2 month check up



Will had his 2 month check up last week and mister chunky monkey weighs 15 lbs. 5 ozs. He's 23.5 inches long. The doctor said he's growing perfectly and has great control of his head. Unfortunately we started shots at this visit and that was brutal for mommy and Will. Grammy (my mom) went with us for support because daddy was traveling all over the country last week. Will ran a very mild temperature the next day and by mild it never went above 99.8 and tylonel nipped it in the bud quickly. Michael was so upset that he wasn't there for bubba bear, but I informed him we've got several more of these to go and he can be there for the rest. The doctor said Will will start laughing and rolling over in the next two months. I can't wait for laughter, you can tell he wants to make noise when he smiles but can't figure out how yet. He wiggles his body and coos so I'm sure laughter is in his very near future. The rolling part i'm worried about, I watch him like a hawk now, no more leaving him on the changing table when I go get clothes from him closet. We still aren't sleeping thru the night, but are only getting up once a night so that isn't as bad. Will has made it clear he is like his mommy though, when he's tired he's tired and you better get him to bed or he goes crazy. I've tried to stretch his bedtime to later in the evening so he'll sleep later or longer but he has an internal alarm clock that says bathtime is at 7:30 and he wants to be in bed no later than 8:30. And if you don't make this time schedule he lets you know about it non stop. But I can't complain; that just means mommy and daddy get to go to bed early to0. Michael, Will and I are really starting to get each other figured out, which is making life a lot easier. We are not quite sure what life was like before him; he makes us laugh and smile so much; I think Michael and I finally learned the true meaning of happiness. What a blessing!!!



Here is daddy and Will matching for the very disappointing OU/Texas game. At least they looked precious!!!!

Here is Grandpa Mike and me getting ready for the football game!
