That's right, my little man is 2 months old. Time really does fly (when there's a lack of sleep). So, his 2 month appointment was yesterday. (oh, and I went alone with the two boys and I made it out ALIVE! woo!) Anyway, here are his stats: 11 lbs 6 oz (50 %tile- so average), 22 inches long (20 %tile- so short like mommy), and his head was 39 centimeters (50 %tile- average). The doctor seemed pleased with the things he was able to do, and Matthew even gave the doc a giggle, which was kind of cute. He did receive 4 shots and an oral vaccine. Sadly, the poor little thing had a slight reaction to them, and had a fever for most of the night; didn't want to eat, for most of the night; and was super fussy, all night long. Mommy is going on very little sleep today.
Oh well, the joys of parenthood! :)
Lastly, he also has something called an umbilical hernia that from what I hear is actually quite common. It's not something they fix, unless it begins to cause problems or unless we decide we want it fixed, for cosmetic reasons. I'll take a picture of it later today and post it. It's actually kind of cute; it looks like he has a big ol' outtie! :)

Nana's beautiful boy is growing up too fast! You are so precious!
Love you baby!!
Nadia had an umbilical hernia, too, and we were told the same thing about not fixing it unless it poses a problem or bothers her. In her case it has closed up on its own, although she still has a bit of an outie! cute! Oh, and I know someone that did need the procedure, and it was a piece of cake, no big deal at all.
I'm glad to hear he's doing fine, even though y'all had a rough night.
Aww! What a cutie. Sorry you guys had a rough night.
Foo had an umbilical hernia too. I think the dr noticed it at about 2 months also. Her's healed up fine on its own by about 18 months. However, it got BIGGER before it went away. Bigger than a golf ball, smaller than a baseball. It was kind of crazy looking but she is just fine. :)
Happy 2 months, he gets cuter each time you post a picture. Has big brother made him giggle yet? Thats the best feeling
