Ellery's 2 month appointment

on valentine's day, ellery and i celebrated by going to her 2-month pediatrician appointment (she was actually 11 weeks old...) what a way to celebrate, right?! well, even though we knew e was going to have to get some shots, we still get her decked out in her valentine's day finest (thank you gg & grandpa frank!) and headed to the dr's office.

once again, ellery is in the 90th percentile (you go, girl!) weighing 12 bs 12.5 oz. obviously, she still loves breastfeeding, and actually, i do too! it's such a special time i get to spend with her. She measured 23 3/4 inches long - hard to believe she's already grown over 3 inches! she jumped up to the 75th percentile for head circumference. had to make room for that growing brain of hers :)

i have to get how many shots today?!?

and then the not-so-fun part came... the shots. this time, she received two shots, packed full of multiple vaccines. she also had to take one orally. i gave her some tylenol before the appointment to help with the pain & fever. and thankfully, the nurse let me nurse ellery while she got the shots, which is supposed to help. as soon as she received the shots in her little thigh, she let out a few little yelps, like hey mom, i was eating lunch! i didn't know this was happening! then she went right back to eating. within a few seconds of putting her into her carseat she was fast asleep (not without a little bit of crying...see video below. she sounded so very sad!)

needless to say, ellery spent most of her valentine's day asleep, waking up for a quick snack before she went back to sleep. though i really do very very strongly dislike her getting shots, it was nice that she snoozed most of the evening away so kyle and i could relax and spend time together for love day. thanks baby girl :) we're so proud of the little girl you are, and are amazed at how fast you are growing. we are loving every second!
