It has been a rough day around here. Poor Dane had his 2 month well baby checkup this morning which meant he got his first round of shots (3 actual shots and one oral vaccine) and Gavin decided to be mostly uncooperative this morning and so it took longer than it should have to get ready. It also made the whole time we were gone pretty miserable because there was a bit of a wait (highly unusual but they were behind because of computer issues... I love that they use computers instead of all paper charts because that's makes it easier for them to reference other information but unfortunately if their systems are down, it delays everyone) and so we were into nap time when we normally would have already been home. Oh well.
Dane is doing very well and growing fast! Hopefully he will feel better (from getting shots) and return to his normal happy and mellow self because the poor boy has been a bit miserable when awake today and only wants to be held (which I have no problem doing).
•13 pounds 14 ounces
•24.75 inches
•Dane has pretty much moved onto mostly 3-6 month clothing already. Some 0-3 month clothing still fits but most has been packed away, along with all the newborn clothing. He is not really growing out of things faster than Gavin, but the cloth diapers require a bit more room so he sort of fits into bigger clothing sooner. Although not all bigger clothing really fits him because he mostly just needs the length (because we have tall babies) and a little extra room for his diapers.
•Dane is now able to wear a few of Gavin's old diapers on the smallest settings, although they still are a little big and the wings overlap, at least he has diapers that are easier for Scott to put on since he isn't a big fan of the prefold and cover (even though I absolutely love them).
•Dane is a super happy and mellow baby. It seems like he is always smiling and cooing when he is awake. He is so sweet! He usually only cries if he is hungry but occasionally if he wants a dry diaper or is a bit overtired because he was woken up from too many naps that day but those seem to be pretty rare.
•He really enjoys laying under the play gym now. He loves the music and colors and talks to the animal toys hanging down, kicking and smiling away. I really enjoy watching him do this but it is also great because it allows me to do things with and for Gavin that can't wait until Dane is napping and it also allows me to be able to step away for a few minutes to do other things when needed. I spend quite a bit of time just watching him though because it is so cute!
•Dane is starting to reach out for things. Not all the movements seem entirely intentional yet, but some seem to be and they are becoming more frequent.
•Dane loves when music comes on, whether it is from a movie or just a day we have music on, if he is a little fussy, he calms right down. He also loves to dance around just like Gavin did (and still does since we spend a lot of time each day doing that).
•Dane generally loves tummy time. He is happy to just lay there, even when he doesn't want to lift his head up to look around. He has even take some cap naps during tummy time when he decides he is tired. I hope this doesn't mean trouble for us and he figures out rolling and crawling sooner than Gavin did.
•Dane has started to enjoy and insist on standing while looking around. He is already working hard to build lots of muscles because he does so well with the standing and holding his head!

Although I know Dane is only two months old, in some ways he already seems so big. I really enjoy when he seems little (like when comparing to holding Gavin) because it all goes by much too fast. I look at Gavin and have a hard time really believing he was ever Dane's size, even though I know (and remember) he was. I am glad that Dane is healthy, growing (consistently), and learning. I just wish it was a bit slower sometimes!
