9 weeks and then some

It's hard to believe, but Keegan turned 9 weeks this past Friday. He also had his 2 month checkup on Friday and got a clean bill of health! He was a very good boy at the doctor's office, especially considering he got 2 shots (vaccines). He had another, but we figured 2 was enough at one time so he'll be back in there in 2 weeks for that. He barely made a peep and a scrunchy face while getting the shots, which I believe is the exact opposite of his father at that age. I was so bad I would cry when we drove past the doctor's office as a kid, even if we weren't going there. I remember being afraid of the scale. Hopefully Keegan's heroics will remain intact throughout the myriad visits we will have to the doc's.

So on to the good stuff. He weighed in at 13lbs 4 oz and measured 23.5in head to monkey toes. He has gotten noticeably heavier and is drinking a consistent 8+ oz of formula at his late evening feeding and actually slept 8 hours on Friday night! We can only hope for some routine out of this since Suzanne is back to work in 3 weeks.

Overall he seems more vocal every day and I've started calling him "smiles" sometimes because he is smiling more and more often (he likes to see his mommy).

I'll try to post more often. I promise! Some pictures from the past couple weeks in no particular order...

Yea! What great pictures! Good job mom and dad (and thanks Orvie for the update). I love the movie -- he's such a little chatterbox. Love, Auntie Krista
