Two-month appointment

Well, we were hoping for double digits for my weight but I'm not quite there yet. I've gained one pound and two ounces since my last visit three weeks ago, which puts me at nine pounds, four ounces. I've also grown one inch, making me 21.5 inches long. I'm still around the fifth percentile for weight and height for my age. But my doctor says I'm growing fine... I'm just small. Everything else looks good!

I also got some vaccines yesterday. I had to take one by mouth and then I got four shots - two in each leg! I was very brave and while I did cry, I didn't get nearly as hysterical as my parents thought I would get. I ended up with two fluorescent orange bandaids to show for my troubles (see picture.)


I continued to do well once I got home. My parents were expecting fussiness but I slept for several hours, woke up for a little while in the evening, and then went right back to sleep at 11:30 and slept all night again until about 6:45.
