We got the official permission to brag about our son ... (from the nurse practitioner at our pediatrician's office):
- height: 22.8 inches (58 cm), 30th percentile
- weight: 12 pounds 13.1 ounces (5816 g), 60th percentile
- overall health: wonderful
- overall development: is he really only two months?! (that was the nurse practitioner's question!)
Andrin also got his first set of vaccinations. The nurse
practitioner did a wonderful job and he cried for about 30 seconds and then I nursed him right away. He made our heart feel lighter again when he finished nursing, looked up at me and gave me the biggest smile.
Andrin was in a great mood and you could not tell that he got all these shots until he woke up from his afternoon nap ... I never heard our baby boy cry like that before ... (which is a good sign because that means that he never was in such pain before that we would have inflicted upon him ...) ... I tried to calm him with nursing, but he could hardly nurse because he was crying so hard. After giving him some pain medication, he fell asleep and had a great night.
On another note: We had on Tuesday night (our
Internet has been down again) our first group from Birth to Three where we met other parents with same-aged babies.
Andrin entertained everyone with his (loud) vocalizations. He just wanted to add something to the discussion as well (he was NOT crying, just talking ...). And then he filled his diaper like hardly ever before. Clemens volunteered to change him and did not reemerge from the changing room for 15 minutes :) When we got back home, I nursed
Andrin again and then he just went to bed without any crying ... he has a new friend in his crib: a hot water bottle!
