Today was Charlie's 2 month check-up with the pediatrician. Everything went well. Charlie now weighs 12 pounds 11 ounces. He is 23 3/4" long and his head measures 16 3/4". The pediatrician was surprised that he had put on as much weight as he did. He gained 4 pounds in the last month and a half. She said he's just a healthy, growing, little boy. Dr. McGee charted his measurements and said he is the size of an average three month old. No wonder Charlie is rapidly outgrowing his clothes!
Unfortunately, the 2 month check-up is when all babies get their immunizations. Charlie had five shots and an oral immunization. He screamed. It broke my heart but I knew it had to be done. He has faired well so far. I'm sure he will sleep a good bit tonight and tomorrow since I am suppose to give him Tylenol every 4 hours for the pain from the shots.
Thank you Lord for giving me a healthy, growing boy. He is truly a wonderful example of the work of Your hands. Please guide Daniel and me as we raise him. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Also, who knew your tongue can be the most entertaining thing for a two month old? :) Charlie and I had fun last night sticking our tongues out at each other. He got a big kick out of watching and listening to me make funny noises with my tongue. Oh the weird things we do...
