These Moments Called Life: Little A's 2 month check-up!

Well I have successfully been unsuccessful at posting more, one of my New Year's resolutions. Little A is growing and changing so fast, I need to be better at writing down the little cute things he is doing so I can keep record of them.

Any-who, little munchkin had his 2 month check-up a few days ago. I was quite surprised by how much he had grown, which I shouldn't be, he loves to eat, still nursing every 2 hours. Which reminds me, munchkin seems to not tolerate dairy very well. He was spitting up a lot, and after research and talking to the doctor, that seemed to be the culprit so I cut it out completely, then tried to slowly wean it back in per the doctor, but it always leads to an extremely fussy boy, so almond milk it is! Any-who he had to get more shots, 2 this time, and an oral vaccination. Once again, as soon as the needle touched his legs, this blood curling scream came out of his mouth and the tears started coming out of both of our eyes. Oye, will this ever get easier? His legs have little bruises from the injection site and he was not feeling very well the 2 days after, but thankfully, he seems to be his happy little self once again.

My last sonogram during pregnancy showed that Little A had an inflamed kidney due to what they think is urine backed up in it. They thought it would go away once he was born and could use the bathroom. At his check-up, his doctor could feel with his hands that it is still inflamed and he wants Little A to have an ultrasound to see if we can figure out what's going on. He said not to worry it could be absolutely nothing, something that will fix itself or it could be something where we need to take some action for it. Best thing is to figure it out now. So please be in prayer for him.

This past month held many exciting first. Of course, his first Christmas, where he was spoiled by everyone. His first New Year, where little Mr. didn't want the party to end and stayed up until 3AM, his way of saying happy new year mom! His first trip to Salisbury NC to his great-grandparents house. Side note, Little A is a wonderful traveler. He does so great on long car rides, sleeps the whole way, which is awesome so we don't have to stop. Luckily it only takes us 3 hours so it isn't too awfully long. Little A's first live sports event, we went to see my little sisters friend wrestle. His eyes were wide open the whole time. He was smiling and looking around at all the people. He loved it.

Little A is such a happy baby, everyone always tells me how happy and content he is. He is constantly smiling, "talking" and squirming around. He likes being tickled, and being naked, who doesn't right? I love seeing him become more interactive with us, it's so much fun.

2 month stats:

Weight - 12 lbs. 12 oz.
Length - 23 and 1/4 inches long
Diaper size - 1 (we had to go up a size a few days after his 1 month post)
Clothes size - Some newborn stuff still fits (his jeans which are my absolute favorite, and several newborn onuses) but the majority of what he is wearing is 0/3 months, but some of that swallows him.
Favorites- he loves when I load him in the jogging stroller and we go for a run, still loves bath time, and his singing Snoopy stuffed animal. And of course, when Mr. J does "the helicopter" with Little A, you can see his smile from across the room, too cute!
Mommy's favorite moment/s this month- I love playing with him and seeing him smile back, and giggle and "talk". He is paying more attention now to our dog Charlie and smiles when Charlie licks his toes. Christmas would have to be my favorite from the month.
