Boone at Two Months Old

This is Boone at Two Months. This is the second installment in the "12-month onesie" series. He's growing so much and his personality is coming out more and more. He smiles a lot and now coos at us, too. He especially likes it when we sing to him. He really starts talking then! We are now down to only one feeding in the middle of the night. We give him his bedtime bottle between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. and then get him to bed shortly thereafter. He has been sleeping until around 3:30 or 4:00 a.m. Come on Boone... you're so close. Just a couple hours more so mommy and daddy can sleep all night! He is really easy in so many ways. Just like with Fenn, we usually put him to bed still awake and he goes to sleep on his own. Having our kids sleep in the bed with us is just not our thing. We value our sleep too much. But that's not to say we'll never let them climb in bed with us, because that can be really sweet. We just don't want to make it a regular, all night thing. Boone went to the doctor for his two-month checkup yesterday. He had to get his first round of shots. But he was a trooper and only cried for a few seconds. Three sticks in the leg is enough to make anyone cry.

These are his stats at two months (or 9 weeks) old:
Weight: 12 lbs. 14 oz. (75th %)
Height: 23.5" (69th %)
Head: 38.9 cm (27th %) Dan actually thinks the nurse didn't get a great measurement

Compare this to his stats at 3 weeks old:
Weight: 9 lbs. 12.5 oz. (71st %)
Height: 21.5" (70th %)
Head: ??? (39th %)

The little stinker gained 3 pounds in 6 weeks and grew 2 inches! It is hard to believe he is already two months old. If you want to see how he has changed over the last month, look over in the right-hand column of the blog under "More Photos of Boone". There's a link to his 12-month onesie photos. His face and legs have filled out a lot more over the last month.
