We went to the doctor yesterday for his 2 month check up. He got his first set of immunizations, which I'm happy about. It was sad though! He got 3 shots and one orally in the mouth (although he didn't seem to mind that one...he just ate it like it was nothing). They give them all of the shots in their thighs!! Of ALL the painful places!! I would think the thigh would not be a place I would want to receive shots. Poor little guy. He cried, but then I picked him up and tried to soothe him. He stopped crying pretty quickly, but was just fussing a little as we walked out. By the time we hit the car he was asleep. I was worried he was going to be fussy and have fever all day, but not our little guy! He was still smiling and everything. I mean there was a couple fussy moments, but for the most part he was happy as usual. We finally got an official height and weight.... 24 inches / 13 lbs. 4 oz.!!! He is in the 90th percentile for both!! Big boy!! I guess the good news is he is proportional... just short and fat or tall and skinny. He's perfectly proportional!!! Hahah :) Besides that, I have become one of those moms that wants to save everything. (Not that that is surprising since I am the biggest pack rat ever.) Is it weird that I saved the Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny band aids they put on his shots???? I'm gonna put them in his baby book.
I cut his nails for the first time 2 days ago. It was quite difficult!! I was trying soooo hard not to cut him that I don't even think I ended up taking anything off.. haha. I filed them down more than anything else. His nails aren't even that long. I just did it because he finally scratched himself so I thought it was time.
Also... he is now shooting up in size. I felt like it took forever for him to grow out of the newborn stuff, and now he's in the 3 month stuff (snuggly might I add). He moved out of the newborn diapers back in March (We bought the first set of Size 1 diapers the week of March 18th.) Now he is pretty much ready to move to the next size. The exciting part about that is that we have a whole new set of clothes he fits into!!
Ohhhh yeah! And I have to write about his turning over (although everyone that reads this probably already knows.) He has started turning himself over from his belly to his back. He did it a few times and now he starts but gets frustrated... I'm sure he'll do it again soon.
Well that's all I can think of off the top of my head for now. I keep saying I'm going to write more often, but let's face it...I have a new baby.... I am enjoying all my extra time with Collin... not playing on the computer... I'll try to type more often! :)
Check out all the pictures I have been meaning to post. They are from back in March all the way until tonight. Make sure you look at him in his Easter outfit! :) (Oh and not to brag, but the nurse at the doctor's office yesterday told us he looked like an Anne Geddes baby.... I personally think so too!!)
This is my favorite picture!!
