Two month visit: follow-up

I like Joel's sly, side-long glance and Henry's "Hiiii!!!" expression. This was taken on Tuesday, so of course they're wearing their "Toad Tuesday" shirts. Yesterday was "Winky Wednesday" with a winking giraffe. We'll see if today is "Toothy Thursday". You guys feel like wearing alligators on your onesies today? They are growing so fast that I'm not sure how much longer they will both fit in the "daily onesies".

Speaking of growth, let's give some stats from the two month visit: Joel weighed in at 11lb 9oz and measured 23.25". Henry weighed in at 14lb 1oz and measured... 23.25" too. Joel's noggin is 15.5" and Henry's is 16.75".

You'll notice that Joel does not have his nose tube in the picture above. With the approval of his doctors (cardiologist, pediatrician, and nutritionist), we decided to do a trial week without the tube. Joel is letting us know when he is hungry, but is not taking as much food as the doctors would like. He will weigh in tomorrow, and we'll see what happens from there.

Henry was a champ with his first round of immunizations. I was impressed with the nurse that administered the three shots; she was quick. He cried each time when he got stuck with the needle, but calmed down quickly. It took me a little longer to dry my eyes. Such a mom. But hey, a needle prick sure beats having polio! Isn't modern-day medicine amazing? There are so many illnesses and diseases that were once debilitating or fatal, that we can now avoid entirely or at least manage REALLY well (right, Joel?).
