Two months...

We went to Charlie's two month appointment last week (Dec. 22nd) and here is what the doctor said...

Height: 23 1/2 in (75th percentile) - he grew 1 inch
Weight: 11 lbs 1 oz (25th percentile) - he remains to be long & skinny!
Head Circumference: 16 in (75th percentile)

It was horribly sad to see him get his first round of shots. He broke my heart with his little tears. I thought we were all good because he slept the whole way from Fort Worth to Marshall (for Christmas) but as soon as we took him out of his carseat, he lost it. Carson and I have never heard him cry like that. His little leg was a little red and swollen and he had a low grade fever. (Being a pediatric nurse practitioner I quickly reassured myself that these are normal reactions) We were trying the whole "wait to give Tylenol" method. Well, that was the last time for that method! We gave him Tylenol right away and after about an hour, he was smiling and grinning at us all!!!! So when it comes time for 4 month shots we'll give the Tylenol as soon as we get home from the doctor. That was the only bad thing about his visit. Dr. Ozaeta said he looked very healthy!!

Our sweet boy really is such a good baby. He smiles and coos at us all the time. We are reminded every time we look at him what a little miracle and blessing God has given us.
