Weston turned TWO months....a little while ago! :)

Yep, so Weston turned two months on the day that Andrew left for his first post-baby TDY and thus I was able to snap the photos but obviously didn't quite find the time to post the pictures!  Weston is doing wonderfully, the doctor was quite pleased with his progress at his two month appointment.  Although his growth is still on the slow side for an 11 week old, he is making progress and that's what is important!  He is not quite on the full term baby growth chart so he technically has 0% on that chart, but on the adjusted 33 week chart he is 50% for weight (9lbs, 3 oz), 55% for height (21 inches) and 33% for his head circumference (14.5 inches--the doc said that his head circumference will catch up as a lot of preemies have what she calls "toaster head" as their sides need to expand a little).
Along with his growing chart, he is surprising us each and everyday with new skills.  He has rolled over three times now, although all of them have been because he was fussing and just plopped himself from his tummy to his back.  He has begun to smile at us and that makes all those crying moments totally worth it.  We still think a lot of his smiling is due to gas but every now and then we know we are getting genuine smiles.  He can scoot all over his crib on his stomach when he's angry so we know he has some strength in that little body.  One evening, like a good mom, I even took out the bumpers (like they are recommending now) and he woke me up twice because his arm had gotten lodged in the railings so back the bumpers went!
Here are some two month photos:
Look!  My eyes are open and my diaper looks HUGE!

It's tiring being being this cute and 2 months old!
Somehow I don't look as comfortable as mom made me last time--can you tell dad had a hand in this?  

Yep!  Still slipping!
More to come because well, Weston will be 3 months soon!
