2 Months old!

Alright so I'm over a week late posting this, but hey, it's here ok?


What would a 2 month old post be without some cute pictures. Here is the "whoop whoop I made it 2 months and my brother hasn't seriously injured me yet" picture. (seriously, childhood playing is top of my injury worry list when it comes to a rambuncious pre-schooler and a newborn baby.)

Raise the roof!

At her appt for her shots she was 23 inches long, and coming in a  whopping 12lbs 9oz. She is in the 90th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height and head circumference.

Look at this smile. Seriously. I just want to snuggle her all day.

Mackenzie is such a happy baby. If she goes too long between sleeps she gets super cranky though. She's at the point where she is trying to stay up more but still needs more sleep. She absolutely loves the ceiling fan. She could be crying and fussing but lay her on our bed and she will stare at the fan and coo. It's so cute! She also loves her mobiles. There is one on the swing she will stare at, and now that she's in her crib she will lay and coo at the one in her room instead of nap.

So, here is short video of her cooing at the fan. Then she gets the hiccups. (like always)

And finally, here is a little comparison of Austin at 2 months and Mackenzie at 2 months.

(also note how I had way more time on my hands with his 2 month old sign. lol)

2 Month dr's appt.

Today was Austin 2 month appt at the dr's. He now weighs 13lbs 14oz. According to the dr's measurments he has shrunk in length. (which I know isn't true) How the dr measures the length is to lay the baby down, mark where the head is then stretch out the foot and mark it then measure the paper underneath. That way there you don't have to try and stretch the baby out and keep him still. His head is 41 cm now. I asked the dr to check out his super dry head and he said to put either vaseline, baby oil, moisturizer or lubriderm on it and see if that will help it.

Then we went for his shots. It didn't help he was starting to fuss because he was getting hungry. I was in such a rush this morning I forgot to grab his bottle to take with us. It was already made, just not packed. So he got his 2 needles, one in each thigh. And he cried. He cried so hard that he produced his first tear. It was kind of sad that he had cried so hard to get the tear. A lot of people (including our dr) say that the shots are harder on the parents than the baby. I have to say I did pretty good. Austin however, isn't doing so great. He's pretty grumpy. They warned me that he could get a low grade fever from the shots and to give him tylenol. He's still pretty grumpy with the tylenol so this could be a fun night. Hopefully he's so exhausted from the day that he just sleeps and doesn't fuss all night.

Other than that we are good. I've got to run though, Austin is fussing. I think it's time for nap bottle then bed.
