Carson's 2 Month Update

Carson went in for his 2 month check up today. His measurements were good. He weighs 11 lbs 6 oz now. He is right on track--except his height. He is in the 95 percentile for that one! He is now 25 inches long! He was 20 when he was born. He's super long. It's a stretch to get his clothes on. We've had to go up to 3 month clothing for some items although it looks like he is swimming in some of those. His mama thinks he's going to be a basketball player. He's got loooooong fingers as well.

Here are some new things Carson has been doing:

-He smiles a ton!

-His cry of "Maaaaa" has now turned to "Mooooooom," "Moooooooooooooooom." It is the sweetest thing. When the nurse was checking him today, he let out this famous cry. The nurse looked up at me and said, "He just said mom!" Yep. That's my little boy. She then had to tell everyone in the office what she had just heard. It was adorable.

-He pulls out his frowny face more. It breaks my heart. Picture is below. 

-Carson has grown out of his alertness stage. He now must take a nap. No more laying content for hours on end. Thank goodness for that one.

-He still loves getting his diaper changed. Sometimes I change him just to calm him down. Other times I'll turn on white noise. Cory hates that, but it totally works!

-His hair has been falling out some.

-He started this new thing that I absolutely hate. Sometimes he doesn't realize he is hungry. I'll try to feed him but he'll yank his head back and refuses to eat! No matter how much I try, sometimes he just will not eat. He will kick and scream and the second I pull him away from me and lay him down, he starts smiling at me! Little stinker. So I have to wait a few minutes, then try again.  

-He doesn't like his paci as much as he used to. He will only take it every once and awhile. This can be a good thing and a bad thing. 

Here are some pictures we have taken the last month:

You've got to have a sleeping picture, right?
