Life After We Do's

BRUISER..

Keith has been calling Darrian "bruiser" since he was born. It was always sort of funny because Darrian was so small when born. I guess Darrian decided to live up to his nickname.

We went in for his two month check up today. We were excited to see how much he weighed. I knew he had gotten bigger, I thought maybe about 8 lbs. We got him down to his birthday suit and put him on the scale and the nurse says... 11 lbs. 13.8 ounces!! I asked her if she could do it again because that could not be right.. lol. She did and it was! He also measured 22 inches long. So he has been growing lots. I was already going to ask if we could cut him back from the higher calorie formula, and she agreed saying he was already caught up in his weight and they usually use that for the first 6 months but he did it in two! He is in the 55% of a baby who is actually two months without being early!

Everything else looked great, she was impressed with how strong he was and also that he hit all his milestones on time even if he was 6 weeks early. He smiles back at us now and also can see and focus in on things. He also lifts his head from tummy position, and holds it while sitting up.

All in all one healthy little boy ...bruiser!
