Miles had his two month check-up on Friday. He got his first round of immunizations (we only did two out of the recommended five-we're doing a longer schedule so he doesn't have to get as many at once). He did great, only cried for a moment and as soon as I picked him up, he was fine. He's very interested in his surroundings now, so gets distracted quite easily these days.
His measurements are as follows:
Head circumference: 41 cm (75th percentile)
Height: 25 1/4 inches (95th percentile)
Weight: 13 pounds (75th percentile)
Oh and the nurse commented that he's the height of most four month olds. yikes. I better learn to sew, because this kid is going to be burning through pants.

Klingon baby
I really need to work on those camera angles!
But, check out the neck control-it's about to get a lot easier to carry him around.

Warning
This may be the most boring 30 seconds of your life if your name is not Tori or Craig. However, if you want to try it out, it's Miles discovering that he can hit the sun on his play mat. Adorable.

UM
He slept for 7 hours last night. SEVEN hours...in. a. row. Please, please, please let this be the start of something wonderful. I can't remember if I mentioned I'm re-reading Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. I think it's helping.
Also, I had him in a cloth diaper and IT DIDN'T LEAK. My friend Russin came to the rescue again (there's a pattern forming here-thanks Russin! :-) ) and lent me a bunch of different diapers/inserts to try. I was having trouble with leakage and sick of changing outfits 2-3 times a day. Turns out, Miles is a heavy wetter and just adding extra liners has done the trick. I am so excited. My next move is to buy a few more diapers/liners and I think we'll be exclusively cloth diapering. Yay!!! Plus, she had a diaper I'm in love with- GroBaby-so easy to use and very versatile. You can use it more than once if they're just wetting. The BumGenious is also great, especially now that I've figured out the extra liner thing. I'm so glad I said something to her and didn't just give up.

Happy New Year!
We had the opportunity to go to a New Year's Eve party thrown by our friends Sam and Mitch. Miles did great-fell asleep, ate, got passed around a bit and had a chipper attitude the whole time. I was struck by how fortunate we are to be surrounded by such wonderful friends and family here in SLC. It is such a treat to raise a child amongst this incredible community of people. He is one lucky kid! Below are a few of our friends.
