Scott had his 2 month appointment today ... he is 14 pounds and 23 1/4 inches. The child is huge. At least huge compared to what we are used to! Will was always average...not Scott. He is above average - 90 %tile for weight, 60%tile for height. He is just big. He looks so big already. He loves to eat! 6 ounces for an 8 week old every 3 hours is a lot. He is still sleeping decent - goes to bed by 8:30 or 9:00, but has started waking up between 3 and 4 just to hang out. I hate to admit I have been doing what I always said I never would. He comes back to bed with me - he WILL NOT go back to sleep any other way... we have tried! I have to go back to work next Wednesday, and at this point I am going to do whatever I can do be fully functional, even if it means letting my child sleep in my bed for a few hours! Dr. Herrin assured me in the next 2 months when we start solids sleeping will be better.
Will is doing great. He is jealous of all the time Mommy and Daddy give baby brother, but he is learning it is part of life. He has learned if Mommy is rocking Scott, I can get away with stuff...like taking food out of the refrigerator, or getting in my closet. So exhausting. But he loves his brother without a doubt.
Life is good!
