Burke Got Shot...Vaccinated That Is

Today was Burke's 2 month well-baby check up. As of today he weighs 13 lbs 11ozs and is 24 1/2 inches long. He's growing like a weed and exceeded our expectations. Of course we had to end the appointment with 3 shots (which Burke hated) and some sugary concoction with the Rotavirus vaccine (which Burke loved). Burke had no idea what was going on when it happened. First he was hit by shock, then the silent cry, followed by turning beet red and then he gulped in some air and the screams began. I should have been a better mommy and held him or nursed him during this awful experience. Next time.

Our goal is to give him more tummy time to work on his neck muscle strength and making sure he chokes down the vitamins which are somewhat essential up here because with little sun it's hard to get Vitamin D.

About This Blog

We moved to the Last Frontier during the summer of 2009. Since we are a LONG ways from family we figured a blog was a great way to share our adventures of parenthood and our exploration of Alaska.
