Connor's 2 Month Check-up

Connor had his 2 month check-up yesterday and got his first immunization shots. Above is a picture of him that evening w/ his band aids. I knew more of what to expect this go around w/ Connor because I had just gone through the same thing w/ Cade a year before. I still felt bad for him of course, poor little thing screamed and screamed. On the 2nd shot Connor kicked really hard as the nurse was taking out the needle and she scrapes his leg! I felt so bad, that was one extra prick he didn't need! But, he settled down quickly once he received all 3 shots and it was over with.
Oh, a little side note: I went in with a few concerns about Connor and got some answers. Connor is a very gassy child, which makes him very uncomfortable. To find a solution to this problem I need to keep a log book of things I eat 6-8 hrs prior to him getting gassy so we can figure out what I'm eating that's making him so dang gassy! I also thought that him not going poop for days at a time was related to this problem, come to find out it's totally unrelated. The doctor said that only for nursing babies is it common for them to go days or even up to a week at a time w/o pooping! So, that's one less thing I have to worry about. Well, besides the fact that he could explode in his pants at any second, ugh, not fun at all! Finally, he has been having a hard time sleeping for the past few nights b/c he's been really stuffed up and couldn't breathe. Come to find out...he has a double ear infection! Poor little guy, it seems like he has a lot going on right now. But, for as much is going on in his life right now he is a great baby! I'm really lucky.

Results:
2 week check-up: 7.69 lbs 20%; 20.5 in 42%; head 14.2 in 27%
2 month 1 wk check-up: 12.69 lbs 66%; 23.75 in 72%; head 15.7 in 42%

So he has grown a lot! If you really want to you can go to last August and compare the size of Cade and Connor. (Connor is a lot bigger, well not in the head)

He fell asleep on our trip to Costco to get his prescription for his ear infection after. This was him for several hours after we got home. He slept for most the evening. All that crying must have warn him out!
