Two months

Ian had his two month old appt. yesterday (January 17th)...

Here are the stats:

Weight: 13 lbs., 9 oz.

Height: 23 3/4 inches

Head Circumference: 15 3/4 inches

He is such a joy!!! Seriously, he never cries unless he is hungry or unless he's really tired and needs to go to sleep. Otherwise, he's just alert and happy and smiling and babbling. He has been such an easy baby to parent, which is a gift from God for this mama with two small children. I love him so much, and I eagerly anticipate him getting older and being able to interact more with us and with Lucy and seeing the two of them grow to love each other.

One month

Ian had his one month appointment on December 13.

Weight: 11 lbs., 3 oz.

Height: 22 inches

Head circumference: 15 1/4 inches

I can't remember any of Lucy's stats at the same age, but I know Ian definitely weighs more than she did at that point, and he is longer. So I can't wait to see how he will grow and look next to his "big" sister!

Why?

I'm starting this blog to keep up with Ian's growth and all the memories I want to write about. We started a blog for Lucy and it was primarily about her health and her craniosynostosis, but I've enjoyed reading back over all the entries to see how she's grown and the struggles and triumphs we encountered along the way.

Not to be left out as the proverbial second child, I thought we should have one for Ian, too.

Even if no one ever reads this, I know I will and I hope one day Ian can read it too and enjoy how his mom took the time to chronicle his life.
