2 month check

Today was Eli's 2 month doctor's appointment. He was such a good boy through the entire thing. He weighed in at 13 pounds 5.8 ounces (85-90th percentile), measured 24-1/2 inches long (95 percentile) and his head circumference was 40-1/2 cm (50-75th percentile). So, as we all know, he's a big boy!! Doctor commented that he's gaining weight nicely (if we remember, he WAS almost 9 pounds when he was born!). She also commented that he is very strong - he was pushing against her when he didn't like what she was doing - and that he tracks well, following her as she moved. All in all, we're pretty lucky with a text book baby. His eating and sleeping habits are pretty much what the books say they're supposed to be doing at this age. It's a good thing we're a family of readers so he can keep reading what he needs to do next! He also got some vaccinations today. I didn't want to have them all done at onec so he got one shot today - PediaRix which includes 3 vaccines - and the oral Rotavirus. I don't know if I could have taken two more shots today. Eli screamed bloody murder when they stuck him. Granted he only screamed for a second but it was traumatic while it lasted. BUT for all his trouble, he got a big boy band aid with Elmo on it. =) I'll take him back on the 2nd to get the other two that he was supposed to get today - HIB and Prevnar. The doctor told me that there was no medical reason for me to split them up, I just felt more comfortable not overloading his little immune system just yet. He was such a champ and other than the shot scream, did extremely well at the doctor's office.

Here's today's picture - it's so hard to carry all that cute around!!
