2 month Check-Up

With a 9-week birth anniversary comes certain responsibilities. And, in this case, they were not altogether pleasant.

On Friday, Alex had his 2-month check up.

Among other things, we learned that our little donut-hole is growing at a faster than average pace. At one month, he was 30%-ile in weight. He's now 53%-ile, having weighed in at a lumbering 11 lbs, 9 ozs. At 23-inches, his height is about 47%-ile.

Unfortunetely, Alex also got a battery of vaccinations. They resulted in short-term and medium-term discomfort and screams of dissatisfaction. As the past three days went by, we also learned that the the side-effects of the shots were annoying. Alex was apt to be drowsy and had a suppressed appetite, making mealtime no picnic.

Now, three days later, he seems to have cleared these silly symptoms.

Much better.
