Jonah’s 2 month stats


So I was going to write-up a big to-do about Jonah’s 2 month stats…but really here are the highlights.

– 14 pounds 3 oz.
– all clear on his check-up.

That’s it. I’m trying to think of anything else of note… (eyes are fine, ears are fine, hips are FINE… got some shots, fussed a bit…but that’s about it).

I will put this kid down on the floor downstairs in most likely sub-60 degree temps and he is happy as a clam in thin jammies. His hands feel like ice and he still will fall asleep by himself looking at his hanging toys or his mobile.

I don’t know about his night-time routine. His cries simply don’t wake me up… (I know right?)
Apparently Mama will get up and feed him about 4am or so but that’s usually it lately. I have to ask Mama how he did.

Let’s see.
