Pork Chop

Look at those cheeks!!
Happy baby!
Rohn's 2 month appointment was on Friday the 10th. All in all it went well. The little pork chop has gained lots of weight and is very healthy. Shots were ok. I listened from afar in the lobby, since I didn't have the heart to watch my baby get manipulated. Jarrod said that Rohn made a surprised face when they stuck him with the needle and then the loud cry ensued. Our poor little man was a bit grumpy for the remainder of the day, but was doing great the next day.

Two month stats:
14.6 pounds ->95th percentile
16 3/4 inch head circumference-> 95th percentile
24 1/4 inch length -> 90th percentile

He hasn't laughed yet, but he gets super excited and squeals when he plays on his play mat. He doesn't sleep through the night consistantly yet. Instead he likes to surprise us every once in awhile with a nice 6 hour stretch.

Rohn is now 10 weeks old. It's amazing how quickly the time flies. He goes in tomorrow for his 2 month check-up. We are anxious to see how much he weighs since we can't imagine his cheeks getting any bigger:)
We spent the past three weeks in Alaska visiting Amber's family. It was so nice being there for that long. Time was spent hanging out with family and friends, hanging out in Anchorage and lots of relaxing. We are blessed to have the amazing baby that we have. He was so good on all 4 of the flights and all of the driving that we did. The pressure in the plane didn't bother him and he pretty much slept and entertained the people around us. We are either lucky parents or he is just easing us into the trouble that is about to ensue:)
In the past few weeks Rohn has started smiling and cooing and even laughing on occasion. He grabs onto toys and holds them and loves looking at anything shiny or colorful. He loves laying on his play mat and batting at his toys. The excitement in his little voice is so cute. When he is sitting in your lap he wants to stand up. He and daddy play a game where he holds onto dads hands and stands up quickly. He absolutely loves it!! We can't wait to see what he learns to do in the next few weeks...maybe it will be sleeping through the night :) Although last night he had a 6 1/2 hour stretch from 9:30pm to 4am....yeah for mom!!
After our appointment tomorrow we will update on stats.
