Henry had a big day today-he turned two months old and had his dr. appointment complete with shots :( He was very brave though, and only cried for a little while (I kissed his booboos and now they are all better). He has some wonderful people taking care of him at the clinic-we are very lucky.
It is hard to believe that two months have already gone by, but then, it isn't when I consider all the sleepless nights and the fact that Austin began to absent-mindedly pat me on the back the other day-yes that's right-he tried to burp me. And as we were taking our road trip this weekend (which Henry slept through-whew) we were looking for something, I can't remember what, along the side of the road, and when I spotted it I said "there it is!" in that high-pitched baby voice you use when speaking only to babies...so I believe we have become, or are well on our way to being completely acclimated to parenthood. At least we like to think we are, I have a feeling though, that as soon as we believe we have a routine or a rhythm figured out Henry will decide to change the beat :) He did, however, sleep for seven hours straight last night! I woke up feeling like I could run ten miles uphill. Amazing! We will see if this will become a trend-I'm crossing my fingers.
And oh yes, how can I forget, the other details from his doctor's appt. Henry is now 23 inches long (he was 20 when he was born) and weighed in at a whopping 13 pounds and 5 ounces, which, I guess puts him in the 90th percentile....so bottomline-he's a big boy. In just one month he gained four pounds and grew two inches! He's already in most of his 3 month outfits and we're getting ready to move up a diaper size (crazy the things I find so fascinating now). Not only is he developing a pudgier appearance, but he's beginning to develop a sweet personality as well. He's beginning to talk to us, smile at us, hold his head up high, and recognize faces and voices. He loves to be read his books. And while Henry is growing, our knowledge is increasing too-for example, I can get poop stains out of just about anything :) haha
On another note we had a great trip to Minn. to visit family. Austin and I went on the first date we'd been on in a long time while Henry played with his aunts, uncle, and grandparents. They didn't complain at all about having to watch him while we took off-imagine that :)
