2 Month Birthday!

Hello Everyone,

Today is Addison’s 2 month Birthday!

We celebrated by taking a trip to the pediatricians office and getting her 2 month vaccinations. Addison did really well for the two shots and an oral medication. She swallowed all of the oral vaccination for Rotavirus. She cried like she has never cried before when they poked her once in each thigh for the DTaP (Diptheria, Tentanus, & Pertussis), Hepatitis B, Polio, and Pneumococcal disease, but as soon as I picked her up she was fine. I, on the other hand, couldn’t even look at the needles and watch the poking…that was Tim’s job. I just held Addison’s upper body and tried not to cry too hard myself. The Hib vaccination was on back order so we have to come back next week and get another shot :(

Addison’s measurements at 2 months are:

Height: 23.25 inches, 66^th percentile
Weight: 12.75 pounds, 80^th percentile
Head: 14.75 inches, 7^th percentile
(I guess one of us parents has a small head!)

At her last checkup at 2 weeks she was:

Height: 20.5 inches, 56^th percentile
Weight: 8.1 pounds, 40^th percentile
Head: 14.0 inches, 38^th percentile

So you can see, in the last 6 weeks, she has grown a lot. The doctor said she looks good. I pulled her out of her car seat when we got home and she passed out in my lap before I could even stand up.

Aunt Jacquie and Aunt Lauren are visiting this week. Addison is having fun telling them about her first two months of life in the big world.

She is wearing her new hippy dress from bonnaroo where the auntie's were before coming to visit. Hope all is well.

Love,
