2 month checkup

Today was the dreaded day. Noah had his 2 month physical and shots. It actually wasn't as bad as I had imagined it to be... now we'll see how the next 24-48 hours goes.

Brace yourselves now, here are the stats. Since birth, he has grown 2 1/2 inches and is now 24 inches long - that's the 90th percentile for his age. The weight is the big one... he is now 15 lbs, 11 oz!!!! He's gained 6 lbs, 12 oz since his birthday!! He is off the chart for percentile in weight. :-) The doctor told us she thinks he's the biggest 2 month old she's ever seen! Wow. She also said it's okay that he's so big, so that's good.

The shots went as well as can be expected. He screamed and turned bright red when the nurse stuck him but as soon as it was over, he stopped. We gave him some tylenol just before he got them, so hopefully that will help with any side effects he may get. The doc said that he might be fussy and run a little bit of a fever over the next 48 hours. So far, he's still happy, so that's good.

He's doing really well with sleeping at night. I'll feed him around 9:00 and we'll put him down. He usually wakes up around 2 or so for a diaper change (usually Daddy's duty - or doodie), but he'll go right back to sleep until about 3 or 4 when he wakes up again to eat (my duty... and sometimes doodie). :-) Again, he'll go right back to sleep until 7 or 7:30! Good boy!

We've just been so lucky to have such a great baby. I guess that means the next one will be trouble, huh? :-) And no... no time soon!!!

Here's a shot of our little thinker. He's already contemplating the world in his dreams.
