First Shots

Today was Connor's 2 month well-baby check up.  Everything is absolutely normal, which is always good to hear!  

The stats:

Length: 23 in. (50%)
Weight: 12lb. 3 oz (50%)
Head circumference: 10%

I guess he has a small head, which surprised me because his head doesn't look small...and when he was born, my doctor didn't think it was small either (...actually, my dr. wasn't so sure i was going to be able to push him out!)

After all the "fun stuff" (meaning that he didn't cry at all...he actually talked through most of the exam), then came the crying.  Did i say crying, i mean wailing.  He had to get 3 shots in his legs, which was terribly painful on his part and sad on mine, because there was nothing i could do to ease his pain....i had done all i could at home (Tylenol).  but, as my friend jamie pointed out, i'd much rather listen to him scream now when he's healthy than when he's in the hospital.  
Hope you're having a great, albeit rainy, day.

I'll post pictures soon

you know, it wouldnt be so bad to tell us how YOU are doing. i'm sure it has been a crazy two months.

also .. are you spacing out his immunizations? we had a discussion about immunizations and how people were responding to claims that they can be linked to autism and other behavioral conditions. i was wondering if you decided to take the traditional route or not?

i hope you have a wonderful weekend! -Lexie
