I can't believe my boy is already 2 months old (although in some ways I feel like he should be older). I've been dreading this day for a while since, at this age, it's time to start his first round of immunizations. Thankfully, today was Justin's day off so he could come with. I honestly didn't think I would be able to handle seeing my little guy stabbed with needles. I cry when I get a shot, so I just knew seeing him get them would be too much! Lucky for me, August is one tough little baby! He cried a little bit, but for the most part he was pretty calm. It was actually a pretty sweet moment...me holding one hand, Justin the other, both of us looking him in the eyes and speaking words of comfort to him.
He slept for a while when we got home, then I woke him up to eat and give him some tylenol and then he went right back to sleep. I then went to the grocery store and left him with Just. When I got home from the store, I wasn't thinking and rang the doorbell and woke the poor little one up which resulted in a cryfest. It really wasn't bad, but he NEVER cries, so I knew he must be in a lot of pain. We put him in a warm bath and Justin distracted him with weird noises and gave him a bottle and he eventually calmed down. He's asleep again and I'm hoping he stays that way till the a.m. (I know I'm going to regret this, but I'm going to a kickboxing and abs class at 9).
As far as his growth goes, august is now 11lbs and 14oz and is 23 3/4 inches long! He's growing so fast!
