Happy Two Month Birthday Cavin!


We celebrated Cavin's 2 month birthday this past Saturday. TWO MONTHS! What happens at his two month check-up? Shots. It is a darn good thing Mike decided to be there to support his son on the big shot day, because I needed it. There were three tough people in that room and I was NOT one of them. There was the mean nurse with the really long needle. There was Mike who had to hold Cavin down and talk him off the ledge. Then there was Cavin himself who screamed bloody murder after the first shot, to which the nurse replied "okay, this 2nd shot is going to sting him a little bit so he is going to cry even harder". Uhm, excuse me, that's impossible. Well, apparently it isn't. Cavin cried so hard he made no sound. Did you think there was such a thing? Me neither.

And where was I during all of this?? Standing a few steps back bawling my eyes out and cursing the mean nurse's name while wondering how Mike could be so calm about the situation.

Pretty much immediately after the shots were given, Mike picked Cavin up and the babe feel asleep on his dad's shoulder. That was a sweet moment.

Other than the shots incident, Cavin had a successful appointment!

Weight: 12 pounds, 7 ounces (75th percentile)
Height: 24.75 inches (97th percentile)

This past month we've seen some real progress with Little C. He gives us really big smiles, is doing a great job with his tummy time, slept through the night 3 more times, is graduating into size 2 diapers, found his big toe and grabbed it, LOVES his bouncy chair and consistently grabs Ms. Hippo to shake her, follows us with his eyes, and sleeps in his crib in his own room. His personality is really coming out and it couldn't be any sweeter.

And just like last month we had a good time getting the little one to balance on Elmo.







Which resulted in....




Happy Birthday Cavin!!!

Ugh I hate when they cry so hard no sound comes out. Cavin is looking adorable at 2 months!
