This baby went to the doctor for
his two month check-up last week
This was the result:
(look at that devastated bottom lip)
These are the vitals:
14 lbs. 6 oz.
24 1/2 inches tall
and since we like to start comparing our children early on here in America that puts him in the:
95th percentile in weight & 93rd percentile in height (head is 85th)
What I learned:
- shots are just as sad for mommies as they are for babies
- babies' legs get sore after shots resulting in at least a few hours of sad babies
- don't take babies to jewelery parties the same day as their shots
- especially not jewelry parties an hour away (long car rides are bad)
- when babies' legs are sore they don't like to eat
- yanking off band-aids on babies' skin is not pleasant for anyone
Anything else I should know for the 4 month shots? Our first experience really wasn't THAT bad, but I didn't like knowing that he was in pain at all. Luckily after about a day and a half he was back to his normal happy self and he seems to have forgiven me for letting the nurse stab him with needles 4 times.
Ah, the joys of being a mommy. :)

What a darling baby! His mom is beautiful too.
I made Kyle take Margo to get all her shots. I am terrified of neddles and would probably pass out having to watch them do it to my baby.
I always gave my babies a bit of Tylenol right before their dr. visits. I think it helped. Baby G is beautiful, and it sounds like you are a wonderful mom.
I've loved reading about your cute family. I have a daughter that would love to go to Romania, did you go thru BYU?

Debbie,
I gave G Tylenol later on that day-- I should have done it before. I'll do that next time.
Yes, I went to Romania through BYU and then I worked for the Romania program at BYU for a year and a half before I graduated. It is truly an amazing program and I would HIGHLY recommend it. If your daughter has any questions about it she can email me. I am still close with all of the professors and teachers at BYU so I'm sure I could put in a good word :).
I remember when John got his six month shots. He watched the nurse push the needle in and then waited ten seconds and screamed.

Hey Liz!
I thought I'd make a comment linking you to my blog. I've started and deleted a few over the past few months, but I think I'll keep this one up-to-date--it's a good way to stay in touch with family and friends.
I've been checking out your blog. It's adorable. Your little family is so cute and your baby is gorgeous. I hope I get to see him sometime soon.
Love,
Ash B
Hm...maybe that didn't work.

Alaura's head was off the charts at her 2 month sheck up and it didn't get back on until she was 9 months or so. My babies got a big brain I guess. i'm going to sound hiorrible asking this, but what is your little guys name? It says baby G everywhere, and I never heard what his full name was. Sorry.
Love Brooke
