2 months old

Oliver is 2 months old today and I've been told that my blog posts lack photos but that's only because my camera broke and I had to get a new one. So, here are a collage of photos from the last few days.

On Friday we went to his pediatrician to have his 2 month check-up. He's 7lbs 14.5 oz and 21 1/4 inches long. He's not on the growth charts yet but he's making good progress. He also received some of his shots. Here's a picture with all of his band aids on. He did really well getting them, only cried for a brief time until I was able to pick him up. He will have to receive his vaccines earlier than other kids because of the fact that he may lose his spleen and will need the vaccines before that happens to help with his immunity.

Oliver's getting ready for his bath.

Saturday we loaded up in the car for a long ride to Omaha to see his cousins and be there for Annaliese's baptism. Lets just say he did better coming back from Omaha than going there. He was awake for over 4 hours on the way out and we had to stop 4 times and only 45 minutes total on the way back stopping once.

Just hanging out on Ian's quilt made by Colleen. He's now starting to move his head to noises and tract with his eyes.

He's "SO BIG".

Great Grandma Mary came over to hold Oliver for the first time on Monday.

Monday we also went to the lab to have blood work done again and his hemaglobin was 9.3 so no blood transfusion was needed. Oliver is changing so much, he's cooing and holding his head up for a short time. He smiles a lot and is eating around 3 ounces at a time now. We've stopped the breast milk fortified with neosure because the neosure has too much iron in it and that is exactly what we don't want so he's getting plain breast milk. Today, at 2 months, I finally put him in 0-3 months clothes because he was getting so long he couldn't kick and stretch his legs out in the newborn clothes anymore.
