2 month well-check

We took Cade for his 2 month check-up and vaccinations on Friday. He now weighs 11 pounds 8 ounces (45%), is 22.75 inches long (42%), and his head is 16 inches (64%). He is a growing boy!

Our pediatrician examined him and she thinks that his stiff neck and flat spot on his head are looking A LOT better! She is very impressed with the progress we have made working with Cade and thinks that if we keep doing his neck stretches that all will be well and we can avoid Cade needing a helmet! YIPEE!!! She will examine him again at his 4 month appointment and make the final decision then.

Cade got an oral vaccination and 3 shots while we were at the doctor. Poor baby screamed initially but calmed down pretty quickly. The MA that gave him the shots was great and so quick giving the shots. We gave him tylenol before our appointment and then gave him tylenol every 4 hours throughout the day. He was definitely more fussy than usual all day and we could tell that he just wasn't feeling like his normal self. Hopefully he'll be back to his normal smiley self soon but in the mean time we will be enjoying our little cuddle bug!
