1% Baby

While my mother was in town for 10 days earlier this month she got this great picture of Lennon. It’s just the best picture ever! This is how fun he’s becoming!

Cutest Baby Picture Ever!

Well today marks Lennon’s two month birthday!

Wow! I can’t hardly believe he is already 2 months old. I remember when I was 7 months pregnant and getting to 9 months seemed like an eternity. And now, here he is, all old and grown up already!

Baby Lennon at 2 Months

Yesterday Lennon had his 2 month pediatrician appointment. This is the one where she gives him all his first shots! Oh no! Poor Lennon!

He took it like a champ. First they measured him: 23 inches. Then they weighed him: 13 lbs, 3 ounces. Big guy! (He’s gained almost 5 lbs in 2 months!) Then he sat around naked cooing and smiling at himself in the mirror while he waited for the doctor. When she finally came (and noted his developing flat head!) he started to get fussy. By the time she was done testing him, he was full on screaming. Mommy and Daddy got him to settle down with a pacifier and fall asleep – only to have the nurse show up moments later to stick him twice in the leg and make him swallow some yucky medicine. Boy was he pissed at us!

Fortunately he doesn’t hold a grudge… or his memory.. very long at this age. He was back to being pacified and sleeping in his car seat just a few minutes later. The rest of the day was a crabby blur for him.. a side effect of the shots. He even slept a full eight hours straight last night! While that’s something we’ve been looking forward to, Mommy and Daddy did have to admit that it scared them a little.

Today baby is celebrating and playing with Daddy and Nana while Mommy is at work. More pictures to come soon!
