2 month check-up

I took Brian to his 2 month check-up yesterday. Poor guy had a rough day yesterday- he woke up during the night with a goopy eye (luckily his doctors appointment was already scheduled for yesterday), then at his appointment he had to have his blood drawn from his foot to check his anemia, then he had to take an oral vaccine, and get 3 shots in his legs with more vaccines. Then because of his eye infection, he has to have ointment put into his eyes. He was not a happy baby yesterday. Today he seems to be doing much better and his eye already looks like it's mostly cleared up. Unfortunately we have to keep giving him the ointment for a week, and his blood results came back showing that the level is still a little low, so we have to keep giving him iron which upsets his stomach. Hopefully that will go up soon so we can take him off of the iron. I was shocked to see his weight, though! Brian weighs 9 pounds 6 ounces!!! That's exactly 4 pounds more than his last appointment on August 20th, triple his birth weight. Crazy how fast he's growing! He is a little over 20 inches long and his head is 14 inches. Here are his percents with other 2 month old babies:

6.75% for weight
.81% for length
4.15% for head

So, he's still small for 2 months old, but he was 2 months early, so nothing to worry about. I wish they would give the stats for his gestational age, but oh well. Here's some pictures we've taken recently:

We went to the Puyallup Fair on Monday- Brian slept the whole time except to eat, so we didn't take many pictures.

He looked so cute in the monster outfit Aunt Lisa got him

Concerned about getting his picture taken- this is a onesie Ben's grandma sent: "Mommy and Daddy's alarm clock"- so true!!


His favorite place to sleep- propped up on a pillow on our bed. I think he might be getting spoiled.... he doesn't like to sleep in his bassinet in the night!
