Healthy Checkup


Tyler got a clean bill of health from the pediatrician yesterday during his 2-month well child visit. A few notables (percentiles are adjusted for prematurity):
* 7 lb 2 oz (less than 5th percentile)
* 20-1/4 inches long (50th percentile)
* 3 vaccine shots yesterday and 2 today (unfortunately they forgot 2 of the vaccines yesterday as they were supposed to be combined and so we had to go back today! Tyler handled it like a little pro though.) I couldn't watch the shots so I concentrated on keeping the pacifier in Tyler's mouth.
* Tyler is perfection according to the doc. Since his due date was Monday he is now considered a newborn. Until Tyler is 2 years old, we can expect that he can be up to 2 months behind on most milestones; however, it is entirely up to Tyler how he progresses.
