We celebrated your 2 month birthday in the worst way possible--with shots! Mommy tried having Lidocaine on your legs to help numb, unfortunately it wasn't on long enough to really do anything and you felt all 4 sticks. You cried and cried til you were purple and I would have given anything for it to have been me and not you. Soon as they were over though, you were a champ and quieted down and took a nap. You were a bit fussy about 2 hours later, I guess your little legs were hurting, after about an hour though you calmed down and now, 2 days later, you seem no worse for wear. The immunizations always make me a more nervous wreck because I was allergic to my shots and they never gave me another set because of my reaction. Thankfully Bailey had no reaction to any of hers so I was hoping you wouldn't either, and you didnt!! So you're good to go for another 2 months yet. Your next set is on October 29.
In other 2 month check up news....your weight is now 11 pounds 14 ounces, and you are 24 inches long!! That's a whole 3 inches longer in 2 months!! You were in the 95 percentile for length, and 55 percentile for weight. You are still a total booby baby, they did give you vitamins containing flouride now and Dr Makres said in 2 months we can start you on solids! That seems so amazing, I had no idea that you could give them baby food that early. I think we'll start off simple, maybe with just cereal in your milk to get you used to it. My plan is to make your baby food from organic veggies, we'll see how that goes.
You continue to grow and change on a daily basis! You coo and talk and squeal to your mobile, begging those animals to come down and play. You've discovered that your right arm is indeed attached to your body and sometimes you get lucky and it lands in your mouth, other times you are content sucking on your wrist, or whatever part you capture. You still absolutely love taking a bath, and after getting all you creases and crevices clean, we let you kick around in there and I know you're already a front runner for the swim team. You almost move your legs and arms in harmony, and love when they splash. Some baths you must be really thirsty, cause that tongue is in and out constantly trying to catch a drop.
My little baby is growing to quickly into a little girl and I'm trying to slow time down and enjoy every second. I truly feel I've finally found my place in life, I was made to be your mom, and conceited or not, I'm proud of how well I do it.
To me, there is truly nothing better in life than my children.
Love
Mommy

GAH! Our shots are coming :-( Baby loves his baths here too - when we have spare time at night we take a bath together and let me tell you... taking a bath with baby and nursing in the bathtub is for some reason absolutely amazing. Maybe it's that skin to skin contact they say is so good? I don't know, but it's great. We can both relax.
