Here's Z scooting on the floor...he moved from the middle of his blanket to the edge!
Yesterday, Zachary had his two month check (rescheduled a few times, so a little late). Dr. Li saw him and commented on his progress. He weighed in at 12lbs 10oz and 24 inches! Z still has some issues with his reflux, so she gave him another prescription for Zantec (this one adjusted for his new weight). After checking his vitals--eyes, reflexes, etc--it was time for immunization.
We had a choice between two 'double' shots or four single shots for immunizations. Because the two heavier shots can cause fever, we opted to get him the four singles. Mom, of course, had to step aside when the nurse came in with the tray of needles. Dad held his arm and non-shot leg while the nurse stuck him, twice in each thigh. Zacharay screamed, but it wasn't all that bad. Once Dad picked him up, he began to calm immediately. Thankfully, Mom had fed him just before the shots too.
It was a stressful day for Mr. Z, but he was brave and strong. He was a bit sensitive in the evening as a result of his tender legs, but a little TLC from Mom and some baby Motrin for the pain, and he was okay. He slept well (one 5 hour stretch!) and was back to himself today. According to the schedule, it looks like Zachary will need a round of boosters for the same shots in two months. I know he'll do well!
Z is giving sister lots of smiles this morning that she had to go grab her camera upstairs and take some pictures. She was able to take a picture of one of his infamous smiles :-)
