Two month dotor's appointment

Marcus is now 8 weeks old and very active! He will "talk" for hours on end! He also smiles and giggles all the time! He loves when you kick his legs for him or wiggle his body. He loves to stare at the little teddy bear mobile in his pack n play and he has even learned to love the bouncy chair (as long as you are bouncing it with your foot.) He also enjoys to watch Mommy cook. He will sit in his chair and watch, eventually falling asleep near the end of the process. Marcus also has started to "swim" in the bathtub. Every night after he is all washed, mommy helps him float around in the water and he LOVES it! He has also started to sleep in his crib. He is no where near sleeping through the night (goes down around 9:30, up at 1:30, up at 4:00, then up for good around 6:30) but it is a step in the right direction.

On July 9th we went to see the doctor for his two month well check. We updated the doc about his acid reflux and how much better it is on the Zantac. He weighed in at 12 pounds 11 ounces (95th percentile) and 23.75 inches long (90th percentile) so he is a big boy! As the doctor was examining him, Marcus was chatting away. I felt so bad because he was so happy and then, out of nowhere, the doctor stuck him with a shot. And then two more!! He was so upset he turned beat red and held his breathe. But after the initial shock, he stopped crying in about 2 minutes. Good thing mommy remembered the sugar water pacifier! The whole process was so much for him he passed out and slept for a long time that day. But other than the sleepiness, he had no adverse effects to the vaccines.
