2 month checkup
The baby had his 2 month checkup today (albeit late since we barely learned what pediatric services are offered at the campus health center).
Our hunch that he's gained weight was confirmed, moving from the petite 6lbs 1oz to 11 lbs 2oz. And he's now 22 inches long! He finally has outgrown newborn-sized sleepers, so we're going to have to dig up his "bigger" clothes from storage (woo, 0-3mos ha ha)...
Overall he's doing well. The doc was amused with him since the baby kept trying to coo at him. Although we were warned to never leave him unattended since he's gotten very wiggly (especially during the checkup). And since Nick and I have both been sick, he might get a cold soon. No coughing, but he has had a runny nose today. So the doc recommended vitamin drops.
6 more weeks till his next visit (and next set of shots, oh no). :)

jinx?
From 57° to 33°. What happened here?

The weather was still fairly decent when we left our house today to hang out at the mall. But the weather took a turn for the worse in the next few hours. By the time we left for home, the wind was blowing like crazy and it was quite chilly. The baby who was sleeping contently in his carseat, woke up with a start when the wind blew in his direction. Luckily the car was parked right next to the entrance, so we were able to quickly jump into the vehicle to leave.

We just got back from some friends' house. It was great to get out of the house, hang out with other folks in the program and just chill on a Friday night.
One of the good things though is that one of Nick's friends helped us out with making sure the carseat is really secure. He rode in our car one time and commented that the seat could be tighter and more efficiently placed. So he and Nick spent a few good minutes tonight securing the car seat base and making sure it's aligned. Then they gave us tips on when/how to adjust the straps on the seat based on the baby's size.
Good stuff. It definitely helps to have friends around who are experts at these things...
