2-Month Checkup

Andrew had his first series of immunizations today! Dr. James was swift and did them while I stepped out to the bathroom. Andrew had a quick holler but soon was fine. No big deal, actually! In fact, he cried in the car the whole way *to* the doctor's office and was fine for the car ride home.
His stats:
14.25 lbs
24 1/2" long
He has established himself on the big-boy curve, in the 95th percentile for weight and height and 75th percentile for head circumference.

Dr. James affixes a bandaid and some pressure on the injection site.

Mmmmm a special drink to top it off.
You can see how he's losing his long baby hair in this picture.
The new growth is about 1/4" and the same color, maybe a little lighter.

All smiles back at home!

Baby Jack is born!

Don't they look great??!
I had to swoop by w/baby Andy~ and deliver a "Brest Friend" feeding pillow!
It was such a great help to us- I couldn't help but get one for her too. Funny, I told some random pregnant Mom at Babies R Us how great it was while buying it... "Oh, I've used pillows for my last two just fine." Ummmm, ok, heh-heh-m-heh.... But seriously, I (we) would have suffered without it.
Anyhow, Sara reported that Jack was one of three red-heads that day!

Soon after I arrived, Sara's Mom did:I am glad I could capture these photos for her!
An admitting nurse came in so our visit was interrupted (ok, usual hospital b.s. I encountered also)... but Andy started fussing for a meal anyhow so I fed him in the solarium and we took off to beat the rainy-day traffic home. A nurse held Andy for me while I went to the bathroom and when I came back, they were all gathered around- amazed at how big he was- in just 2 months!

Every day is new excitement- he has become quite the conversationalist in coo and oohs and ahhhs and such. Last night, he set an all-time sleep recond of 10 hours 15 minutes and as a bonus, I slept 9 hours straight. Can't recall the last time that happened!
Speaking of bed, tomorrow is a big day, his 2-month appointment and first-ever immunizations! YIKES!!!
