2 months old

I can't believe 2 months have already gone by (actually it was 2 months yesterday but we were busy unpacking). We went to his 2 month checkup today. Lincoln weighs 9 lbs 8 oz (15th percentile) and he is 22 1/2 inches (25th percentile). Lincoln's developmental specialist was worried about his weight since he is pretty small but the pediatrician is not too worried but we are going to start fortifying his formula to "beef" him up a bit. I think Lincoln is just always going to be small, his cousins Eli and Phoebe were the same way with their weight so we just have small babies apparently.
Over Thanksgiving, my MIL pointed out a knot on his Lincoln's neck that I had not noticed before so I asked my pedi about it. He looked at it and said it was a swollen lymph node and found a few more in his groin area. He decided to do blood work so any major infections could be ruled out. We will have the results sometime tomorrow. I am a little freaked out by it but I am trying my hardest not to think of the worst, even though I made the doctor tell me all the outcomes (bad and worst) that the blood work could tell. Hopefully it is some minor infection that he caught along the way and be cured with antibiotics. So with blood taken and 3 shots for immunizations, Lincoln has had a ROUGH afternoon. All he does when he is awake is cry this pitiful cry, so he is only awake long enough to take Tylenol and eat then back to bed!

Here are some 2 month pictures I took before his appointment today.

"Seriously Mom, what is that thing that keeps flashing at me?!"

Stuff I want to remember about Lincoln at this age:

• Lincoln is sleeping from 10-6 at night without waking up but we are hoping it gets better soon. He doesn't take a long nap usually during the day (short 30-45 naps) so we are working on getting a better schedule. His acid reflux could be part of this also, which we are working on as well.
• Lincoln is eating like a champ. He is on nectar and a half and can finish a bottle in 15-30 minutes. If Lincoln wakes up and his bottle is not ready when he is, then he is a little drama queen and lets you know that he is hungry!
• Lincoln is very curious about what is going on around him. He is pretty much always looking around and is losing the concerned look each day.
• Lincoln LOVES to look at ceiling fans. He can spot one in a room and will stare at it for the longest time. He will also smile and "talk" to the fan....a little strange.
• Lincoln is smiling more and more. I can usually get a smile if I sing or if he just woke up before he is hungry.
• Lincoln is focusing very well on faces and follows you around the room.
• Lincoln is getting more and more vocal. He will moan and groan if he is not happy with something and will "coo" at his toys hanging from his playmat. He still loves to look at his mirror. He tolerates tummy time much better now but is still not a fan of it.
• Lincoln had first road trip this November. He did great driving to KS.

Overall Lincoln is a pretty easy baby. He is figuring out the crying thing but once his needs are met then he is content.

Can't wait for all the firsts he will have this month....first time to meet his cousins, Eli and Phoebe and first Xmas!
