Yesterday afternoon we took G to the doctor for his 2 month appointment. He got some shots and we were very excited about seeing how much he'd grown. Amos and I put a little wager on his weight, A said 10 lbs 3 oz and I said 10 lbs 8 oz. He weighed 10 lbs 5 oz (darn it, if only I'd gotten 1 more ounce down him yesterday I'd have won!); his length was 23 inches (2 more than when he was born); his head circumference was 15.75 inches (2.25 more than when he was born). I notice the difference in his size most of all when I look at him in his car seat. There is a thing that surrounds his head in the seat and when we brought him home from the hospital there were a couple of inches on either side of his head when he was in the seat, now his head looks like it almost "fits." And I think we're getting to the point where we're going to have to adjust the straps on the car seat and move them up.
The doctor also checked his lung and heart sounds and gave him a clean bill of health and told us he looked just great, which is the best news. She laughed about the funny noises he makes, and we told her it freaked us out at first, as we thought it was some sort of respiratory problem. Now we all just agree that he's just vocalizing, and I think I'd freak out if he stopped doing it.

He looks more like Amos now. His hair even looks reddish, though I'm guessing that's the light.
his hair looks dark, it's just at that just coming in and very downy stage. It's funny how fast he lost it and it's coming back.
do you remember him well? I knew a baby that was born when I was like 7 and I remember him very well.
Sounds like he is doing very well.
Wow...he does look like Amos! He looks very alert. Looks like an old soul.
