2 months!!! Already???

I can't believe Xander's two months old already! I've been trying to get this blog started for the past two months to keep everyone updated on his progress and our adventures, but mommy has been very very busy! I'm back to work full-time and so is Xander. He LOVES coming to the office with mommy and Grandma Nancy. Since we've been back full-time he's been having such big days he started sleeping all night long! I still can't believe it. I thought it would never happen. It started about 2 weeks ago, we had an expecially big day of work and then went to Great-Grandma June's house to see their new puppy and show off how big he had gotten after work. Well we didn't get home till almost 6:00pm and after eating and his bath my baby boy fell aslepp at 7:30pm and slept until 6:00am! Ofcourse Mommy still woke up at 3am, 4am and 5am wondering why he was still asleep and terrified that he wasn't ok. Ofcourse he was just fine and started sleeping about 9 hours every night since. Mommy and Daddy are grateful to be getting full nights sleep now, who ever thought Chris and I would consider 8 hours ALOT of sleep! ha ha

Yesterday Xander had his 2 month Doctor Appointment and the dreaded first shots! Mommy was especially nervous about the shots. First, the good stuff, Xander is growing growing growing! He's now 10lbs. 10oz and 22.5inches, up almost 5lbs. from birth! She said he was eating great, although Mommy was concerned because he eats 7oz at a time, which is alot more than most babies his age, but the doc said that he was doing great and not to be concerned, escpecially since we were lucky enough to have a baby that was sleeping all night long. Everything else looked great, she checked him all out and said he was coming along perfectly and she had no concerns. Then it was time for the shots. He recieved 3 shots total, in his legs, two in one and one in the other. The nurse was amazing and did one after another really quickly for us. There was a slight delay in his reaction when the first one went in, but then his whole face turned bright red and he made the face that Mommy hates to see, and he cried real tears! He's never done that before! Confirming Daddy's suspicions that he doesn't really cry ever, he just complains a little until he gets what makes him happy, Daddy thinks he's spoiled, but that's ok with me for now, as long as he's happy! ha ha I admit there were tears in my eyes when I saw him in that much pain. It was torture for me. Ofcourse then it was all over and we are stuck in the doctor's office with a baby that was now inconsolable. I quickly took him outside to relax while Daddy made his 4 month appointment. As soon as we got outside in the sunshine Xander started to relax and realize he was going to be ok.
