Micah is 2 months old!


I took Micah in for his 2 month checkup today!
He weighs 11 pounds, 12.6 ounces (50th %ile), is 22 1/2 inches long (50th %ile) and his head circumference comes in at the 25th %ile.
He coos, smiles, makes lots of spit bubbles and is most famous for his "horsey sounds". He enjoys being held, nursing, watching his sisters dance and looking at himself in a mirror. He doesn't mind his car seat (unlike his sisters). Micah is happiest on his changing table where he has a "captive audience". He is ticklish on his sides and feet. Micah had a life time record of 5 straight hours of sleep last night (after crying for 2 1/2 hours for an unknown reason). He is typically a pretty easy going guy...except during his "witching hours" between 8 and 11pm. We think he is just no able to accept that the party is over and the rest of the house is asleep...he loves the activity.
Ava and Flora most enjoy petting his head, feeding him his bottles and putting on performances (in which Micah plays "audience member"). They do not tolerate any crying and are quick to find a binkie (which Micah still is not a fan of) or they simply talk and coo to him until he calms down. Flora always says..."Ohhhh...Micah Mr. Man...Ohhh" in her soothing mothering voice.
He is our joy!

Happy 2 month birthday Micah! So glad to hear be loves nursing (which means you have been successful, right?) *smile*.

I am a child passenger safety technician, so if you ever have any questions about car seats, just let me know - 90% are used or installed incorrectly, so if you have not had your kids' seats checked, it's always a good idea to do so.
