2 Month Check-up, Fun with Cousins!!

Well Jacob had his 2 month check-up last week and the dreaded shots- oh how sad but he was so brave, more brave than his mom, he got 6 shots, 3 they put into one and then he got 3 pokes and had to drink some stuff, the nurse said usually babies drool half of it out but Jacob slammed it down like it was a treat, anyways he cried with each poke and I just covered him in kisses and he would stop until the next poke, I was worried that he would be fussy and sore after but I never heard another peep out of him, so all that was well.On the other hand his measurements were:

Weight: 9lbs. 15.5 oz = 5 percentile- I was worried about that, but she said it was nothing to worry about another half ounce and he would have been in the 30th percentile, still small though.

Height: 22 3/4 " = 24th percentile

Head: 16" = 49th percentile

So pretty much he is tall, skinny with lots of smarts, which I see more of every day.

It has been a busy couple weeks, we had my friend Krista's bachlorette party on the weekend of the 11th, which was my first night without Jacob, I brought him with during the day(it was a weekend long event) and then the boys came down at about 7 and picked the kids up and then returned around 1 am to pick us up, it was a very nice get together they rented a house on the apple river and us girls just sat around playing games and singing karoke and all that good stuff, Krista gets married on November 8th- woo-hoo!!

And this past week was MEA so I had my sisters kids Gabe and Grace over one night(Marilyn was babysitting and then going to a movie) we went to the rocks in Taylors Falls and took some pics, and then came home ate pizza and played some very serious games of "Sorry" the game of sweet revenge... Grace is the best little mommas helper ever, and she loves it, a couple more years and she's got herself a job...

Jacob with his cousins, Gabe and Grace- Jacob unfortunately found our photo shoot rather boring and decided to sleep through it all.

Sweet boy snoozing- the kids decorated him with leaves to add a little spunk and make him look like he was really into the whole thing... Doesn't he look excited??

Here he is smiling, Gracie had him going pretty good, she was teasing his lips with his Nuk and making noises..she really is good with him, she is so confident when holding him and everything, I was amazed, we all had a good time. On a sad note I found out today I will be going back to work on November 3rd.. boohoo, it went to fast..but luckily my sister Emily will be taking care of him until I figure out what we are doing!
