Already!

Well, the little man is 2 months old already! I thought time went by quickly with Zoe, but now that we have 2 children, time is really flying!  Jack is such a good little boy.  He is pretty laid back and just goes with the flow.  He is a completely different baby than Zoe was.  He wants to be held and snuggled quite often.  He is still nursing every 2 hours (which the doctor said was "ridiculous" haha!).  He usually takes a pretty good nap for about 3 hours around noon and also sleeps from around 11:00-4:00 at night - other than that, he spends quite a bit of time awake.  He has learned to sleep through the chaos of our house (or of his big sister I should say).  He has really started to make good eye contact when we talk to him and smile when he looks at us.  Ryan seems to think he is more needy than Zoe was....I think he whines to be held to be protected from unexpected Zoe attacks.
He had his 2 month check-up yesterday.  Everyone kept asking how much he weighed.  I honestly didn't weigh him at all because I wanted to wait until we took him to the doctor. Well, here are all the official numbers. 
When he was born, he weighed 8lbs 12oz and was 23 inches long (we think the lenght measurement was wrong because at 1 week he was only 21 inches)
Yesterday, he weighed 14lbs 2oz and was 24 1/2 inches.  His weight was in the 94th percentile, height in the 90th percentile, and head circumference in the 93rd percentile.  He's a big boy :)
He did great with his shots and didn't really cry much at all.  He was pretty needs for the rest of the day and evening, but who wouldn't be after getting 3 shots!
Here are a few pictures of the big man (he wore this outfit for his pictures). Super cute! :)



 


And of course we need one with his big sister!
