2 Months!

Happy Birthday to Kase! We have made it to the two month mark. Last night Chris took a few pictures in the "photo studio." It was right before nap time so he was having some naked time. He was laughing and being silly so we decided to snap a few pictures. In one of the pictures above he was practicing... "I love you THIS much."

So on this two month date Kase is now reaching for things and practicing his hand - eye coordination. He's not that great at it but he's getting better. He is working on focusing on objects too. It is kind of funny when he focuses on something, we move the object, then he goes cross eyed. I try to tell him that his face is going to freeze like that but he just laughs. He loves looking in the mirror. He is becoming much more active and can even kick and scoot him self one way or the other. I'm not sure if he is doing it on purpose yet but he seems to be doing it only when he wants something. I tried to tell him that he needs to be able to roll over and sit up first... but he's not listening.

We went to our 2 month Dr. appointment today. Our normal Pediatrician Dr. Benbow is on vacation in Africa right now so we saw another doctor in his practice, Dr. Purnell. We have seen Dr. Purnell before, he was the one that gave Kase a clean bill of health to release us from the hospital 2 months ago. We got all measured and weighed. He is still in the 95% for every thing. He was 24 in. long and 13.25 lbs. He did need a diaper change when we weighed him. By the size of his diaper that may have attributed to the extra .25 lbs :). Kase also has a condition on his face. It looks like a little rash but its actually created by hormones. It is similar to cradle cap but on his cheeks and neck instead of top of the head. There's really nothing to do to treat it other then put a cream on it like cortaid or something like that. It will eventually go away on its own once his hormones adjust themselves. He also had is first set of shots today. They gave an oral vaccine for Rotovirus. Its supposed to not taste very good and a lot of babies spit it up. Kase took it like a champ. He was hungry so he chugged it :). He was also given 5 shots. He had 2 in the right leg, which he took like a champ and didn't even cry. He just looked right at me. The next 3 were in his left leg and he started crying. By shot number 4 he was tied of it and pitching a pretty big fit. Once she was done and left the room Kase was all smiles again. We put his paci back in his mouth and went to the car. He did so well and I am so proud of him. I attached a picture above of his band aids from his shot. How sad is that, the nurse gave him purple and pink camouflage.

Our next visit to the Doctor is not until 4 months. By that time he'll be starting on rice cereal too so there should be some fun milestones between now and then!
