Bentley's 2 month birthday was (last) Tuesday! I can't believe it! We had his check-up that day too and here are his stats:
12 pounds, 10 ounces (73rd %)
23.5 inches long (80th %)
head size: 39cm (28th %)
Just slightly smaller than Ryder was - except his head is much smaller. He had to get one oral vaccine and 3 shots. It.was.AWFUL. :( We have noticed that he prefers his head to always be turned to the same side and because of that his head is getting a flat spot. We asked the doctor about it and were surprised to find out he has Torticollis, which basically means there has been some sort of "trauma" to his neck. The doctor said it was either caused by the way he was positioned in my belly or that it happened during birth. The muscles on one side of his neck are really tight so it's hard for him to turn his head the other way. Basically, he has had a sore neck for the past 2 months. I feel so bad for him! We have to stretch his neck multiple times throughout the day and it's horrible. He screams and you can tell it hurts him. The doctor stressed how important it is to correct the problem before it gets worse though. If it isn't fixed by the time he is 6 months, he may have to wear a helmet. Hopefully we won't have to go there.
I've been trying to finish this post for 5 days so I am just going to publish it and get his 2 month pictures up ASAP. :)

Poor baby! Can he do any physical therapy?? My friends daughter has that and she goes once a week to therapy to try and resolve it too. Praying for him!
