2 Months Old

Sully turned 2 months old on Tuesday, which brought us both ups and downs.

Sullivan had his two month well baby visit which involved three shots. I was really anxious about the visit because I knew what it entailed. I used to be a pediatric nurse when I lived in Minneapolis, and gave dozens of shots to kiddos while they were in the hospital. Boy oh boy do I have a different perspective coming at it from this end. Sully was so happy at the clinic, cooing and smiling and showing Dr Sam that he was mastering all of his milestones, until it was time for his shots. His little face turned bright red, and twisted in the worst direction before he held his breath for what seemed like forever. I choked back a few tears myself and quickly nursed him until he calmed down. Dave came along to the appointment but was unable to stay for the shots because he couldn't handle the thought of Sully being so upset. Im so thankful that it is behind us. His stats are as follows: Weight: 11lbs 14oz, height: 23.25inches, and head circumference: 15.75inches. He is in the 50th percentile across the board.

We also spent some time with his cousins, Isaac and Anna, watching the American Ladies win gold in Gymnastics. Isaac kept saying "happy 2 month birthday, Sylvan!" (Isaac calls him Sylvan). It was darling.

Brave Sully after his shots.

Daddy surprised Sully with a birthday balloon :).

Isaac hanging with his cousins, he was not very comfortable ;).

I cant believe I have a two month old! Time is flying. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me, besides Dave, of course ;).
