Growing Up...and Out

Sam is starting to grow up and out, literally. He had his two month appointment this week. Minus the shots, he was a very happy baby and gave the doc a big smile when she came into the room. Marc and I had been betting on his weight, but neither of us guessed this much - he weighs in at a whopping 13 pounds 12 ounces and is 24 inches long both of which are in the 90+ percentile.

We have been very lucky as Sam is a great baby. He's happy all of the time and pretty easy going. He smiles and coos a lot and can roll to his side now (mastered that trick yesterday morning!). He's starting to sleep more - although the doc warned me that big babies continue to be very hungry babies - but he's made it 5 to 6hours between feedings in the past four nights and is starting to take long naps during the day (2 hours plus). We just live for today because his schedule could change tomorrow!






As for big sister, Bridgie, she is still pretty obsessed with him although she's getting a little more rough with her "love". Lots of big squeezes, trying to feed him pretzels, tickling his face, getting upset when he "won't hold her hand"...and my favorite "Sam hit me, mommy!" Maybe if she wouldn't get right up in his face!
