yesterday miles got his 2 months shots...finally! he is almost 3months old by now! but his prior appointment fell right after his hospital stay so we had to delay until his esophagus was healed up and we were sure he was 100% healthy. in fact, the medicine seems to be working wonderfully! miles is a happy little boy and he smiles a lot! he is starting to sleep longer too, usually 4-6hrs at night. miles still spits up all the time, so the dr is planning to continue giving him the medicine until he is 6months old or until he stops spitting up.
the nurses were parading him around the office saying he looked like a baby model and had the softest skin. the doctor seemed so happy that miles was feeling better, he thought he looked great, was holding his head up well, and was developing a personality. he is 24 inches long now...we have a 2ft long baby!! and he weighed 12 lbs 2 oz. he is right on the growth curve, about the 30th percentile...a far cry from the 2nd percentile he started out in!
miles did really well drinking the oral vaccine, then the nurse gave him 3 quick shots in his little thighs and gave him army camouflage band-aids. he cried a really sad cry that i've never heard before while she was poking him. but right when she handed him to me, i gave him his pacifier and held him close and he quieted right down. yesterday he seemed a little sad, whimpering occasionally, but otherwise seemed just fine. i never did give him any tylenol or anything because he seemed to be feeling okay. vaccinated...check!
