Bud: Two Months

Bud is officially two months old today. I brought him to the doctor for a checkup and another round of vaccinations. He's 12.5 pounds and growth is on target. We went to the nutritionist to discuss when to introduce solids and she suggested four months old, which seems a bit early, but I'll try then and see if he's ready. I can continue breastfeeding, though I'm not sure how long I want to keep it up. Maybe until he gets teeth, then I'll switch him to bottles. So far, he can hold his head up and roll to his back. He likes being on his tummy and really wants to scoot around. I can't get enough of his toes. They are the cutest little toes I've ever seen.


Zac and I had an actual just-us date the other night. He took me to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. I don't think we've been on a date in over a year, so getting out of the house without the Bud was a treat, though it's so weird how much I missed him. Motherhood is weird.
