2 Months Old


Luke just had his 2 month check up at the doctors. He now weighs 13 lbs 13 ozs and is 23 3/4 inches long. He is in the 90% for his weight and 75% for his height. The doctor is thrilled with his growth and said he certainly is eating enough. He is also happy with his development of holding up his head for long periods of time, smiling, and starting to coo. He stated most babies get over lactose intolerance by 3 months of age so Laura will be able to go back to regular milk and dairy next month, which she is thrilled about! Luke got 3 shots and one oral vaccine. He cried a little when the shots were given but not for very long. He was a champ!

This was a big month of "firsts for Luke! It was his first- smile, road trip to PA, time meeting his Great-Grandmom Harbold, play date with Gabe Dickun, trip to the DC Zoo, time meeting Uncle Andrew and Aunt Kitty, and Easter! He was a busy boy!

Luke usually goes to sleep between 10:30 and 11:00 and will sleep for 11 hours. He wakes up anywhere from 3-5 times to nurse at night before waking up for the day. Then he is nursing every 2 hours all day long. He isn't on any nap schedule and will usually take 2-3 "cat naps" during the day that range from 20 mins to 1 hour long. We are enjoying all of his smiles and coos and are so excited to see what next month will bring!
