Two Month Check-up

We took Zander to the doctor today for his two month check-up. Stephen came home early to go with us, and thank goodness he did because I don't think I could've made it back home without him. Zander is doing really well--he's an average two month old. He weighs 10.15 lbs and is 23 inches long so both are in the 50th percentile. His head circumference is only in the 25th percentile, so he's a little on the small side for that. Our pediatrician just adores him as I'm sure she adores all her patients.

Then came the painful part. Zander got a few shots in both his legs. The nurse came in and asked Zander if he was ready then turned to us and asked if we were ready. I thought to myself, "Of course I'm ready, let's do this and get it over with so we can go home" (I caught a cold when I returned home from Twin Falls so I wasn't feeling well at all). Anyway, nothing could have prepared me for what happened next. Zander got poked in both his legs and then came the crying and screaming. It broke my heart to hear my little boy cry so hard in pain like that. I couldn't bare to watch so I looked away crying for my baby. It was all over in a few seconds, but the crying and and screaming continued as I got him dressed and in his car seat. I cried the whole way out to the car. Zander had fallen asleep, but when we got home his sore legs ached and the screaming and crying continued as I fed and changed him. I cried again as I tried to sooth him and calm him down. I hope he feels better tomorrow poor boy.

Heidi did a little photo session with me and Zander while we were in town. She did a phenomenal job! I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out. Thank you Heidi!

Monkey Business

Saturday night a few of us got together at Idaho Joe's for dinner and pie. I went with mom and dad and we got there the same time as Trish, so the kids were excited to see grandma and grandpa. Devin ran as fast as he could to give grandma a hug, but ran right into the railing along the sidewalk into the restaurant. He had no idea the railing was there and it flat clothes-lined him. He hit it so hard you could even see the pattern of the grain of wood on his cheek. Devin is such a trooper; I didn't see him cry, but I about cried for him. Poor boy! Then right after as we were nearing the door of the restaurant Quentin got bonked in the head with the door as a group of people were coming out too.

We went to Brad and Heather's house afterward to see how Brad was doing after he tore his Achilles   tendon two days earlier, and to see the new baby's room. It turned out to be a fun evening.

And of course, Becky and I got a little carried away one night with the camera...
