2 Month Check-up
Charlotte was two months old yesterday and today was her 2 month check-up. She got her first set of shots since being in the hospital and took them like a trooper! She, of course, screamed when actually getting the shots, but she calmed down within moments.
About 5 hours after her shots she did have a meltdown as the vaccines made her achy, but a little bit of baby Tylenol seems to have taken the edge off.
Official Stats: Weight: 8 lbs 15.8 oz Length: 20 inches
Our pediatrician said that 9 lbs would be a good goal for her 2 month check-up. Charlotte was only 0.2 oz short of our goal and we’re just fine with that. She’s thriving and her scrappy little body is becoming a nice little squishy one – the way a baby should be! She’s also a half inch taller than when she was born.
Footprints
We decided that we would do a footprint and a handprint at two months to see the difference from her birth prints. The handprint didn’t work out, she can make quite a fist. However, below is a comparison of her birth footprint made just a few hours after she was born and her two month print.
Other Pics
We’ve become big fans of the Moby Wrap – highly recommend it.
At the Dog Park
On evenings when the weather is a little less hostile, one of us will take Austin to the dog park to let him burn off some energy. The other evening was decent enough we also took Charlotte. We took turns standing outside the fence with her, but she was very engaged with her surroundings and watching the dogs.
