Henry recently passed the two month mark. Unfortunately, this meant his two month doctor’s visit was unavoidable. He received two shots which neither he nor his parents enjoyed.
At two months Henry has achieved the following milestones:
Weight: 12 lbs. 8 oz. (75th percentile)
Length: 24 inchesĀ (90th percentile)
Rolling over from stomach to back
Recognizing faces
Holding his head up for minutes at a time
Imitating vowel sounds
His growth this month isn’t quite a dramatic but you can tell he’s a lot more expressive and aware of his surroundings.
Henry met his great aunt Linda this weekend for the first time. Linda lives in Taiwan but makes it back to the states for most Thanksgivings.
One Chinese baby tradition is to hold a celebration when babies turn 100 days old. Even though it was a little early, Linda hosted a celebration for Henry that included friends and family sharing blessings for Henry.
Henry was only 61 days old for his 100 day celebration - he's so advanced.
Henry’s doctor recommended isolation period lapsed when he turned 6-weeks old so we headed out to the mall. I thought it would be an opportunity to teach him how a man survives shopping. Instead, he showed me a trick that I’ll have a little trouble recreating – sleeping through it while having someone push you around. I knew he was a genius.
I'm smiling for the picture, not because I'm sitting in the women's clothing section.
Henry had two Halloween outfits this year. On the Thursday before Halloween he attended a costume party with other newborns wearing his ghost shirt. Then on Halloween he sported a spooky shirt from Uncle Mo and Aunt Toni.
Lately Henry has started smiling more and more so we’ve managed to catch a few grins on camera. We think these smiles are intentional, please don’t tell us otherwise.
