Two months old! (Plus a week, but who's really counting?)

Soren went to the doctor for his two month visit this week. He weighed in at an even 15 pounds, and is 24.5 inches long, which puts him in the 95th percentile for both, as well as for head circumfrence! That's our baby, already toppin' the charts. Hey, at least he's proportional! Soren also had to have his first set of vaccinations. Here's how Isaac described the scene...

It went down like this…

Each nurse grabs a thigh and swabs it off with alcohol. One nurse to the other, “Are you ready?”

The other nurse, “yes”

“Okay, 1, 2, 3”

And WHAM they both nail him with a syringe wrapped fully in their FIST – this was no delicate insertion, but a full whap. Soren was sleeping at the time, but upon the first jabs his eyes bolted open and his mouth flailed. He gasped for air a moment and then let us have it …screaming and screaming. It was quite a scene. Meanwhile…

“1, 2, 3” The second batch of blows came.

Finally, the nurse on the left leg nails him with the fifth and final blow.

I think they had SWAT training in how to give injections. It was hilarious to watch (and perhaps slightly traumatic as Kayt may describe). Kayt quickly picked up Soren after it was over and had him asleep within two minutes…quite a circus but it went smoothly.
