Cameron James Spencer- The "Daily" Log

almost 2 months already!

It has been close to 2 months since Cameron was born (officially that date is Friday). It's hard to believe. Time goes so fast. He had his 2 month check up on Monday and is doing great. He's up to 6 pounds 9 ounces and is 18 3/4 inches long. His head is 36 cm around. None of those sizes register on the chart for a two month old, which is expected since he technically just entered the newborn stage. For a newborn, he would be in the 10th percentile for weight and length and 50th percentile for head size (He's going to be a genius, we knew it!)

Though in size he is like a newborn, he has actually started to reach some of his two month milestones, like smiling more and holding his head up for a few minutes when he's on his tummy (an amazing feat considering how big his head is in proportion to his body!).

He also received his 2 month shots on Monday, which he was not thrilled with. We did, however, find out that he really likes infant tylenol. He had some soreness from the shots, and was a bit fussy. When we gave him a dose of tylenol, he instantly calmed down, started smacking his lips, and sticking his tongue in and out of his mouth. We'll have to catch it on film sometime. Aparently our boy is going to have a sweet tooth!

Cameron meets a friend

When I told my best friend Katie that I was pregnant, she said, "You're kidding... I am, too!" As it turned out, she was due December 7 and I was due December 14. Well, you all know the story of when Cameron came into the world. Evelyn Wolfe also decided to skip her due date, and came on Cameron's instead. It was fun to get the chance to visit a little bit this weekend. Grandma Beth was glad that Evelyn was born, too. Since Katie lives in West Bend, it meant we spent some time at Grandma and Grandpa's house, too.
