Overload

Goodness gracious! Where does the time go?! I'm sure I'll be saying this to myself with every milestone I have with my wonderful family.

Well, Branson turned 2 months on the 21st of May. I wanted to post the day he had his 2 month appointment, but as you know-I did not. He has changed so much. A lot of good has come with that, and of course, with every little new thing I think of the day he'll leave us or no longer need us. Whether it be going off to college or moving out of the house when he's 30 (I hope that really doesn't happen), it gets me emotional.

His 2 month check up went quite well. Branson received his many shots and-like any mom out there-was a little scared. When he received his newborn shots he never even woke up, and when they had to prick him for jaundice a week later (and they pricked him 4 times) he acted like nothing bothered him. Still, the kid has changed......so I was not sure how he would react. Ha! He screamed because the nurse had to straighten out his legs (he hates to be manipulated). Nope, not from the shot, until one of them began to sting. He was completely fine within minutes when I let him have his best friend back (his pacifier).

His Stats:
11lbs. 12oz. (55th %)
22.5 inches long (% unknown....aka- I wasn't paying attention to the doc)

Here are the breakthroughs:
*Very scheduled...sleeps 10pm to 5/6am....sleeps again 'til 9am then eats every 3 hours w/ hour naps in between
*Pacifier addict (I know, not a breakthrough)
*Major booger nose-I already envision him as the kid w/ green snot as a mustache
*Obsessed with lights and all movement around him
*Hair is growing toward his forehead
*Has several nicknames: Bubba, Bubbas, Bubbers, Buddy, Branson Baby, Baby Branson, Branssie Boy, Buddies, Honey Bun, Sweeties, Chubbers, Chicken Wing, 'Lil Man, Monkey
