Two Months!!

I cannot believe SJ is two months old today!  She had her two-month well-baby visit this afternoon and is a very healthy baby girl.  She weighs a little over 11 lbs and is 23.75" long now.  She's definitely getting big very quickly!  I already had to pull out her 3-6 month sleepers because her torso is too long for most of her 0-3 month ones.  She has some short legs though - her 0-3m pants are still on the long side for her.  The doctor told me she is in the 90th percentile for height and the 75th for weight, but she's much smaller than all the other babies her age that I know.  There's been a lot of talk recently about the increasing birth weights of American babies, and I'm guessing the growth charts should probably be adjusted to reflect that as well.  I wonder how she's comparing in size to her peers, as opposed to the two-month-old babies who were around when the growth charts were made!

She also had to get her two-month vaccinations today.  I did a lot of research on vaccinations before she was born, and after *much* deliberation decided that we would vaccinate according to the AAP schedule with a few exceptions.  Today she got her first DTaP shot, the oral rotavirus vaccine, and a combination shot which included Hib, Pc, and Polio vaccines.  Tonight she cried screamed inconsolably for an hour before she finally fell asleep when I ran to the store to pick up some Infant Tylenol.  She seems to be feeling a little better after a dose a few hours ago, but it sure was heartbreaking to watch her cry like that and not be able to do anything to calm her down.  I think her legs were just sore, and hopefully that will quickly pass.
