Little Ted had his 2 month check up on September 18th. Here are his current stats:
22 1/4 inches long (25th percentile)
11 lbs, 6 oz (50th percentile)
16 inch head circumference (70th percentile)
We were surprised that he didn't measure any longer. He seems huge to us, and when he was born, he was in the 90th percentile. I guess all his growth is happening in his head.
The poor little guy also had to suffer through some vaccinations. It was pretty terrible, but he toughed it out and was laughing and cooing by the time we left the doctor's office. But 3 hours later, he was in pain. His little legs (where he received the injections) turned bright red and his feet looked swollen. We tried to call the doctor's office to get some advice, but the answering service was not working (grr!). Eventually, the infant's Tylenol we gave him alleviated his pain and he slept well, but he had us worried for awhile.
A plus that came out of the not-so-fun vaccinaion experience: we decided to put him in his crib, not the bassinet in our room, so that he would have more space and would not put pressure on his legs at night. He took to his crib just fine and now sleeps there, which means that mom gets a little more rest at night because she isn't awakened by every one of his movements.
The next appointment is in November, at which time we will talk about getting Little Ted onto solid foods (already!). Not looking forward to the shots at all, but we are excited to see how big he will be in two months' time.
