Spencer 2 months

Spencer is 2 months old! He had his doctor appointment on Monday and he is 5th % for weight, 25th% for height. The doctor said that he is small for a 2 month old but would be closer to 25th% weight and 75th% height if he was born on his due date. Basically we have a tall and skinny kiddo. He kept assuring me that he was already catching up. He is a little behind physically for an 8 week old but would be advanced for a 3.5 week old. He is tracking more like a 6 week old. By 6-9 months, he should be up to speed with kids his age. I am definitely not worried that he will be small long-term, but it is crazy that he is 9lbs at 2 months and if I had made it full term, he could have been that size at birth!

On another note, he is starting to smile at us and even make some coo-like noises. He is still such a cuddle bug and loves to snuggle with us. But he is also perfectly content hanging out by himself in his crib or bouncy seat. He has dropped one nighttime feeding and is making it 4.5 hour stretches. Basically we put him down at 10:30am, he gets up around 3am and then again at 7am. throught the day, he eats every 3 hours and is eating between 4-5 oz each time. We are counting the days until he is sleeping through the night. Hopefully in the next few weeks!
