First Round of Shots

Daddy and Mommy took me to the doctor today for my 2 month check up.  I also had to get my first set of shots.  Yikes!  Mommy was VERY nervous for these.  According to the doc, I now weigh 10 pounds 7.5 ounces and am 22 3/4 inches long.  I am in the 50% percentile for head circumference, 40% percentile for length and 50% percentile for weight.  Doing fabulous!

I got 3 shots(2 in the left leg and one in the right) and a had to drink something.  All of these covered a rotavirus shot, hep B, tetanus, Dtap, Hib, IPV, and some other stuff that I don't understand.  I was in shock and cried really hard but only for a little while.  My face got as red as a tomato.  Daddy was there comforting me during while Mommy comforted me afterwards.  I fell asleep very soon after the shots and stayed asleep for a long while.  The doctor says that I may get a slight temperature and/or get fussy so my parents should give me baby tylenol to help with both.  My doctor also said that Mommy shouldn't be waking me up in the middle of the night to feed anymore because I can be sleeping through the night without eating now!  What a big girl I am becoming!!!

Some things that I recently starting doing include sucking on my fists or thumbs and being awake for longer during the day.  I stopped using my swaddle blankets and can sleep for long periods of time without them!  I think I know who my parents are because when I am with someone new or someone I haven't seen in a while, I stare at them and act very interested and calm.  I love staring at the sky and trees when I am outside.
