Mommy's Super Star

Today Max was a Super Star!  After a long day of play yesterday, he slept 7 1/2 hours last night.  He also took a nap in the middle of his tummy time!
 
Tummy Time is hard work

Today he had his 2 month well check.  Dr. Slaymaker told us that Max is doing great!  This was fabulous news.  He is now 11lbs 14oz and 23 1/4 inches.  That puts him in about the 50th percentile for 2 month olds.  However, the nurse told us that if Max would have been born on his due date those numbers would have placed him in the 96th percentile!  YIKES! 

 As many of you know, I am currently working on clinical trials for infant vaccines.  So, I am well aware of the vaccines needed at the different ages and their importance.  However, as a mom I still thought twice about giving him the vaccines on the recommended schedule. After some deliberation (and some brushing up on vaccine literature) we decided to follow the recommendations.  Max did great!  He received 3 shots and one oral vaccine.  He yelled at the nurse a little bit, but did not cry.  He was a champ!  Afterwards he slept most of the afternoon.
