2 Months

Yes, Jackson is now 2 months old! He had his 2 month check up yesterday. He was such a good little boy. He kept smiling at the nurse and student doctor. When he saw his real doctor though (the one that delivered him) he started full blown crying. I guess he remembers him from the day he was born. Tough memories for the poor little guy. :)

The doctor said he was the size of a 4 month old. Jackson also had to get his shots. Those are not fun. The nurse kept saying how surprised and amazed she was that he was so strong. That's my boy!

Later that night, Jackson got really cranky. After screaming for 3 hours straight, we discovered that he had a 104 degree fever. Poor baby. We have been giving him Tylenol which has helped a ton. He still has a fever today, but it's not as high, thank goodness.

Here are his stats from the appointment:

Weight: 14.4 lbs (94th percentile)
Height: 24 in (83rd percentile)
Head circumference: 42 cm (90th percentile)

Some interesting 2 month old facts:

--Jackson HATES being burped. He will fight tooth and nail not to have to be burped. We have resorted to sticking a pacifier in his mouth to make him think he is still eating.

--He has turned into a grabber He grabs fingers, hair, shirts, etc.

--He loves fans. He is content to just sit and coo at them for 20 minutes. They are his best friends.

--He is a good bath taker. He doesn't cry (He doesn't smile either though. He is more concerned). He sleeps really well after he has a bath.

--Got his first cold and stomach bug. No fun for baby and Mommy and Daddy.

--Running water and a low pitch "Oooooh" will always make him stop crying. Fail proof.

No 2 month block picture yet. We will do one after he feels better.
