Felix had his two-month checkup yesterday. He is now 13 lbs. 11 oz. and 24″ long! That puts him in the 100% percentile for weight (he’s actually above the 100% line), and 97% percentile for height. He’s gonna be a big boy! Not bad for a premie…he caught up real quick.
Even though he’s big for his age, developmentally he still lags behind a bit…that’s okay though because with premies you have to adjust your expectations and calculate his progress based on his due date, not his birth date.
His latest development is that he is finally seeing a bit farther and has discovered his crib mirror. He’ll now lay there and talk to the reflection! It’s a bonus for us because it keeps him busy for a bit, but we have to be careful not to leave him there too long because he’ll babble and kick himself into a frenzy. We’ve now learned to take the mirror down at night, otherwise he will wake up and then get rilled up looking at that “other baby.”
