The 2 Month Report

Here's our big guy in a picture Zak took a couple of days ago. Per had his 2 month check-up on Thursday and here are his stats:
Weight: 13.69 pounds
Length: 25 inches
Head Circumference: 16.4 inches
Wears 6-12 month size socks
Wears 3-6 month size clothes

This is compared to his 2 week check-up stats:
Weight: 9 pounds 11 ounces
Length: 22 inches
Head Circumference: 15 inches
Wore 0-6 month size socks
Wore newborn or 0-3 month size clothes

He's a growing boy! He is roughly the same size now that his cousin Sofie (who is 3 months older than Per) was when she was four months old. He has started laughing, and you can see his beautiful smile here. He chatters to us frequently and is generally just a very happy baby! We sure love him!

The Many Faces of Per

These are some pictures from a little earlier on -- he was probably four weeks old and was having some serious baby acne. But I love the faces he was pulling!

We Call This "Butterfly Emerging from Cocoon"

Sorry for the long delay in posting -- we don't have internet access at home which makes it a little hard to post... But I will be better in the future. Thanks to Dave and Jamie for the reminder!

We learned early on that Per hates having his hands covered. From the first day we brought him home, he has always liked having his hands and arms out of the blankets so that he can move. He also likes to see how quickly he can wiggle out from under a blanket. We tried an experiment with him one day in his bouncy chair when he was six or seven weeks old. My favorite part is the little smile he has on his face in the last picture -- he is so proud of his accomplishment!
