Okay, so today was the day for his shots! The day I have been anticipating to see his progress, but of course dreading as I know they will stick him with those mean needles!
Everything seemed to go great and he seems to be progressing and developing as to plan. He now weighs 11.7 lbs, which is in the 50 % percentile, which is average. Dr. Isenhower was very pleased with his weight and so was I since the little guy spits up with the best of them! He is now at 24 1/4 inches long, which is in the 90th percentile in height. Seems to still be considered a "tall" one. We hope that keeps up!
The red stuff on his cheeks and chin is in fact eczema and she recommended using vasoline (Thanks Kim :)) to heal it right up pretty quick. We had been using Aveeno, which has helped, but this should speed it up pretty quick. She mentioned eczema is pretty normal in babies. He also has cradle cap, which basically means his head is dry. Rubbing baby oil on it 10 minutes before bath should do the trick there. Let's see, what else. Oh yes, his infamous red toes!! They are in fact in grown, (of course they are). This is apparently a little normal as well. We are to (after bath time) rub neosporin on the red area and massage/push the toe nail forward to grow in the right direction. Anyhow, all else looks good.
SHOT TIME----- YUCK! He received 3 shots today, and he did as well as to be expected when your getting stuck in the leg 3 times with needles! He cried of course, but settled down pretty quick and went to sleep. I have to admit, I actually did NOT cry, can you believe it? I cannot, I don't know why I didn't. Regardless, we both survived! We had Minna there to help too and we appreciated that a lot.
Okay, so that's that. Just wanted to give you an update on his 2-month progress.
Love and miss you all!
