2 month checkup

Conner's 2 month checkup was actually at 10 weeks. The doctor confirmed that he probably has silent reflux and recommended we switch to a soy formula. He now weighs 11 lbs, 13 oz! He's getting so big, we had to pack up his newborn clothes yesterday and break out the 0-3 month stuff. Awww...

Then we had to go to immunizations where he got his first set of shots. He was definitely a trooper, screamed when they stuck him and then settled into little whimpers and sobs once I picked him up. He kept whimpering all the way home until we snuggled in the rocking chair where he fell asleep. Poor little guy.

Check out these eyelashes! We have no idea where they came from, mine are decently long but nothing like this! I swear they get longer and thicker every day... I'm soooo jealous...

Conner's new boppy

If you don't know what a boppy is, it's a donut shaped pillow. Even though they are all the rage, we weren't planning to get one. However, they had one on sale the last time I was in the BX so I went ahead and got it thinking it'd be good for Conner to practice his lifting his head, and I was right! Check it out!

Oh, and we may need to get a second one... or else have extra covers on hand since it looks like someone else likes the boppy, too.

Awww...

Here's a video of Conner in his "jungle gym" dancing to the awesome music (sorry it's so dark, it was early morning again)...

"Finding Nemo"

An excerpt from Finding Nemo as told by Michael in a cheerful, sing song voice at bedtime:

"The two fish swam after the mask into the deep, dark water... even though they were physically incapable of withstanding the pressures involved... They found the mask and read the address 'P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.' After an encounter with an angler fish, Marlin and Dory quickly swam away... even though rapid decompression would surely kill them, but only if they were lucky. If they weren't they would develop a condition called the bends where gas bubbles are released into their bloodstream and joints. If they were very unlucky, it would completely destroy their brains! They would be an empty, hollow, husk of a fish... living out the rest of their lives in pain and suffering. :)"
