It's amazing how much can change in the course of 2 months. Our little baby is already bigger - he's gained 3 lbs, 9 oz since he was born! He's grown more than 3" in length. Best of all, he's starting to be more expressive with us - smiling, pouting, cooing, gurgling, and making fun noises. He's started to mimic us when we make noises or faces. Everyone in the house is starting to enjoy awake time more and more.
We also had our shots yesterday and, honestly, I was feeling trepidatious. Not because I wasn't sure if we wanted shots; we do. But because I'd heard about babies and side effects from shots, and I had just celebrated that the peak of Gideon's fussiness had passed. We're finally able for him to sleep in the evenings before 10pm at night. Nick no longer has to walk laps in the house with him, strapped in to a carrier. And then, shots? I prayed and prayed for no fussing.
Other than the initial reaction from being poked 3 times, my little boy handled the shots like a champ! He slept a little extra in the afternoon when we got home yesterday, but other than that has been acting like his regular self. We're so thankful for no major reactions!
A few pictures for you at this time in his life... (okay, I couldn't decide, so a few is more like 6.)
