2 months pediatrician visit

We finally had our 2-month checkup, almost a month late.  Our pediatrician's office is way too busy and cannot give us well-baby visits on time, so we're going to switch to a new office starting at the 4 month visit (at 5 months). 

Owen weighed 14.5 lbs (75th percentile for age) and was 24 inches (60th percentile for age).  His head measured 15 5/8", which is about the 40th percentile.  The nurse who saw him said his cheeks were not even on the charts.

Everything else was fine.  Owen got his first round of vaccines--three shots and one by mouth.  He only cried for a couple of minutes after the shots themselves, but about 4 hours later when he started to mount that immune response, things got pretty ugly.  Poor little guy did not feel good and he wanted the world to know about it.  He slept well once he finally got to sleep, and he was OK by Saturday morning.
