2 month check-up--my pork chop!

We went on Monday for our 2 month check-up. He is growing like a weed thanks to the good mommy juice :)! Here are his stats:

Height: 24.75" 95th percentile
Weight: 12lbs 14oz 75th percentile
Head Circumference: 38.5" 10-25th percentile (has daddy's small head!)

Noah is meeting all his milestones and more for his age (he'll thank mommy later for the therapy sessions!). He has great head control, can do a "mini push up" while on his belly and is smiling and giggling all the time. Mommy reads nursery rhymes to him and we sing silly songs. Noah knows the difference between night and day, but likes to wake mommy up every 3ish hours at night for food. We have good nights where we pass out for like 4 hours! He is quite the little piggy! A full nights sleep seems so far ago. Noah had 3 shots in his thigh and his rotovirus, but that was given oral which he sucked down, no problem! He cried for a couple seconds, but took all his shots like a tough little guy!

We don't have to go back to the Pediatrician until he is 4 months old for his next round of shots and check-up. I can't believe he is getting soooo big! My little man is already 2ft tall! Almost ready to ride Disney rides! Gonna be tall like daddy. Each day, Noah is doing something new and fun. Mommy is having a great time with him. Going to be sad to go back to work. January 18th, Noah meets his new daycare lady, Joan. She is great and I"m sure he will adjust just fine, it's mommy that is going to have the problem...Until next time.

Noah Bouncing

6 week check-up

Noah and I went to the OB and are happy to say mommy has passed her 6 week exam and is "back to normal"--whatever that's suppose to mean! It's amazing how quickly a mommy's body can recover from a birth. All my baby weight and more has melted away thanks to breastfeeding! Yay--I have my body and bladdar back!

Okay, now on to the star--Mr. Noah! He is changing so much! He's starting to sleep more at night, have regular naps during the day and continues to eat like a little piggy. He has gotten so long and cute little chubby cheeks and thighs that I love to kiss and eat. Thanks to mommy being a therapist, we practice our head control, stretches and playing on our belly! He is quite the strong little man, holding his head up and prefers to nap on his belly. Noah is also starting to squeek and coo more. Can't wait to hear what he really has to say! He is smiling more often and loves to "kiss" his puppy, Jasper. Thank goodness he isn't crying as much, now he just stares and is able to track mommy and daddy when we call his name. He loves his bouncer seat and will hang out in it and laugh So everyday is something fun and new. We're going for family pics on Sunday so watch out for the Pakulski-VanDeven clan photos!!
