2 Months Old...

This past week Rowan celebrated his 2 month birthday.  It's been an exciting month of milestones.  He's full of smiles and he is starting to discover his voice.  There are certain things that both Ryan and I can do now to get him smiling which has been a real joy for us.  He's got the best smile!!!  Rowan is unbelievably active as well.  He's constantly kicking his legs and moving his arms.  It's so funny to see him really get going in his bouncy seat.  And, he's really starting to exhibit some real control over his head and neck.  It's been fun for us to witness his growth.  

We went to visit his pediatrician this month as well.  Rowan is now weighing in at 12 lbs and 6 oz (75th percentile) and 24 1/2 inches in length (95th percentile).  He has the longest legs and fingers!  He received his first round of immunization shots.  Rowan and I both cried during our visit, but overall he did extraordinarily well.  I wasn't sure what to expect for the remainder of the afternoon as I've heard he could either be sleepy or fussy.  Well, Rowan was neither.  He was all smiles and maintained his typical schedule - wake up, eat, play, nap, repeat.  Oh, the life of an infant.  :-)  We've also started taking Rowan to the gym with us. I was extremely nervous leaving him at first, but our pediatrician is a huge advocate of family fitness and really encouraged us to get back to the gym.  This was certainly more of a milestone for us than it was for Rowan.  :-)

It's hard to believe that 2 months have already flown by.  It feels like just yesterday that Ryan and I were bringing Rowan home from the hospital.  We finally feel like we have established a rhythm with Rowan and his little personality is starting to emerge.  Our little guy is growing up before our eyes.  He's so adaptive and sweet.  We're unbelievably lucky.
