I can't believe Maddie is two months old! Yesterday he had his two-month check up. He weighs 14 lbs 15 oz (90th percentile) and is 24 inches tall (85th percentile). They gave him two shots, an oral immunization and a foot prick test. I felt so bad for him and of course, I teared up. I felt like he thought I was betraying him and not protecting him like I'm supposed to. But he was such a good boy and only cried for about a minute. Then he went back to being happy, playing and kicking his little legs. The nurse and doctor both commented on how "big" Maddox is. The nurse called him "solid" and the doctor said that Maddie is going to be a football player. Maddox has a little bit of an umbilical hernia but the doctor said there is no reason to be concerned. Maddox has been sleeping in his own bed during some nights and sometimes during his naps. He still struggles and would much rather sleep with us in our bed. He is always happiest in the mornings and smiles all the time. Maddie loves his swing and I have been putting him in his little stand-up saucer toy and he likes that too. He has been following me with his eyes when I walk around the room and recognizes faces easily. He also watches TV and turns to look when he hears noises or voices. He is growing up so fast! Maddie also loves to stand on his feet. His legs are getting so big and strong. We love our little boy and feel so blessed that he is so easy going.
