The Finke Family

Gabriel is two months old today and to celebrate, we went to the doctor and got three shots!

His checkup went really well. He weights 12.5lbs (75th percentile), is 24.5 inches long (90th percentile) and his head circumference is 39.6 centimeters (50th percentile). The doctor said everything looks great and he is definitely thriving. When the nurses gave him the shots they warned us that we would hear him make a cry like we had not heard before and they were definitely right. It was heartbreaking but only lasted for a few seconds.

He slept for a little while after we got home and then woke up crying. I can tell he is in pain because he wants to be held constantly and will cry if we put him down for a few seconds. I got him some infant tylenol so hopefully that will make him feel better and he can still get a goodnight’s sleep. He is happy when his is nursing or in my moby wrap but I don’t think I can keep that up all night long.

Here are some pictures from the Doctor’s office:

Just got the shots and not too happy about it.

Daddy can always make him smile!

Thumbs up for vaccinations!
