Clark Update

Last Friday Clark turned 2 months. He actually will be 11 weeks on Sunday! We can't believe how much he's grown! We had a well baby check up on Wednesday. He now weighs 14lbs 3.5oz which is the 90th percentile. Can't believe it! I knew he was getting big, but I didn't know that he'd gain that much weight. 2 lbs since last months check up, which seems like it was so long ago.
He is 23 inches long which puts him in the 47th percentile. He only grew one inch.
And my favorite, (justification for the c-section) his head circumference is 43cm which puts him in the 98th percentile! Definitely takes after Clint. :) Love ya hun!




As you can see from the pictures Clark has started to smile. Yeah! It very adorable! He'd smile every once in a while, but we couldn't really get him to smile until about a week ago. You still have to make a complete fool of yourself to get the sweet smile, but it's so worth it!





He also holds his head up pretty well. We love it when he does a Stevie Wonder with his head while he sits on your lap. I'll try to get a video of it and upload it later. :)

As for sleep, he still gets up at least twice a night, well actually more but the early morning wake ups are such a blur. We had a fluke night on Monday where he slept for 5 whole hours. It was AWESOME! He usually sleeps really well (3-4 hours) the first half of the night, but then after 3:30 all bets are off, and it depends on him. I think a lot of time he wakes up because he's hungry, but doesn't wake up enough to eat a good meal, causing him to wake up again in two hours or less. Then there's nights like last night where he wakes up with really bad gas. Poor kid. Gas drops don't work either. If anything I think they make him spit up more. Most of you know he's the spit up king. We have days where we go through one burp cloth per feeding. I was surprised he gain so much weight with the amount that comes back up!

Oh and for those of you wondering, "What's that red spot on his face?" Yeah, I'm a horrible mommy. That is Clark's battle wound from last night when I scraped his face with my finger nail during one of our early morning feedings in which I am trying to feed him and am so tired that I'm not really awake. I felt TERRIBLE when I got up and Clint looked at him strange. I thought, "What, does he have massive spit up coming out?" Nope he's got a big gouge between his eyes. My finger nails are now as short as I could comfortably cut them!
