Time Flies

We had Canon's two month check-up yesterday. He is thriving at 13 lbs 9 oz, and 24 1/2 inches tall. He is half an inch taller than his brothers were at his age, 1/2 a lb lighter than Beck, and a full pound lighter than Ry! (no wonder I had to eat half a package of oreos every day to feed those two!!!) So he's skinnier, but he is absolutely adorable! Plus he sleeps way better than they did at his age (he's slept through the night almost every night for the last week and a half!).

He has found his fingers and loves to suck on his hand. He hates the pacifier, and gets livid if we attempt to give it to him. (i bought every single pacifier available, I actually like that he doesn't take a pacifier, but I think it would make our upcoming cross-global flight easier if he would take one...that is going to be one long day) He laughed for the first time on Monday! Of course he hasn't laughed since then, maybe when he gets over the fact that I allowed him to be shot in the leg 3 times yesterday. He took his shots like a champ though, he cried and then got over it and fell asleep. He is a wonderful baby, and has me completely smitten. I love his shy little smiles, how he coos loudly to get my attention and then gives me a grin, he is perfect!

I know what you mean. I can't believe my baby is getting big so fast! Finley won't take a pacifier either, I am ok with it, just sometimes it would be nice if he did--he doesn't like bottles either, another inconvience when we are out and about. That is awesome he sleeps through the night. Finley only gets up once around 4ish and I am ok with that, much better than two or three times.

Aaaahhh, what a sweetie! Can't wait to hold him in a few weeks! Love the first laugh, so sweet to hear and you feel like you accomplished a major thing when you get that first laugh out of them.

Such a cuie! I can't believe he's already sleeping through the night. I'm jealous! Brody still gets up about every three hours.

CROSS-GLOBAL FLIGHT????? I just flew semi-cross-country last night and wanted to leave all my kids at the airport by the time we were done. Good luck to you, my friend.
