Dr. Appointment

David had his 2 month check up today. He weighted 11 pounds, 8 oz, he was 22 inches long, and his head was 15 inches. He was 50% for weight, 25% for length, and 15% for head measurement. He also had his first shots and was NOT happy about that!!! I'm off to try to soothe him.....

Baby David Two Months Old

The big news this week is that David slept through the night!!! He has been doing it fairly regularly for about a week now. WOW...what a difference to his mom :-) This is a picture of him after his first full night's sleep....doesn't he look well rested?
He continues to enjoy play time on his play mat and we have had more play dates with Miles:


He has also found another toy....He is fascinated by his Pooh Mobile. I tried to put him to sleep in his crib but he is so enthralled by the mobile that it becomes play time. I guess we'll make the move to the crib at a later date.

He's getting big....I think the first picture shows just how big he's getting. He continues to make progress holding his head up during tummy time:


And of course, he continues to melt his mom's heart with his precious baby smiles......

We have our two month Dr. appointment tomorrow. He gets his first shots and I am absolutely dreading that!! I will post the stats from his weight and all after our appointment. I think he will be close to 12 pounds!!!
Please leave us a comment here so we know you visited the blog :-)!

Play Times

David is now 7 weeks old and continues to get more and more alert. He has started really enjoying his play mat and it has amazed me to watch im interact with the toys and mirror more and more every day. I can't capture that here but I've posted some pictures of him on the play mat for you:

He gets "tummy time" every day and is making progress in holding his head up....it's short lived now but gets better every day:

And of course this is how he controls his mom....I completely melt for a baby smile!!
We had our very first play date this past week.  My friend Amber has a son, Miles, who is about 10 weeks older than David.  It has been wonderful to have a friend with a child so close to David's age and I suspect this was the first of many many play dates with them :-)  Of course the boys mostly seemed to look at each other and do their own thing but it was cute to watch and good for the moms:
Although Miles is older than David they are just about the same length...Miles obviously wins in the overall size category :-)
Play dates are exhausting!!!!
David was completely sacked out after play date:
We will update again soon....
