2 Months Old!

Today was Tommy's 2 month doctor appointment.

Yay! We get to find out how much he's grown. 
 BOO! He had to get shots. 

Tommy is waiting on the doctor.  He has no idea what's coming...

He had fun playing with his gown.  

Action shot! 

Soooo how is Tommy growing? He is 23 3/4 inches putting him in the 75th percentile for height. He is 11 lbs 15 oz which is 50th percentile for weight.  He's still long and skinny, just like his crazy feet. The doctor even said his feet were big.  Big and CUTE! :)  (No, that was me. The doctor did not say that.)

Then the doctor said the nurse will be coming in to give the shots and got the heck out of there.  Yeah, make her do the dirty work. So she did.  She gave him a vaccine by mouth and then 3 shots in the legs.  It was horrible.  He screamed, his chin quivered, he shook, it was awful.

When he's about to cry he sticks his lip out like this. At the doctor, he didn't have time to stick his lip out. Automatic scream face.


As soon as he was done Andrew picked him up and he was fine.  Then I fed him for 3 minutes and he fell into a deep sleep.  He slept for about an hour.  Then he woke up and was in a great mood.  I mean GREAT. We thought, AWESOME, he's going to rebound fast.  We were totally wrong. 
It didn't take long for him to realize his legs hurt and he was not feeling very good.  More screaming.  Hopefully he'll recover soon.  It's so sad to see him so upset.  :(

So what else is going on with Tommy when he's not recovering from shots?  He's cooing and talking a LOT.  Sometimes he just yells for the fun of it.  He talks to his bear mobile.  They have become good friends.  He's always telling them long stories. 

 Such a happy boy!

He also has moved to his crib in own room.  Oh boy.  No more pack n play in our bedroom.  It was hard for mom the first night but Tommy did just fine.  In fact, it's still hard for mom.  I check on him several times after he has gone to sleep and again in the morning if I wake up before him.  He moves around a lot in his crib.  He will start the night long-wise then we'll find him in the morning rotated 90 degrees. 

Tommy is a lot of fun.  He's still good at making funny faces. 

But he's REALLY good at smiling and moving. 

Happy Two Month Birthday Tommy!

  1. I hate the shots, still do, I always gave Max tylenol before the drs. appt or in the waiting room, hopefully that something would help.
