It seems like just last week I was writing Clark's 1 Month blog post...oh wait, that's right, it was last week. I am in the running for Mom of the Month, so today's update is actually on the right day - Clark is two months old!
He weighs in at 10 pounds, 9 ounces and measures 22 inches long. He's in the 12th percentile for height and 8th percentile for weight - just a little guy! His pediatrician says he has a bright future ahead of him as a horse jockey! He still wears newborn clothes, but is inching closer to the 0 - 3 month size stuff. He eats 4 ounces every 4 hours, and Daddy has turned him into a diva who will only drink a warm bottle.
Some highlights from this month were starting Daycare, learning how to jibber jabber and tell lots of tales, and starting to sleep much better in his bassinet (as long as he is tightly swaddled in his baby straightjacket!). Clark got to attend his first Super Bowl party this month, and he has started smiling more and more every day. He also took another trip to Cedar Rapids with Momma to see his Aunts, Uncles, and cousins.
A couple of lowlights from his second month were attending Great Grandma Kay's funeral (but he did get to meet lots of family he hadn't seen yet), and getting his first cold.
His nicknames are still Bubba, Tooters, Clarkie, Booger Butt, and Daddy has added 'Clark Bar'. Clark Skypes with Grandma and Grandpa Higdon several times a week, and he smiles great big whenever Grandpa says, 'Packers, Packers, Packers!' so we either have a budding cheesehead on our hands, or he just thinks Grandpa is funny - the jury is still out.
He still looks very similar to his Daddy, although he did get his first 'You look just like your mom!' last week, so I guess that makes the final tally 843 votes for Dad and 1 for Mom. It's a tight race. His puppy dog, Mia, is a great big sister who watches over him during Tummy Time, kisses his nose every morning, and even lets Momma park Clark against her. Clark hasn't reciprocated the love quite yet, but we're confident he'll learn to love her as much as she loves him.
