2 Months Old

Matthew had his 2 month check-up on July 25th.  He got an A+ from the doc (Actually, we saw the Nurse Practitioner because the doc was on vacation.)  His is doing well and the only things we were concerned about were his umbilical hernia, which just looks really bad but apparently is normal, and his reflux which really seems to be resolved if it was ever really there.  For now, we're keeping him on the Zantac but I have recently "forgotten" a few doses and haven't noticed much of a difference.  He took his shots like a champ and didn't have any sort of reaction at all.  A little tired and cranky but I would have been too.  I didn't have to give him any Tylenol ... which is good since I'm pretty sure we don't even have any in the house. The only hiccup of the day was when he peed all over the exam room after the nurse left.  He rarely pees when exposed - or maybe I'm just too quick - but that day he just let it flow.  It's funny, you don't realize it until you're trying to figure out what that sound is.  OH ... it's pee hitting the table and floor!  HA HA!  I think he just hit a growth spurt the week after his appointment so I'm sure those numbers are way off by now. We don't go back until he's 4 moths old. That's September!! We'll be a little less of a circus by then too since the girls will be back in school and it will be just me and the little guy.
