We went for Jackson's two month check up this morning. He is exactly two months old today. I cant believe it! He had another great check up today. He weighed in at 10 pounds 8.4 ounces (25th percentile), length was 22 3/4 inches (50th percentile), and head circumference was 15 1/2 inches (25-50th percentile) The doctor said he is growing very well!!! He commented on his hair, as people usually do! At the end of the check up he got the dreaded two month vaccinations. He was so happy and playful throughout the whole visit. Little did he know what was coming. Poor baby!! It turned out to be 3 shots and one oral vaccination (rotavirus). He did very well!! He only cried a little bit and stopped after I picked him up. I'm so proud of him for handling it so well. Its now been a couple hours and he doesnt seem to be bothered by them but I will keep giving him Tylenol today to prevent soreness in those little legs. Now he doesnt have to go back until January, for a 4 month visit with the same shots all over again.
Also, for an update on Jack's sleep habits....he is still sleeping through the night! yay! Now instead of fussing in the middle of the night multiple times for his pacifier, the last few nights he has only done that once, if at all. I think we may also be able to start putting him down earlier too rather than 10:30 or 11 pm. The last two nights Toby said he had to wake him up to feed and then he has fallen asleep during the bottle (around 9:30 pm). He has forced him to take all of it and then put him down in the pack and play. After that Jack has only woken once in the night just for the pacifier and then has gone right back to sleep until about 7:45 a.m. How wonderful is that? For a long time Toby was having such a hard time putting Jack down at night. It was sometimes taking up to 2 hours after his bottle to get him comfortable where he would sleep. Maybe, just maybe, those days are over! We will keep our fingers crossed.
Jackson is so healthy! Wonderful news! And he was so brave getting those vaccinations. Thanks for the updates Linds. I love knowing what is happening for Jackson every step of the way.
