Addison turned 2 months old on September 23rd (the day she was baptized) but she just had her 2 month well baby visit today. She is 24 1/2 inches long (97th percentile), weighs 13 lbs 8 oz (90th %ile), and her head is 34.5 cm (25th %ile). I pulled out Liv's baby book to compare and at Liv's 2 month visit, she was 1 lb lighter and 1 inch shorter but her head was 3.5 cm (1.4 in) bigger. So, does Addison have a small head or did Liv have a big one??
Addison and Olivia both got shots. Liv got her flu shot and Addison got 5 vaccinations in 3 shots and an oral vaccine. Liv went first. With getting 3 shots, I knew Addison would end up screaming so I thought it would be wise to get Olivia's shot first. That way she didn't see Addison's reaction to the shots and freak out before the needle even got close to her leg. The nurse did a great job giving the shot quickly. Liv cried a little but really did well. She was proud of her band-aid and the sticker she was given for being a great patient. I gave her a lollipop in the car on the way home and before we made it home, she was already telling me her "boo boo" was "all better".
Addison did well with the oral vaccine but didn't care for the 3 shots. She started to scream with the first shot and got louder and more red-faced with #2 and #3. By the time she was done getting her shots, her face was an amazing shade of dark red.....sort of like the color of a Dr. Pepper soda can. Fortunately, she calmed down pretty quickly, went back to her normal color, and then fell asleep for the ride home. In 2 months, we get to do it all again!
