James went for his two month check up today. He got a great report and showed off his smile for the doctor. Of course, he did not enjoy his four shots but was a pretty good sport. James is now 10 weeks old. He weighs 13 lbs 13 oz and is 26 inches long. This puts him at the 90th percentile for weight and he is off the charts for length. What a big boy! I must confess we are not sure where this impressive height is coming from. My mom says that she had some pretty tall family members and my granddaddy was tall. Who knows if it'll stick! We often laugh about his big noggin which also measured in at the 90th percentile. He just has a big brain in there! :-)
The last few weeks have been wonderful. James is SOOO smiley and happy. He will "talk" to anyone who will listen including the animals on his mobile and play mat. I could just look at him all day. He is so cute and cuddly!
Last weekend Granddaddy came for a visit. Nana was at a quilt retreat with her best friend Alice. We loved seeing my dad interact with James. It was really precious. I got a kick out of seeing this super soft side of my dad come out. It gave me a peek into how my dad must have been with me as a baby. Granddaddy watched James Sat. night and Daniel and I went to dinner and a movie. It was nice to have a date night. We will be going to Houston in a few weeks and Nana can't wait to see James again. She really missed getting to see him this last time.
The other big news from this week is that James went to his sitter Maria for the first time. It was a positive experience. I dropped him off and he stayed for an hour. I am going to take him one day a week until I have to go back to work and build up the time so that it is not such a shock for him (ok, for me!) when I have to return to work. I have one month before I return to work. Maria was great with him and I know he will be in good hands.
We will post more soon!
