Two Month Appointment

Claire had her two-month check up with the doctor today. Her current stats are:

Height - 22 inches (30th percentile)
Weight - 9 lbs., 11.5 oz. (25th percentile)
Head - 38.4 cm (48th percentile)

She's little but healthy! The cold doesn't seem to be bothering her too much - she only seems congested when she first gets up in the morning. The two-month appointment brings with it several vaccinations - she received vaccines for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, Hepatitis B, rotavirus and Prevnar. One oral dose and 5 shots is a lot for a little baby, but fortunately we had a good nurse who was really quick. I felt so sorry for Claire - she turned red and screamed at the top of her lungs, but calmed down pretty quickly once it was over. At least I managed not to cry this time. :) She fell asleep as soon as we got in the car and continued to nap in the carrier for about two hours:


She took another long nap this afternoon while I held her in the sling, so Robert and I decided that we just need to be available for extra cuddling at her next appointment - I'll plan on taking the afternoon off from work. She should be back to herself by tomorrow!

That picture is precious. She just looks totally exhausted... what a wonderful idea for her next round of shots. What attentive, loving parents she has been blessed with!
