It’s been a while!

Life is just chugging along for our new family and therefore our blogging has suffered. My bad!

Everything is going great for us. We’re still tired and weary, but very happy! Miles is a pretty happy baby most of the time. Unless he’s trying to poop, or he’s hungry.

Last week we had his 2 month checkup which went pretty well. He had to get 3 shots + an oral vaccine. The shots were horrible… mostly for me. He cried but settled down and fell asleep before we were even out of the exam room while I was still sobbing as I was making his next appointment. It’s heartbreaking to see your child in pain!

The most exciting part of the checkup was seeing how much he weighed. We’d be making bets at home about what the big number would be. 13 lbs, 2 oz!!! WOW! That’s the 85th percentile for weight. And over DOUBLE his birth weight! And his height was 20.5 inches. That’s the 1st percentile for height. And only 1.5 inches more than his birth height. So we have a chunky short boy. After that appointment I checked with Mike’s mom to see what his weight/height was when he was that age and it wasn’t far off. Guess he is taking after his daddy!

Over the holiday weekend we did lots of visiting. One day we went to Grandma Fowlers for a cookout and the next day we took a road trip to Newark to visit my dad, mom and my friend Kristi. Miles was really good the whole day and for all the driving.

This Saturday Mike and I are running a 5K in Huron and Miles will be riding along in his jogging stroller. His first 5K! His name isn’t Miles for nothing! Then Saturday night we have 2 different cookouts to go to. First up is the Goodmans, then the Boones! Gonna be a fun day!
