Two Months Old

So, I don't have the pictures ready to upload yet, but I thought I should update on the last couple of days and add the pictures soon.

On Tuesday, we went to get Joshua's first professional pictures made. A woman in Nicholasville had been recommended to us...then we found out she lives on our street. That means we could feed him, dress him and just walk down the street to capture that happy mood. The pictures turned out wonderfully. Here is the link: http://www.babyboophotography.com/, then type waldroup (all lower case), then type your email address. He is just too cute...if I do say so myself.

Yesterday, we celebrated his two month birthday. He had his 2 month checkup, which went well. He had grown two inches since his last visit to 22.5 inches. He weighed 9 lbs even, which is on the low side as we expected, but the doctor didn't seem concerned since Joshua is eating well and doing well overall. The doctor did say that we could go ahead and start him on some rice cereal if he would take it. Andy and I gave him his first batch last night, and he loved it. So far, he's loved about anything we've given him to eat...breastmilk, cereal, his vitamins, gas drops, Tylenol, and even the oral vaccine :)

He also received his first round of shots, which actually went fairly well. Mom mentioned on the way to the doctor's that she had given us Tylenol before our well visits to help with soreness afterward. We didn't have any with us, but we mentioned this to the nurse who said they'd be happy to get a dose for us. After he got his shots, we immediately gave him the grape Tylenol...which made him instantly quiet. Like I said, he loves anything with a taste to it :). He was a little sluggish yesterday afternoon, but really didn't have any other symptoms.

He slept wonderfully and ate more cereal this morning. He seems to be doing great. We feel so blessed.
