8 weeks old today! Chance is 8 weeks old today. He is growing everyday he doesn't seem much taller but he is getting chubbier all the time. His hands are a little chubby now but the rest of him is still not really chubby compared to other babies because he is still so tall. He fits in his 3 - 6 month onesies from neck to buttons but he still has lots of fabric around the middle. He is still sleeping well and he is starting to look at toys when I dangle them in front of him. I want to get him on of those little gym mats with the toys that dangle from a little arch I think I will really like that. Somehow he gets fuzzies between his fingers and toes all the time and he also has dirt under his fingernails so sometimes I look at his hands and he looks so dirty but really he isn't. Scott and I also think his hair does have some red in it that is starting to show. He can hold his head up really well now and when we put him on his tummy he holds his head and chest up high for a few seconds. I felt so bad last time I gave him a bath, I let his face touch the water for a second and he cried but he was completely fine. Hopefully he doesn't hate baths now. It was freezing here tonight (literally) so we decided not to go to the parades. We are going out to parades tomorrow.
His next Doctor's appointment is next week on the 21st that is when he will get his first set of shots and when we find out his actual weight. However yesterday I figured out his weight from subtracting mine on the regular scale and he weighs 12 pounds now. That seems crazy to me, I can feel that he weighs more but 12 pounds sounds like so much compared to the 7.9 pounds when he was born but we will find out the truth next week.
He smiles more now and once in a while we will hear these other little sounds that I think are the beginnings of cooing. Sometimes he also makes these happy little sounds when he smiles and those are so cute.
