Mitchell-Man is 2 Months Old!

This post is a little late, but our boy Mitch turned two months old on 8/10! It's hard to believe that so much time has passed already.  It it literally flying by!

We took Mitchell to the doctor last week.  He weighs 15lbs and is 23 inches long.  Big Boy!  I wasn't shocked by this, but it is still kind of amazing that he is so big.  He's outgrowing all of his 3 month clothes and even some of the 3-6 stuff.  We had already returned some stuff for bigger sizes and now it looks like we'll have to exchange them again.  Crazy!  I asked the doctor if everything was okay with him since he's growing so darn fast and I was assured that Mitchell was 'just right".  The pediatrician said that some babies just go through their growth spurts early and then even out when they get a little bit older.  That definitely seems to be the way that Mitchell is growing.  He said the that they don't really worry about babies gaining too much at this stage.  The number that they are most concerned with is his head circumference because that indicated brain development.  While I cannot remember the exact number, I do know that Mitchell is above average in that too.   Guess our guy is an overachiever!  Mitchell checked out perfect.  He's right on track developmentally.  He got four vaccines - three shots and a oral vaccine.  He did great - only cried for a second (which broke my heart).  Evie was not happy with the doctor when he 'hurt' Mitchell and gave him a glare. 

Mitchell is smiling these days and cooing more and more.  He loves to watch the ceiling fan and can be very content laying on the floor on his play mat.  He's making more eye contact these days.  He seems fascinated by faces and will stare at Pat and I when we hold him. I love making faces at him and watching his expression change.  He's obviously a good eater, but so far, we haven't had to supplement him at all.  He's strictly taking breast-milk.  I'm hoping I can nurse him for a year like I did Evie.  He takes a pacifier, although he's not the paci-lover that his sister is.  He'll spit it out after awhile most of the time.  He loves taking walks in the stroller and being outside.  Mitchell is such a sweet, cuddly little guy who just loves to be held.  He wants to be in our arms and part of the action.  Can't wait to see what the next month brings!

Evie had to get in on the action :)

I don't think that they look alike at all (at least not much)
