2 month stats!

BIG BOY!!!

Mama was right, 13lbs 3 oz - 90th percentile; 24 inches long - 80th percentile; head circumfrence: 40 cm - 50th percentile. I'm so proud of this little boy and thank God we've been able to take care of him and help him grow!


Campbell got 5 vaccines today - 2 shots and one oral (3 were combined into 1 shot): Polio, Pneumococcal disease, Diptheria/Tetanus/Pertussis, Rotovirus and Hib. He took them very well! He only cried while being stuck with the needle. Once daddy picked him up after he was okay. He was just a little bit fussy when we put him back in the car seat but fell asleep before we pulled out of the parking lot. Once again, I'm so proud!


We'll keep an eye on him for the next 48 hours to make sure there's no adverse reactions to the vaccines and we'll be good!


Everything else looked really good, the doctor answered our questions and everything seems on track. We have to get better at giving him tummy time 1 hour per day. We've definitely not been doing that but will definitely start. His Gamma will be given the word to stay on that when he starts going to her in June!


He goes back for his next appointment at 4 months. Time is really flying.

My 1st Mother's Day!

My 1st Mother's Day!

Our little family! I didn't get to sleep in on Mother's Day but I didn't really expect to. We got Campbell down for a nap and were able to have breakfast (it would have been in bed but C was sleeping in there) where Nick surprised me with a gift! I just expected a card but he went above and beyond with a 90 minute massage gift card :). I can't wait to use it.

Then we went to my parent's house where we invited Nick's mom to come for a BBQ. Here is Campbell with all the mommies. Nick's mom (Ya-Ya), my mom (Gamma), Me, and my grandmother (Gigi).
4 Generations!

Campbell and his mommy!

And, Campbell with his daddy!!
I still don't feel like a mommy yet but I love that little boy more than anything. I really never knew what it would feel like to have my heart swell just looking at him. He's beautiful and we're so thankful he's our healthy and (generally) happy baby boy.

2 Months!

Campbell James is 2 months old! I can hardly believe it, he looks so much bigger in just one month!


Things he can do:

  • Coo (finally caught it on tape!)
  • Hold his head up for a little bit of time while sitting up (assisted)/lifts it up when laying down (started at about 7 weeks)
  • Smile (started at about 6 weeks)
  • Seems to try to roll over
  • Likes to try to "stand" when being held up
  • Still keeps his hands in fists - we're hoping they open one of these days!
  • Has slept through the night (5-7 hours) - started at 6-7 weeks.

Here are his 2 month pictures. He goes for his 2 month check up on the 11th so I'll post his 'stats' then. He's definitely a chunky monkey, he's wearing size 2 diapers. We think he weighs at least 13lbs.




We've been working on trying to be in more of a routine so we can get out and do things a little more. It's working okay but definitely not a schedule of any sort. He still rules the roost!
I go back to work June 1st and I think I'm ready. Campbell will be in good hands with his Gamma so that helps me a lot. I'll miss him but I think I'll be a happier mommy with some adult interaction and brain stimulation! I look forward to knowing what I'm doing somewhere!
