Two Months

On September 2, 2009 Donny turned 2 months old. Here are his stats:

Weight - 13 lb. 13 oz. -- Up from 7 lb. 5 oz. @ birth (90%)
Length - 23 1/2 in. -- Up from 19 3/4 in. @ birth (I think this was 75%)
Head - 40.1 cm -- (I think this was 60%)

I actually got reprimanded by the pediatrician for overfeeding Donny. OOPS! This mommy was just giving her baby what he wanted. Of course, I thought it was a lot, but he wasn't satisfied unless he got it. He was eating approximately 6oz. almost every 3 hours (except at night since he's skips a feeding while sleeping). The doctor said, "A baby at any age should not be eating as much as Donald." He told me that I needed to decrease each feeding by at least an ounce or else we would be on the road to obesity. For real? I didn't know babies could be obese.

Anyway, Donny does not much care for this diet and, frankly, neither do I! Hopefully, Donny will use this as motivation to sleep ALL through the night. The doctor says once Donny skips his other nighttime feeding that we can up the ounces again.

Other than my sweet boy being a fatty (and currently screaming for more food), he's HAPPY and HEALTHY! That's all this mom can ask for. :o)
