Two Month Weigh In...

Who needs a "gaga" when you have a thumb. A rare moment of thumb sucking caught on tape.






















Mommy and Daddy's little helper!

















It was hard work getting poked three times this morning at the doctor!


Tessa is such a great big sister! She helped take Nolan to the doctor this morning for his two month appointment. She did a great job helping out but a bit nervous when it was time for Nolan to have his shots (3 of them...so sad! He had a difficult time getting our breath back a few different times today at the appointment which was SOOOOO scary. The nurse didn't seem too concerned but I was about to scream). Tessa hid in the corner until she came running over to hold his hand saying to him "you are okay buddy". She was a very good mommy's helper today at the doctor!


Nolan weighed in at a whopping 9 pounds 1 ounce!! Go Nolan! Unfortunatley, his weight and height are off of the charts but his head is on the charts in the fifth percentile. We are used to being off of the charts with Tessa...but now we are off of the charts in the other direction. :) He is very much acting like a newborn, which is expected. We had to say no to a majority of the questions that were asked today regarding what Nolan was doing at 8 weeks of age. I'm going to keep working on that smile though. I'm going to get one someday soon. We aren't worried about him catching up so don't get me wrong when I keep saying that he is acting like a newborn and not doing what an 8 week old should. Even full-term babies have a difficult time always doing what they should at a certain age. I'm just giving the details, that's all. If he does have a difficult time catching up to his age, we won't talk about it when he can understand what is going on. Until then, I think it's okay to verbalize what's going on. He's perfect in our eyes (or course Tessa too) and so proud of him and how far he's come. This little guy has been through a lot in his eight short weeks of life. Not to mention that for one month before he was born that the "water in his swimming pool was constantly being drained out". No one wants to swim in a pool with a leak at the bottom! That would be hard work. :)
