Russell at 2 Months

Russell went to his 2 month doctor appointment and weighed 13 pounds 13 ounces and was 25 inches long. He was in the 90th percentile for weight, 97th for height, and 75th for head size. We have another BIG boy!

At about two months he started to smile and coo. We haven't caught a full smile on camera yet, but more will be coming soon. He is a very content baby and usually only cries if he is hungry, poopy, tired, or alone. He loves being held, and I think there has only been once or twice ever in his little life that he has been inconsolable--and it usually only last for 20 to 30 minutes. He has been a pretty difficult nurser since about a week old and I have always been very concerned that he is not getting enough to eat--so the doctor appointment was a big relief, he is obviously growing. He has been improving in nursing, though, since about that time. He is starting to sleep through the night, going for 8-10 hour stretches on most nights. And he likes going to be early, usually between 7 and 9pm. Napping hasn't been as easy, but I borrowed a swing from my sister and he will take a lot of his naps in that. However, even when he has a bad nap day, I know that I probably won't have to get up in the middle of the night, so it makes it ok. He is such a sweet little guy--we all love him so much!
