Today was Jeremiah's two month appointment. I was excited to see how much he had grown but was not looking forward to the shots. Matt and I decided to start his shots once he was a little older, so these were the first shots ever!
Jeremiah is doing great! He now weighs 12lb 11oz and is 23.75in. What a big boy! He's gained almost 5lbs and grown 3 inches. He was so sweet during the appointment, cooing at the doctor. He was doing great until it was time for the shots. The nurse came in and had a vaccine that he had to drink and then three shots. The drink was first. Jeremiah didn't seem to mind it too much. Towards the end he started coughing, but no crying.
Next was the shots. Matt was at the appointment, he had to be the bad guy and hold Jeremiah during the shots. He had to hold Jeremiah's hands above his head whiles the nurse gave Jeremiah his shots. Sounds mean, huh? Jeremiah started to fuss when Matt held down his hands. It went downhill pretty quickly after that. He was full on crying and red-face-screaming by the third shot. But who can blame him?
Even though we let the nurse give Jeremiah the shots, he let us comfort and love on him. By the time we were setting up his next appointment he was completely calm. He's spent most of the afternoon and evening sleeping and wanting to be cuddled. We've been happy to comply!
See the band aids??? First time he needed band aids. There was blood on them! So sad!

what a big boy!!! i know those things are definitely more traumatic for the parents than for the kiddos!
Micah and I were looking at this picture, and Micah told me, "But I don't what him to get shots!!" He also said, "Jeremiah's a little big and a little small."
Awwww...I saw the "recovering" photo, but didn't understand. I'm glad he got over it so quickly. Did you take him for ice cream?
happy father's day, matt!
