2 Months!

On Thursday, Colin turned 2 months old!

We had an appointment with the pediatrician on Wednesday;

Here are the stats:

Colin weighed in at 12 lbs, 5 oz (a gain of 3 lbs, 1 oz!)

and measured 23 inches long (he grew 2 inches!).

I am in awe of how fast this boy is growing!

We talked to Dr. G about some of what's been going on

with our peanut.  Even though he's usually pretty content,

he had been waking up screaming from a dead sleep,

gagging and choking on seemingly nothing,

and getting the hiccups all the time.

When I told Dr. G that some online research

led me to believe Colin had silent reflux, she agreed

and prescribed him Zantac to see if it would help.

After the consultation with Dr. G (who we love!),

Nurse J came in to give our boy his shots.

I held down his arms and gave him kisses while he got his vaccines:

3 shots and 1 oral vaccine. My poor baby cried, of course,

but as soon as Mommy picked him up and loved on him, he was okay.

What a trooper he is!

He hasn't even been too fussy over the last couple days.

He mostly just slept a lot and wanted to be snuggled,

which was fine with me!

Here is a photo of my sweet Colin on St. Patty's Day, which also happened

to be his 2 month birthday. Isn't he just the most handsome thing?!
