Well, maybe not a giant, but we certainly have a big boy! Logan is two months old today and went for his two month check-up. Here are his "stats" on his growth:
Height: 25 inches (greater than 97th percentile)
Weight: 15 lbs., 12 oz. (greater than 97th percentile)
Head Circumference: 40 cm (88th percentile)
Yes, our baby is "off the growth charts" for his age according to his doctor. However, since his height and weight are both at about the same place above the growth chart, he said that Logan is perfectly healthy and proportionate. This reasurrance from the doctor made for two very happy parents. Logan also had to get three shots at this visit, which was just as hard on his parents as it was on him!
Here is what Logan has been up to this month:
- Smiling, cooing, and "talking" to us all the time, with his happiest time being about 6:00 a.m. :)
- Making eye contact with his parents and others who talk to him
- Controlling his head movement and holding it up like a champ
- Enjoying "tummy time" and pushing up on his forearms for a very short lengths of time
- Sleeping for about a 4 hour stretch during the early hours of the night
- Continuing to eat about every 3 hours with the exception of the 4 hour stretch when he sleeps
Logan and I went from the lake to Nashville to stay with my mom (Logan's grandmother) for a couple of nights, and we had a great time! Brian was even able to join us on the second night when he was working in the Nashville area. Logan, my Mom, and I spent Tuesday at the Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art where we enjoyed the Chihuly Exhibit of amazing handblown glass sculptures. Here are a couple of pictures from the day. You will notice the handblown glass moon in the background.
We are enjoying our little Logan so much and are settling in as a family together. We are so blessed to have such a sweet, healthy, happy baby!
Oh, he is just so cute! I just want to kiss on those cheeks! You both look so good and so happy in the pictures!
