2 Months

Ashton at 2 Months

Wow, how time flies! I cannot believe my sweet baby boy is 2 months old. We are loving every minute and trying to take it all in. We went to the doctor today for his 2 month check up and everything checked out great. He is growing like a weed and we are no longer concerned with his weight. Ashton did great with the vaccines! His mother on the other hand was a nervous wreck. I cannot believe that I use to give thousands of shots a day at my former job without giving it a second thought. When it's your baby getting them...it's a whole different story!! It broke my heart to see him scream out in pain, but I just kept telling him it was all because we loved him. Right?!?!?!

John Ashton's Stats:
WEIGHT
11lbs 9oz. 50th percentile
LENGTH
23 3/4 in 80th percentile
HEAD
15 1/2 50th percentile

Ashton has really changed over the last few weeks. He is wearing 3-6 month clothes due to his length and he loves to stretch those long arms and legs! He will actually lay on the floor and entertain himself for a few minutes! Woohoo!! He loves for us to talk, smile, and read to him. He is really smiling a lot ( a smile that will absolutely melt your heart) and making lots of fun sounds! I think he is really close to laughing out loud too. Over the last few nights he is sleeping better! He is only waking up once during night and he has even been taking a 3 hour nap during the day. Of course, it helps that we are swaddling his long arms nice and tight so that he doesn't startle himself. The sound machine seems to be helping quite a bit too (thanks MiMi for the suggestions:)!! He may be long, but he still loves to curl up in a little ball and cuddle...you know I'll cuddle with him whenever he wants!!

I Love Bath Time!!

We thank God everyday for blessing us with this sweet baby boy! I am sad that he is growing up so fast but I am so excited for all the new things he is doing and going to do. Thank you God for choosing us to raise this precious boy!
