Hinckley at 2 months

Height- 53.5 cm (21 inches)
Weight- 3.65 kilos (8 pounds)
Head- 37.5 cm
Hearing test- Passed both ears!



We went to Hinckley's two month appointment yesterday. I can't believe how much he has grown this month. He gained more than a kilo (2.2 pounds) and grew 5.5 cm (2.16 inches). He has been eating like crazy and the doctor said it is because he is trying to catch up with a normal baby.

He has gotten onto a pretty good schedule and I hope that as he gains weight he will be able to sleep longer at night. Right now about 4 hours is his limit before he wakes up hungry. (Everything I googled said that once 10 pounds is the magic number for preemies. Once they hit that weight they can sleep at least 6 hours. That sounds heavenly right now!)

We are traveling home with him next week. Twelve hours is going to be a long time, but all my friends in China that travel with their babies said that 2 months wasn't a bad age to travel at all. In fact it is supposed to be the best time since he still sleeps most of the day. Flying with him at Christmas time when he is 8 months is going to be more challenging...but I won't think about that yet. We are looking forward to being home and introducing Hink to our families!

This past week Hink's NaiNai and YeYe have been visiting. Here are a few pictures
