2 month well baby visit

Well, I am happy to report we have a healthy boy still! :-) He is now weighing in at a whopping 12 lbs. 8 oz. and is almost 23 inches long. He had his DTaP, Hib-Hep B, IPV, and Pneumococcal Conjugate shots ...now what all of these are, I am not sure...Mandy? Anyway...he started crying before the shots began b/c he didn't like being held down and one of them gushed blood pretty bad but stopped almost immediately after the guy put gauze on it. After the shots were done, he calmed right down and actually fell asleep. I did give him Tylenol 1 hour before hand so that might have helped. I am also happy to report he received his first bandaids also...Snoopy! :-) Oh and he slept for 7 1/2 hours straight last night as well...maybe getting shots is a good thing for him...just kidding! Well, that is all for now.

DTaP is diphtheria, tetanus and activated pertusis.

Hib is Haemophilus influenza B.

Hep B is hepatitis b.

IPV is for polio (i think the i is for inactivated.)

Pneumococcal is for pneumonia.
