Isaac had his two month appointment today. He has surpassed the 12 lb mark and is making his way to 13, weighing in today at 12 lbs, 14 oz. He's in the 75 percentile for his weight. In addition, he has grown 1 1/2 inches since last month, measuring today at 25 inches! He's still off the charts for his height.
He also got two vaccinations today, one for pneumoccocal and the other for rotovirus. Luckily, only one involved a shot; the other was oral. After much deliberation about this whole vaccination subject, Kevin and I have decided to blend the CDC schedule with an alternate schedule recommended by Dr. Stephanie Cave in her book titled What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations. For any of you who are interested, this is a great and very informative book. I highly recommend it. Her suggestions basically spread the vaccination schedule out so that the vaccines are adminstered in a safer time frame.
Anyhow, our little guy has fared very well today in spite of the vaccines he got, and now he's sleeping soundly while Kevin and I watch a rerun of The Office. Love this show! Feels good to relax and laugh a bit...
Catch ya later!

Wow! He's a growing machine!
Both our boys are on (or were on) a delayed schedule ... we used Dr. Sear's schedule (backed up to starting at 6 months instead of 2 months)... E won't be done until he's six :) Extra $$ for nurse visits ... but I've done a TON of research and I wouldn't do it any other way.
Oh I'm glad you've read that book. We have too. We are waiting on all vaccines till he's two and then we are only doing a few. We just never felt comfortable with them ever since our nephew was diagnosed with autism. It's a difficult decision to make and we spent many a nights up discussing it but you just have to go with your gut.
and prayer of course! :)
