Day 56 – Eight weeks old

OH MY FREAKING GOD!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH HOW CUTE THIS KID IS?

Corin turned eight weeks old today, and we had his two month check-up at the doctor’s office. He is obviously eating well, since he weighed in at 9 pounds, 7 ounces! He has also grown about two and a half inches since he was born. The doctor did a little test of his eyesight and tracking ability by moving a penlight from side-to-side in from of his face. We have seen him looking up at the lights before, but have never really seen him track anything my moving his head and eyes. It was pretty cool to see him do it. He received three immunization shots today. He handled them better than mommy, who waited in the car for those to be over. He let out a little cry when he got stuck, but after a couple seconds he was fine. The doc says that all systems are looking good.

After we left the doctor’s office we went into Kristi’s old job to say hello. We then went into my office to pick up some items and say hello there. For those of you that didn’t know, I have been off from work since Corin was born, and this is my last week off. I will be returning to work on Monday and Kristi will be taking over full-time care of our wee-one. It has been great to be able to be off with them. I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to watch him grow and be here to help Kristi.
