Happy Birthday Christopher (2 months old)!

July 13, 2009 - Happy 2 month old birthday Christopher! Christopher weighs 10 pounds, 2 ounces and measures 23 inches long. Compare that to his birth weight and length which was 6 pounds, 11.5 ounces and 19.75 inches long. We can hardly believe that the time has flown by so quickly! Two months ago we were in the hospital having Christopher and here we are now. I remember being so nervous to bring him home, this fragile tiny person that was mine now. One of the NICU nurses told us upon leaving the hospital with Christopher on June 1st (the day he came home) that she gave us 2 weeks and after that we would know our baby better than anyone. Well, she was right and little by little we are gaining confidence as parents. We are totally sleep deprived but it's all worth it. Christopher is very alert and has begun tracking with his eyes. In his second month, his smiles became more purposeful and he began to smile even bigger! I'll be feeding him in the wee hours of the morning and be so tired near tears only to have this beautiful baby boy give me the biggest grin you've ever seen - I truly love these moments.
