Happy 2 Month Birthday Noah!!

Today we went for Noah's 2 month check-up. Everything is going great. He is really healthy. He weighed 12 lbs 4 oz and was 22 1/2 inches long. He went from the 18th percentile in weight to the 65th! He is definitely not starving. He did have 5 immunizations; 1 oral and 4 shots in his thighs. Two nurses synchronize their shots. So he gets 2 shots at once. After the first 2 he did start crying, but when he got the last 2 he screamed bloody murder. It was the saddest thing ever!

She did give me pointers on how to make him sleep better. I didn't know that when they wiggled out of their swaddle at this age that it wasn't on purpose. I knew his reflexes weren't good but I thought he could control them more than he can. So, i stopped swaddling him at night because he would squirm out. She suggested to swaddle him tighter because they don't like when their arms and legs flair uncontrollably. So we will try that and we truly hope it works.











His little sore legs.














This is what he looked like at the doctor today.

I hate shots! It is the most heart breaking thing in the world. I hope that the sleeping tips help. Staying up until 3am just won't cut it will it?
