2 month check up

Cody had his two month check up on Tuesday, November 16.  Our little man weighed in a t 10 lbs. 8 oz. and was 23.5 inches long.  His weight is average and height is a little above average.  He is a long, skinny baby!  The Dr. said that he is doing great - a very healthy boy. 

Unfortunately, he also had his first round of shots at that appointment.  We were prepared though!  Cody had some baby tylenol about a half hour before his appointment.  When the nurse came in to give him the shots, I was a little nervous.  My sweet boy all happy, cuddled and warm in my arms had no idea what was about to happen to him.  (That still breaks my heart!)  The nurse gave him his first shot in his left leg.  We almost got away without any crying during that one!  Cody was such a big boy!  He had this look on his face like he wasn't quite sure what was happening to him.  He only started crying when she pulled the needle out.  He calmed down, and then it was on to the other leg for two more shots.  He was not a happy Cody, but as soon as I picked him up, he calmed down and was fine. 

They told us that he probably wouldn't be himself for a couple of days, and that he would most likely be sleepy the rest of that day.  Well, we have a strong boy!!  He was just fine!  Wasn't too sleepy, and he was his happy, sweet self again by the time we got home.  We didn't have any problems with fever and no bruising where the shots were given. 

I just pray that our next appointment at four months goes as well as this one!!
