2 Month Checkup

Peyton went to the doctor yesterday for his 2 month checkup. He weighs a whopping 15lbs,4oz. Whoa! No wonder my back hurts. Obviously, he's a healthy, growing boy. He got a few shots, and he was quite cranky afterwards, understandably so I guess. But the pediatrician was pleased with his growth and progress, so we'll go back when he's 4 months.

Sleeping-wise, he's doing pretty well at night. I swaddle him and put him to bed around 9 0r 9:30pm. Even if he's not completely asleep, he'll usually settle himself and fall asleep eventually with little intervention from me. He's been sleeping until 3 or 4am, when he's not necessarily awake, but he's doing and awful lot of grunting and groaning. Eventually he wakes himself up and Patrick gives him a bottle and puts him back down and he'll sleep until 6 or 7am, when he again starts with lots of grunting and groaning. For awhile, he was doing pretty good at night but wasn't taking good naps during the day. However, he's done a little better in the last couple of days and has taken some really good naps. At the risk of jinxing the situation, I'll leave it at that.

There is a big debate about who Peyton looks like. Does he have the good looks of his dad or mom? I've scanned in our baby photos so that we can do a fair comparison. Patrick is 3 months in his picture, Peyton is 2 months, and I'm not sure how old I am, but I look like a baby, so it counts. I still don't know who he looks like.....
