All ready to go see the doctor...look at those lashes...LOVE them! :) Cutie Patootie!
His pediatrician said that he's "growing by the books" - meaning he is growing right on target. He now weighs 11 lbs. 9 oz.!!! He's gained almost 5 pounds since birth...and is in the 48th percentile for weight! He is 23in long...he's grown 2 inches since birth and is in the 54th percentile for height. Lastly, his head circumference was also in the 51st percentile at almost 16 cm around. He is one growing boy and he's finally getting some of that adorable infant chub on his little legs and cheeks. He is sportin' quite the pot belly these days too. ;)
The only downside to the appointment was his first round of shots - YUCKY! Poor little man had to get 3 shots and he was screaming his little head off. :( So hard for momma!!! And...lucky me...I can assume it only gets worse as they get older because they start to understand and realize what is coming. Boo! I think it's almost harder on me that it is on him at times. I just feel so bad. He has been quite the fussy little guy today too...so I know he's not feeling 100%. No fever yet though, good news there. We're snuggle buddies in the glider today! Ok, we snuggle every day, haha, but today we've been extra snuggly because he won't stay asleep for longer than a good 15 minutes at a time. I hope he feels better soon.
Other than the shots, his appointment went very well. We are trying some gripe water and mylicon drops to see if they will help with his gassiness and colic, too. If not, next comes acid reflux medication. Poor little man....I can't wait for him to get past all this so he can be his happy little self all the time. He is just so precious!!!
2 month photos - He has such personality - gotta love the faces!! :)
He has mastered the look Daddy gives Mommy already! Little stinker, haha!
Until next time....Peace out, Y'all! :)
