Today, Coen is 7 weeks old! We can't believe how quickly the time has gone...and how fast he is growing! In the past month alone he has grown one inch and gained 3 pounds. He's now up to 12 pounds, 5 ounces. We were dreading this appointment and the 2 month shots, but the shots have been postponed a couple of weeks. Mommy and Coen were relieved about this. Well, I was. Coen had no idea what was coming.
The doctor and nurses love Coen and say he is a very healthy little guy. He is now in the 75th percentile for head circumference and weight and is still in the 50th percentile for length. Matt is a little worried that Coen is going to be like his Daddy: a really chubby kid with a huge head. We both LOVE his chubby cheeks though.
I have had to box up all of Coen's newborn-size clothes and am learning to try things on him constantly before he outgrows them. We bought him the sweetest little outfit for Thanksgiving, and when I put it on him this morning it was way too small. The label said it fits babies up to 23 inches...but that's definitely not the case!
Coen is now smiling a lot and we really enjoy seeing him so happy. He had another big milestone this week when he learned to roll over. He was laying down for some tummy time and rolled right over! The look on his face showed that he was just as surprised as we were.
We are getting so excited to celebrate Coen's first Christmas next week. And then Coen will make his first roadtrip to Colorado at the end of the month. Matt and I are praying he does well in the car for 8 hours or that could be a long day!
Thanks for stopping by our blog!
