Michigan and Archie's 2 month Check up

This is what Mister Manker (Grandpa) taught us, a new way to hold Archie, and he loves it, the only problem is that he keeps getting heavier so I need to go work out my arms!
Great Grandma and Grandpa Manker with Archie in his fuzzy pants which he grew out of pretty much after this picture was taken. They visited us in Michigan and it was great to spend some time with them. My Grandma walked in the door when they arrived, saw me and saw that I was holding Arch, gave me a quick hug then took him out of my arms and cuddled with him!

Archie and Ben playing; he giggles when his head is tickled or scratched- actually they both giggle when Archie's head is tickled or scratched!


I just loved this face on Archie. He has a double chin, but it looks like he could have three or four.



Mr. Archie in his overalls and boots. He loved them, or I loved them for him!




Happy 2 months Arch! We went to the doctor yesterday and besides a handful of sick little babies nothing out of the ordinary really happened, it was just a pleasent check up. Archie is 13 lbs. and 7 oz., he is 24 inches long and both of those measurments put him in the 85th percentile for his age. His head is 39 cm which is about the 20th percentile. He learned so much over the break! He found his tongue and sucks on it quite a lot, he also found his hands and slobbers all over those just as much! He is more alert and loves to giggle and play. He especially loves it when he is a naked boy, nothing hindering his body and the air tickling his tummy. He grabs onto fingers and can hold his silver rattle (uncle Zach, he really does love it), he is just a growing boy.
