Today we woke up to about 3 inches of snow so I decided to dress Alex up in his snow suit and take a picture. The snow suit quickly came off after we realized he was roasting in it. After we played dress up we got ready to take him for his two month check up. Luckily his appointment wasn't until 10:30, which meant a lot of the snow had melted on the main roads (though our neighborhood was still covered).
Alex's appointment went very well. He now weighs 9 lbs, 14 ounces and is 21 inches long. He is a growing boy and the doctor says he is doing great. He also got three shots today which was no fun. After the appointment he slept for about 4 hours and then woke up all pissed off. I spent the next hour trying to get him to stop crying and now he is doing much better.
We would also like to report that after 3 weeks of trying the bottle he has finally had two bottles successfully. He always took to the bottle for a few minutes but it usually ended up with him crying non-stop and me feeding him. Yesterday he took the bottle without crying and did not need me to feed him afterward. This is quite a relief for me since he will need the bottle when he goes to daycare. Hopefully this will continue and it isn't a fluke.

Thanks so much for giving us frequent
updates. Mom and baby look good. Nice to see that he is gaining weight and taking a bottle. Keep up the good work.
