2 month and 2 year check ups

On Wednesday, Brad and I took the 2 little boys for their check-ups and shots. Kase is so funny. He keeps asking to go to the doctor, and its probably because I had all the dr appointments at the end of pregnancy and its still been on his mind. So we told him that he was indeed going to the dr. Well after the finger prick and shots, I don't think he will be asking to go to the dr anymore!! Now he is just going around saying "doctor HURT!"

Stats for the boys: Kase 30lbs (90th percentile) 35 inches
Cole 15.5 lbs (over 99th percentile) HA! 24 inches (90th percentile)

Can I just say ohmygoodness! Brad and I teased that Cole was our runt because at his 2 week check he was 8lb and 20 inches which was smaller than the other 2. I would just stare at him saying "he's so little" well now just 8 weeks later he has passed the size the other 2 were at this age!

Some things I want to remember about Cole's 2nd month
He had his first boat ride and was a trooper
I finally found a double stroller. I have been looking and did not want to spend $300 on something I wasn't sure how long I would use. A friend posted she had one and I jumped on it. $50 later here we are. We've been strolling!!
Cole is still such a great baby. Eats every 2-3 hrs during the day and 3-5 hrs at night. Not really sure how many ounces he takes but it is obviously enough! I say he has a red-headed temper! He wants to eat when he wants to eat and does not want to wait or take a bottle. He will only take a paci if you sit there and hold it in his mouth. Which is ok if your out  and about but at home I don't even bother. He has really started cooing and "talking" to us. He is in a size 2 diaper and wearing 3-6 month clothes. I can't beleive I am already putting up stuff he has outgrown!

He has been nicknamed "baby tole" courtesy of Kase. I have to return to work on Aug 15th (boo) and I am going to hate leaving my sweet little red head. I have been trying to get everyone on an early bedtime routine. So far it's been a major FAIL! Last night was no exception. I had a bottle ready to give Cole. I started at 10pm. Well at 12:10am he had finally taken 4 oz. He was almost refusing but I was not gonna let this 2 month old do this. I layed him down and he fussed and cried until I gave in and nursed him at 12:40. Then he passed out and slept til
almost 6am! Yep see that temper! I hope it gets better or Brad's gonna have a breakdown my first night back to work!
