2 Months Old!

I look at Macaulay now, and think, "where is my tiny newborn?!" He looks enormous to me. He is now two months old. He is so darling I can't even stand it. Its fun to see his personality grow and develop. He loves it when anyone will talk to him. He coos like crazy, and smiles so big that his eyes get all squinty! He got pretty fussy there for a while, but he seems much more content lately. I am guessing it was just his tummy adjusting to formula.
We took him to go see Dr. Liddle today to get his 2 month check up, and of course his immunization shots. This baby sure has chunked up being on formula! He weighs 11.5 pounds, which is 50th percentile. He is 23.5 inches tall which is in the 65 percentile. I am so relieved that he has gained a healthy amount of weight. (No thanks to my breastmilk!).
So moving on to those immunization shots. How sad is it that I had to hold my poor screaming child down while the nurse stuck him 3 times? I am sure thankful he won't remember. So after he went through all that, he is completely miserable today. He seems so sleepy and restless. You can just tell he is in pain and uncomfortable. I have seriously held him all day. I just want him to be comforted, and want him to feel loved, and I want him to forgive me for holding him down! lol.
Happy 2 months baby boy! He has lost all of his hair, except for the patch in the back
                               Snuggles help this baby feel comforted for sure. (good shot of his hair patch)

    Poor baby boy :( And poorer mama! Do snuggles help the baby feel comforted or the mom? Probably both.

    Love this blog! You're gonna be a Plastic in no time!!

    Oh no, what happened with your milk? Ella was allergic to mine. Kinda sucked. He is getting bigger but SO cute! At least they get cuter and cuter and do more fun things...helps take the edge off the growing up part!

    @morgan.. I had a breast reduction last year. So I just didnt produce very much. I would nurse him for like 1.5 hours, and then he would chug 4oz of formula. It was so stressful. I nursed for 6 weeks, and now he just does formula. I am pretty sad about it. I feel guilty. But its either I nurse him and he starves and mamma has a meltdown evryday.. or we just do formula and I can have a healthy baby, and I can keep my sanity!!
