Two Month Check-Up


Today was our two month check-up. Photo above is of the two squirts on the exam table. While Liam was four ounces behind Grace at birth, you'd never know it now!

Liam is now 21.25" long, and weighs in at 9lb 12oz.
Grace is 20.50" long, and weighs 8lb 11oz.

Developmentally, we've always been told we have to rank them on their gestational age--not their actual age. However, the doctor gave us a list of things 2-4 m/o's should be doing right now, and we're pretty much right on track!
  • Makes babbling, cooing sounds -- Just starting
  • Eyes follow moving objects; focuses closely on faces -- check
  • Head bobs when held sitting -- Liam definitely, Grace is starting to
  • Reaches for objects, may hold rattle briefly -- not yet
  • Rolls side to side -- check
  • Smiles; responds and enjoys people -- check, but still needs more progress
Formula got adjusted--so far they're much happier eating. No spit up to report. They each got two shots and one oral vaccine. Cried hard for a minute, then they were done.

Whew. The biggest relief is that they sleep well at night. We're only getting up once late night, then again early morning. Wouldn't be surprised if they start sleeping through the night within a couple more months, if they keep it up. Niiiiiiiccccceeee.
