2 Month update

Elijah had his 2 month check-up on Thursday (over a week late since we were in Texas). The doctor says he is quite the perfect little chunker. (I think those were the exact words). He weighed in at a whopping 13 pounds, 15.5 ounces -- this is essentially rounded to an even 14 pounds, but I wanted to be exact. He has almost doubled his birthweight. He is 23 3/4 inches long...which means that he's grown 3 inches since birth. He got 3 shots, which were pretty unpleasant for both baby and mom. I've never seen Elijah scream his little head off quite like that..but he settled down quickly with some snuggling and some milk.

We've all had the rounds of sickness in our household. Bruce had a cold for close to a week while we were home (which he got from his brother Craig..thanks Craig). Now Morgan has a mild cold and a pretty nasty case of Pink eye. Elijah also has a cold and gets pretty congested when he sleeps. I went all over town trying to buy a humidifier the other day and NOBODY had one. We ordered this cute frog one from online, but it's still not here. By the time it comes, we'll all be feeling better. Elijah has also had some low-grade fevers (either due to the cold or the vaccinations) so he's been pretty miserable and a little fussy at times. Understandable. Overall he's doing really well with being sick.

He's sleeping at night MUCH better! From 10p-6:30a most nights, sometimes waking up once to eat overnight, sometimes letting us sleep the whole time!!!! What a relief!
