Chunky Monkey #2

L's 2 month well-check was today. It's official. Our little RockStar is chunky monkey #2. L's stats are as follows:

Weight: 13 lbs 11ozs (90th percentile)
Height: 23.5 inches (75th percentile)
Noggin: 40.9 cm (75th percentile)

He is 11ozs behind J's weight at this age, and 1/2 inch shorter. Obviously, L is determined to catch up. :) Here he is, excited to hear that Dr. H was happy with his check-up!

Here he is a minute later after finding out he had to get shots.


He did great during his check-up. All is well, and Dr. H was very impressed with L's sleeping and eating schedule. He was also excited to hear about J's first day at preschool and J was excited b/c he didn't have to get any shots!!!! LOL!

L is sleeping right now, but has been fairly fussy since getting home. He had to get two shots today, plus an oral vaccine for the Rotovirus. THANK GOODNESS this vaccine exists now. Not sure if you remember, but when J was just 13 months old, he got it and we ended up spending the night at the Children's Hospital b/c he was severely dehydrated. He had spent the three days prior to that expelling the most horrid smelling liquids ever from both ends. Seriously, it smells like nothing you will ever smell in your life. Needless to say, we are PRO-Roto vaccine (and all the rest too). But, we did decide to put L on a delayed vaccination schedule. All this means is that instead of getting 4 shots today, he only got 2 and we'll go back at the end of the month and get 2 more.

All in all it was a good visit, despite the shots. It's always reassuring to hear that L is perfect and growing and developing just as he should!
