2 Months Old

Cannon had his 2 month check up on Wednesday. He weighed in at 15.2 lbs!!! Can you say CHUNK? The doctor said he was off the charts (percentile wise). He was 24.5 inches long (which was 95% percentile), so he is pretty proportionate. He's just a BIG guy.

While we waited for the nurses to come in to give him his shots, Cannon fell asleep in my arms. I laid him down and when the nurses attacked him, he hardly cried at all. It was more of a yell, like (HEY! DON'T!) and then he went right back to sleep. He didn't seem too bothered by them the rest of the day either.
This is pretty much the way he is too. He sleeps a lot and is really content unless his belly hurts or he's hungry. He loves to snuggle and is so much fun to snuggle too. Who can resist kissing those cheeks?
He has just recently started smiling and cooing all the time. There is nothing better than saying hi to your baby and having them look right at you and grin or talk to you.
He is also super strong. He holds his head up very well by himself and he loves to kick his legs when he's on the floor or if you are holding him, he will kick off against you and try to stand.
We feel so lucky to have him in our lives. Kylee can't get enough of him (which makes me thankful he is so big, because some times I think she's going to crush him). He is the stinkiest (gassy), sweatiest (if you hold him when it's hot, he will leave a pool of sweat on your arms..he sweats all the time. Dr. said it is normal for a kid his size), but sweetest baby I've ever met. We Love You Cannon!

He's so cute! I love it when babies are chunky...they are supposed to be!! So much more to love. Plus they totally thin out as they grow and become more active, so it's fun while they are in the chunky stage!!
