His 2 month birthday also marked a significant doctor's appointment- his first set of immunizations. I was nervous that we would be dealing with our first temperature as a result of the shots, so, not having any baby medicine here, had Kevin rush out to get some Infant's Tylenol in preparation. So, the nurse first prepped us that Leo would be getting 3 shots and one oral immunization. I asked the nurse if the oral one was flavored- makes sense right? I mean you go to any pharmacy and they will flavor your kids meds. Her response was no, it tastes disgusting, and the babies usually cry and spit it out. Well, our little Leo opened wide and took that medicine like a champ! No tears for my big boy (with the oral vaccine, that is.) The 3 injections to the thigh were a different story. Most of us adults would agree, those sticks to the arm hurt (I am thinking of my yearly flu vaccine where my deltoid is sore for several days.) Leo did cry and I felt so bad for him. But within minutes he was nestled in his car seat and sleeping. AND, remember that Tylenol Kevin rushed out to get? No need for it- Leo never had any ill effects from the vaccines this time around! YAY for a healthy baby!
So along with his vaccines, Leo got weighed and measured at this appointment. I will report his stats in a moment but I first must say this. The pediatrician told us that he was in 75th percentile for length and weight so he was pleased- mommy's response- "That's it? I was hoping for 90th percentile!" Yes...I am one of those...anyway here are his stats and some 2 month old pics!
Length: 23 & 3/8 inches
Weight: 12 pounds 12 ounces
Just for a reminder of what Leo looked like at 1 month:

All stretched out at 2 months!
I took one million shots- no kidding...
These cheeks are for real!
Sitting like a big boy in the Bumbo seat-
it's enough work for him to hold up his head
so he is not doing anything with his hands just yet while sitting here
