Month Two!

The second month of Abram's life have come and gone so quickly that we are closer to the third month than the second, but that is just the way it goes!  Abram has really "woken-up" this wake.  I mean literally!  He.is.awake.all.the.time!  He has started to smile and wiggle around for enjoyment rather than just because he was ticked off.  We have a spitter upper and we are still struggling to get it under control.  He smiles when Adam and I are talking to him and giggles when we play.  He has started to really try to coo and talk to us when he gets really excited about something.  Towards the end of month two, he started stringing five and six hours of sleep together in the evening hours allowing me to get a little more sleep than month one.  At five weeks he rolled over, and hasn't stopped since!  He is on a fast-path as far as developments are concerned. Before his two month appointment we were seeing that he was starting to pack on a few pounds and we were not wrong when we took him to his weigh in.  He weighed 11.55 pounds and had grown to 22 1/2 inches.  He took his shots like a champ, but had a reaction to one that swelled up his leg pretty bad.  Luckily we had no fevers, so one day and we were done!  We also got to spend a weekend with his great-grandparents LaRue and Don who came to see us.  They brought us his cute Halloween costume which he spent about an hour in before he fell asleep.  He was wonderful at all of the football games and is quite the little ham!  Abram also got to see his first snow!  Although I had to go back to work this month, we made it over that hurdle and enjoyed an awesome month with our little man!
