2-month checkup
We just returned from Sadie's two-month well baby visit and found out all kinds of interesting things about our (big) little girl. First of all, she's completely healthy and tracking perfectly on all of her milestones and growth charts. At 22.75 inches, she's in the 75% percentile for height and---surprise surprise---in the 90% percentile for weight, at a whopping 12.4 pounds. We have a wonderful pediatrician who Sadie seems to love (she's immediately soothed by the sound of his voice), and who takes his time explaining everything to us in detail. Unfortunately, the topic of discussion today was vaccines, of which Sadie received three---DPT, HepB, and Hib. Daddy held her hands while she screamed and I sobbed in the background, unable to watch. Poor little girl. She's recovering nicely so far, though, and doesn't seem fussy or feverish. We're armed with baby Tylenol drops just in case.

The question is, is Mom recovering nicely?? Baby Tylenol for Sadie, mimosas for Mom...and Dad, too!
Daddy wasn't sobbing, but only narrowly escaped. All you want to do is protect, so giving someone the go-ahead to stick her with a needle was...unnerving. She stopped crying almost right away though! What a brave little girl.
