Our Little Man is 2 Months Old!

Bridger is 2 months old today. We took him to the doctor for his 2 month check up, and they had to start his shots today :( I felt so bad for the little guy cause during the whole doctor's visit he was smiling and showing off. I called him a show off, then Jon and I both looked at each other and said "he gets that from you". Then the nurse came in and he was still giving a good show and then she stabbed him and you could tell by the look on his face he was thinking "what was that for? I was being so good and then you hurt me." So I was upset I didn't cry, but I wanted to it broke my heart. Good news is he is a growing like a weed. He weighed 11 lbs 1 oz, and was 22 1/2 in long. So he has gained a lot since his 6 lbs 13 oz birth weight and 21 in. Jon said they didn't count his hair so he's at least another 2 inches longer.  We couldn't believe how much he had changed in just the 2 weeks we were in the hospital with Jon.
Jon is doing well. He improves so much everyday. He still has no feeling from the forearm to his finger tips on the left side, but even that seems to be getting better week by week. He was surprised he couldn't feel the air coming out of the heater vent in the car with his left hand, and when I was cooking the other night he put his hand over the pot and he couldn't feel the heat from that either. The therapist said it should come back with time. His therapy seems to be going well and his balance has improved so much from when he got home. We thank our Heavenly Father everyday for his miraculous improvements and that he continues to get better with each day. Thanks again everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

Can't believe he is already 2 months old! He is such a handsome little boy! Glad Jon is doing better and I bet being back with Bridger is helping:)
