Two Months Old!


Our little boy is already two months old!  He's growing and changing every day.  At his 2 month doctor's appointment today, he weighed in at 12 pounds, 1 ounce and was 23 inches long.  He has officially doubled his birth weight!  His weight puts him at the 60% for his age and his height is at the 50%.

Charlie is having some reflux symptoms which are making him really uncomfortable.  We tried all the options that did not involve medication but today, the doctor wrote him a prescription so we're really hoping this helps give the little guy some relief.  It's so hard to see him in pain and not be able to do anything about it.  He also had his first set of vaccines today and did well.  I was really dreading today and he was a champ.  He was hurting a little this afternoon but it hasn't been nearly as bad as I expected!

Charlie is doing really well with holding his head up and loves looking all around while we walk.  He's batting at toys and moves his arms and legs quite a bit.  The doctor said Charlie is right where he expects him to be developmentally.  As far as development goes, he is somewhere between his adjusted age of 3 1/2 weeks (his age had he been full-term) and his chronological age.

We are very proud of how far Charlie has come in the past 2 months!
