2 months old. I know, I will probably say this for every age post, but I can't believe it has been two months already. Our little man is growing so fast!

With the 2 month birthday came the two month doctors appointment complete with a full round of shots, and not the good kind. He weighed 12 lbs, 5 oz which is the 70^th percentile for weight. He is 24 inches long which is the 86^th percentile for length. I do not know how infant length translates into adult height, but he may be tall. Matt jokes that Logan will tower over him. The doctor asked a lot of questions about his development and answered a lot of Mama's questions. The doctor said that he is developing great. Always what you want to hear as parents. Then came the shots. One was oral, and I think most of that ended up on Logan's face and chin(s) along with Mama's arm. Apparently he did not like the taste. Then he received three shots, two to one thigh and one to the other. He screamed, and Mama cried. I promised myself I would not, but I could not help it when he started to scream. Two seconds later he was in my arms, and both screams and cries were gone. I cannot believe we have to do this again in two months! At least then we will both know what to expect.

Here is what is going on or has changed with Logan over the past month. When he was born, he only had fuzz on the top of his head. He had real hair just in the back. I guess you would call it a baby mullet. But, he has been growing hair on top of his head. No more peach fuzz. He is grabbing objects, from ones that we put in his fist to those that he will grab on his own. He has finally begun to stretch out time between feedings. Thank goodness. Mama gets a bit more of a break during the day now. He is still sleeping for long hours at night. On average he now does 7 to 8 hours a night. He has become a chatty Kathy. He loves to talk. Even the doctor commented on how much he talks since he decided to hold a conversation with her. He smiles often. I love being able to get him to smile. Also, he smiles and talks each night now when Daddy comes home. Logan just grins and tells Daddy all about his day. It is so cute! Logan is now reading books. No, as much as we would like him to be, he is not a child prodigy (at least not that he has revealed). However, he does pay attention to the books in front of him as I am reading to him. We are usually able to get story time in during the day and then try again at night before bed.

His growth and development has been astounding to us over the past two months. Can't wait to see what he does next. 

Yes, Logan in the swing without crying!  He loves the bears on the mobile above him.

2 month old shot

Rocky felt left out so we included him in a picture.

Now he is sleeping in the swing!  This was the afternoon after his shots so I hope that is not just because he was so tired from the trauma.

One of Logan's battle scars.  There is a matching one on the other leg.

Proof of his hair (and that he can blow bubbles).
