We went to our two-month checkup Monday and it was all good news! Weston is a happy healthy baby :)
…and speaking of healthy. Yes, he is eating WELL! Here are the latest stats:
Weight: 13 lbs. 11 oz.
Length: 23 3/4 inches
The Dr. said it's obvious he's breastfeeding, he's just exploding! He said he’s very healthy and is in the 90th percentile in both height and weight. He’s not too chubbs though since he’s growing a lot in length too; it’s proportional.
He also got his shots ( DTaP, Hib, Polio (IPV), Pneumoccoal (PCV), Rotavirus). I am kind of on the fence with Wes getting a lot of shots at once since they have been linked to Autism. I've been reading a lot about Dr. Bocks methods. He is a DAN doctor. He is not anti-vaccination but has a delayed schedule that I like quite a bit. I will probably delay his MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) shots since these are the 3 that are most likely linked to Autism.
Dr. Albrecht was asking about milestones for two month old and asked if he was smiling and cooing. I said, “oh yeah.” A minute later, he laid him on the table to check his stuffy nose and, sure enough, Weston smiled really big and cooed at him the whole time. Such a happy little guy. It made me feel good when he said, “You’re doing a really great job with him.” before he left the room.
...and we're sleeping! The past few nights, Weston has slept 6-7.5 hour stretches. I think we’ve turned the leaf! Woo hoo! He usually goes to bed around 7:30 which is nice because Clint and I can have some alone time (I can't wait for it, actually!). He'll usually wake up around 3ish to nurse and then he'll sleep until 6 or so.
