A current debate in our household is which parent Erik most resembles. Sadly, the debate is really only about Erik’s appearance as we are both pretty clear that his temper and tendency to pout are inherited from me (Kelli). Since I’m the one that actually writes this blog, I was strongly tempted to blame Kent. If it’s on the internet, it must be true, right?! But whenever Erik’s bottom lip comes out, I remember seeing the same expression in the mirror while growing up. Plus, my Aunt Margaret was over the other day and saw Erik pouting. She immediately commented that she remembered that same look on me! :) But back to the appearance debate - I’ve posted pictures of Erik along with pictures of Kent & I when we were about the same age. What do you think?
We had a relatively quiet week; I was alone for a few days since Kent had an overnight business trip. I was a bit nervous about it, but Erik and I handled ourselves very well. I went on several walks with him through our new neighborhood and met some of our neighbors. I took him with me to a doctor’s appointment and I also attempted a trip to the grocery store - such bravery, right?! Erik was superb throughout that excursion; he fell asleep in the Baby Bjorn within 5 minutes of entering the store and only woke up once when I had to reach deep into a freezer compartment.
Erik had his 2 month appointment this week as well. He is now 10 pounds, 10 ounces which is in the 75th percentile. He has grown another inch & half this month to 22.5 inches which is in the 50th percentile. He is getting better at holding up his head and is spending more time interacting with us by cooing, smiling and watching us or his toys. He is also starting to open up his fists more often and waving his hands & arms around.
