Today was a rough day....

Maddox had his 2 month check-up today, and that means SHOTS. The nurses thought that they would try to ease the pain by giving Maddox the shots simultaneously, but it didn't work out so well. Due to the odd number of shots (3), the nurses had to prick his little thigh twice. Maddox handled the first round like a champ, but on the second round he freaked and lost it. We found out that he definitely has a good set of lungs on him. After a few minutes of screaming, he was able to sooth himself and acted as if nothing was wrong. He did have a few cranky moments throughout the day, and his legs were very tender. So, the diaper changes were interesting because of the tenderness, but he LOVES grape flavored Tylenol.

Besides the traumatic experience of the shots, Maddox's check-up was great. He is simply growing like a weed and is in the 63% on the growth chart. He weighed in at a solid 12lb 2 oz. and grew another inch at 23 1/4. When it comes to foot size, he is off the charts and is currently wearing 6-9 month socks. Pretty soon he will be borrowing Dad's socks......
