This morning was Rosie's "two month" checkup and her first round of vaccinations. She did really well with the shots. She only cried for a minute. By the time I had her dressed again, she was already calming down, and she fell asleep as soon as I put her in the carseat.
Her measurements are pretty crazy. She is 24 1/2 inches and 12 pounds! **EDIT: Height is 98%tile, weight is 77%tile, head circumference is 78%tile, and weight for length is only 2.63%tile! that's actually an improvement, though. last time she was only 1.42%tile for weight-for-length.**She's hitting all her milestones perfectly, and gave the doctor and the nurse some great big HUGE smiles. It was too cute.
She's been having a little more trouble with her reflux, which the doctor said was normal at 2 months, so we're upping her prevacid to a whole dose (she was on half a dose). Hopefully that makes her the happy healthy baby she was for those blissful 5 or 6 days.
Other than that, she still won't take a bottle, but starts mouthing the second she sees a syringe, and also sucks on her fist like crazy, but promptly spits out the pacifier. Her poor little fingers are getting all chapped, so I have to put lanolin on them. She's also still waking up every 3 hours at night to eat, but falls back asleep well most of the time.
So all together, the little rough spots aren't too bad, and we're getting them worked out. Life is finally falling into a rhythm, and we feel so blessed.
