Today, we took Garett for his two month check-up. Granted, he's eight weeks old but I guess in the medical world, that is not 2 months EXACTLY! Nov. 2 would be two months. We were told he might not get the shots today and we would have to come back but they went ahead with it. Little boy received two shots, one per leg, and then one oral for this virus that either comes from or causes diarrhea. I forget! He did really well. He turned as red as Rudolph's nose (a little early holiday spirit) and screamed for a second but then let out this adorable sad cry like, "Mommy, why?? WHY??" But the crying receeded within seconds.
As for his wieght, he is at 12.5 lbs. (75th percentile) and 23 inches (90th percentile). The doctor did a physical and said everything looked good. Doc was pretty impressed with the circumcision, too - boosting his own ego! He checked out the bump on the back/bottom of Garett's head and said it is most likely from the extra neck muscles that boys have. Explains his strong neck holding that round noggin up!
He's been pretty sleepy the rest of the day, thank you Tylenol. Wyatt slept through the night for the first time when he got all of his shots at two months. We'll see if the same good fortune falls on us this time around!! Mommy would be VERY appreciative! :)
