Two Months Old.....98th Percentile!!!

Baby Jack is growing so!!! He is two months old and is now holding his head up when on his tummy, laughing (yes, actually giggling), smiling at faces (he even smiled at our friend's four month old baby yesterday), he is enjoying baths, he loves being help up in a standing position, he is gurgling and babbling a bit, he loves his bouncy seat and the stuffed animals that hang above it, he nurses all of the time, he drinks 5 oz bottles when I'm at work, and is still the most beautiful baby in the world! At his two month appointment today, he weighed 14lbs 3.5oz (95%) and was 24 1/4 inches long (98%) and had a head circumference of 41 cm (75%). His percentages keep going up...so he is growing faster than average. He got his first shots today (four sticks!). And he cried and so did Paul and I. It was awful! He was so happy and laughing at Daddy and then he was stuck...and his little heart didn't know what happened...and he screamed. Poor little thing. He is not a chubby boy so there is not a lot of fat on his legs...and the needle was so long. We also have thrush (a yeast infection of the breast and baby's mouth.) It is terrible. Painful and itchy. But breastfeeding is going better....I am so glad that I am breastfeeding Jack. Daddy is home with him all day, so breastfeeding is "our" time to bond and be together. I am actually enjoying it. I am so glad we stuck it out...and it is obviously doing wonders for him...he is growing like crazy!!!
