2 Month Check Up

The Stats are in and here is how our little man has done during his first two months.

Weight: 11 lbs, 4 lb 8 ounce gain

Height: 23inches, 3 inch growth

Head Circ: 15 ¼, nearly 2 inch growth

Motor skills: right on target

Hand Eye Coordination: great

Physical and Social Development: wonderful

Cuteness: beyond compare. (He was flirting and smiling at the nurses.)

Gas: off the charts (Doc has put him on new gas relieving formula. His Gavazzoni/Leberknight traits are becoming more and more apparent by the day.)

For those of you interested in percentages, Sullivan has pulled up in the ranks from around the 5th percentile into the 30th for both weight and height.

He received his first series of shots today too. Of course our little Sullivan is an old pro at the needle pricking routine from his early days in the NICU. He cried a bit but stopped as soon as the needles came out. And because he was such a good boy he got an elephant sticker that he has proudly displayed on his onesie all day.

Dr. feels it was a great first two months for Sully. Now in his 10th week he is already off on his next growth spurt and new set of skills. Sleeping through most of today and gulping down larger and larger amounts of food to nourish his many daily adventures. He has even dropped one of his feedings at night sleeping nearly 6 hours at a stretch regularly…. so now Mommy and Daddy get even more sleep.
