8 Week Update
Well, Blake just had his 2-month physical and according to the doctor, he is a perfect specimen of babyhood. His "percentiles" for head, height and weight keep going up with his weight topping out at a hefty 13.1 pounds. Fortunately, his head is in a relatively low percentile, so all the praise we’re heaping on him, is apparently not lodging there.
The toughest part of the appointment was his shots. He had to get 3 needles and he cried! 
It made me want to cry too, but he took it like a man and sucked it up after we stuck his pacifier in his mouth.
We’ve noticed that he’s starting to get drooly lately, which I read may be an impending sign of teeth descending somewhere from high in the gum. No teeth have erupted yet, and I’m hoping that they don’t until he gets a little closer to eating solid foods.
Other than that, he remains painfully cute. We’re working on getting him to talk and smile more, but he’s only moderately compliant. Ben threatens him with talk of Baby Suresh over in India, getting the leg up on him – just the friendly pressure he needs to stay on top of his game in today’s flat business economy. 
Until next time!
