10 Week Well Baby Visit

Joey had his checkup on Monday. He seems to be doing really well except for the thrush that STILL has not gone away (we are going on our 4th week of meds). He is 11 pounds, 9 ounces and just shy of 23 inches long (50th percentile for both). The doctor said he is meeting all of his developmental milestones as expected - yay! The only bad thing was that this was the visit with all the shots. Poor little guy, they stuck him twice in each thigh AND he got an oral vaccine. I know people have all sorts of opinions on vaccinations, but this is how our pediatrician (and insurance company) does things, so we went with it.

Here's a picture of Joey post-immunizations. He took them like a champ and was back to his cheery self almost right away, but maybe that's because he knew the next stop was Grammye's house. We spent the rest of the day kind of relaxing which I think was good because all the excitement wore the the little man out.
