Monday Beckett had his two month appointment. That means one thing, er five things, immunizations. But before the shots (and one drink) we got to do the fun part, the weighing and measuring. As you can see by the pictures below, the days of his scrawny little chicken legs are long gone. They had quite a handful in which to put his shots. He now weights 14 pounds 1 ounce and is 23 inches long. He's pretty much off the chart in weight and around 65% percentile or so in height. (That is if I'm reading the height chart correctly.) The doctor was very excited at his chubby thighs. She says to keep feeding him so I guess I shouldn't worry that he can no longer wear most of his 0-3 month clothes.
The sacrifical baby awaits his stabbing.
Poor Beckett had to get two shots in each leg. Here is a close up of those chunky, wounded thighs.
He screamed during the actual shots but calmed down pretty well afterward. He was fussy and a little ornery the rest of the day, but he spent most of the time sleeping so it worked out okay. Today he was back to his talkative, cheerful self.
Even as an adult, I am fussy and ornery when I have to get shots... guess it never changes! :o) He sure is getting bigger!
ReplyDeleteawww! what a brave little guy! baby shots are the saddest thing! i had to just sit there and picture how sad he would be if he got whooping cough to get myself to really go through with it. =( i guess the whole parenting "this hurts me more than it hurts you" is already beginning... good job dawnell! =)
ReplyDeleteI love how chubby and round his little legs are!!! He better enjoy this because never again in his life will doughy soft legs be attractive. For now, he looks squishable and cuddley- I can't wait to snuggle him.
