2 Month Check-Up

Have I mentioned to you how much we love our pediatrician!? Dr. Hanson is the best. I actually kind of looked forward to Landon's 2 month appointment today because I knew we'd get to visit with her a bit! She so sweetly assures us every time we see her that Landon looks great and we're doing everything right... what new parents couldn't use that?

We found out today that Landon weighs 13 lbs and 3 oz. Compared to other babies born at 38 weeks gestation, that makes him a 95-96%ile baby! Whoa! He's also 22 inches long (4 inches taller than he was at birth), so about the 18%ile! Dr. Hanson reminded us that it's not indicative of his future stats, but it makes ya wonder a bit!

Other mamas know that the 2 month appointment marks the first of a huge number of vaccinations. So today, Landon received one oral vaccine and three shots in his chubby thighs! (See baby, your extra chub came in handy today!). Does it make us bad parents if we snuck a few pics during and after the immunizations?

Here he is with Dad before the appointment. (Yes, that's Tony... with his "hunting beard")

Look at that cute profile! Do you think his nose looks familiar?

 

Relaxin' on the exam table.

Owie. This was after 1 oral vaccine and 3 shots.

"Whaaaaaa? What did you guys DO to me!?"

A hug from Mom makes it all better.

Crayon band-aids. And a sad Daddy.

We're actually very proud of baby for taking this appointment like a champ. He's been dozing for most of the afternoon, and just now woke to eat and get a new diap. He did cry for a few minutes now too... I suppose his legs ache a bit. We'll see if a little infant Tylenol does the trick.
