2 month doctor visit

Zonked out with Daddy after vaccines

Dear Bennett,

Today was your 2 month doctor visit. You know what that means. . .vaccines! At the last minute Daddy chickened out so I had to sit by you during the vaccines. The first one went fine - it was an oral medicine and the nurse said that hopefully you were hungry and would eat it. I told her that shouldn't be a problem. :) Sure enough, you gobbled it up. The shots didn't go nearly as well. The nurse was good and gave you the 3 shots very quickly, but it was so sad to watch your happy face turn to confusion and then you started bawling. It made me want to cry too! We were prepared though - we had brought a bottle of milk so as soon as they put the bandaids on I gave you to daddy and he gave you the bottle. For a second you looked like you couldn't decide if you wanted to keep crying or drink your bottle, but then you quieted right down to take your milk. . .although you made sure to have a very grumpy face the whole time so that we knew you were still upset with us!

Other than that, your visit went very well. You were in a pretty good mood for the doctor. He said you have a nice round head. We were worried we'd have to clip your tongue at this visit (last visit the doctor was worried you were a little tongue-tied) but it was looking much more normal so we didn't have to. Also the doctor prescribed some medicine for your reflux so hopefully you won't be so uncomfortable after meals anymore. The doctor said a couple times that in the next couple months things would get much better so not to sell you on ebay yet. We really didn't know what he meant because you are such a good baby! We have never had a reason to wish you would hurry up and get a little older - we are having so much fun with you just the way you are!
