2 month check up

A couple weeks ago Caleb went in for his 2 month check up. He looked great! He weighed in at 12 lbs (68th percentile) and 23 inches (60th percentile). He also got several vaccinations, surprisingly he really didn't like the oral vaccination, which we knew if he didn't like that he probably wasn't going to like the shots at all! And we were right, poor guy cried and seemed shocked by the pain but was back to happy within a couple minutes. Our little Caleb is growing up right before our eyes. We can definitely see the weight gain and his increase in length. He is starting to coo constantly and is quite the smiler. We have a few games we play with him that involves him moving his arms and they are guaranteed smile-makers. He really is a happy child, only crying when he is hungry or fighting sleep. He is starting to grab on to things too! There have been a few instances when he has been in his carseat that he has picked up his pacifier on his own. He loves this colorful rattle he has and will reach for it as well. He is a dream to put down at night, we will say prayers then sing a song and place him down in his crib awake and he goes to sleep almost instantly. Now if we could just get to sleep longer stretches at night! He will go about 6-7 hours in between feedings but since he goes to bed around 8pm that means I am up at 3 or so then again at 6ish (usually his wake up time is 6:30 which really needs to be later!) lol . But we really love this guy, he is so fun to see learn and grow and such a sweet boy. Here he is after his 2 month checkup:
