Yeah Max! Our little mad-man-Max turned two whole months old today, and he's getting SO big. That's not just a mom speaking either- he really is a big little boy. He had his two month checkup and shots (boo-hoo!) last week and he was, drum-roll please:13.5 pounds (93rd percentile)
23 inches (65th percentile)
15 inch head circumference (18th percentile, poor little head)
The good news about all this is that, since his head is so tiny compared with the rest of him, he's doing a great job sitting up with help and holding his head up during tummy time. Other milestones: he's smiling in response to almost everything we do, he's started giggling, and he's making more pre-speech sounds ("cooing" to all those non-developmental psychology majors). Unfortunately, he also discovered the TV today when I left it on after his nap for background noise. As much as I tried to turn him away from it, he would search around until he could see it again. After telling my mom that there would have to be no more TV in our house, she told him he could come watch cartoons at her house. He LAUGHED like he understood, not even kidding. Ugh! I just feel relieved that he's getting in some happy awake time now. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the colic tunnel, and it feels amazing. It's so much fun watching his personality emerge little by little every day.
All-in-all he's a pretty amazing little person, and we're so incredibly lucky to have him as our son. Lots of Love Maximo, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!
