Last Tuesday I took Jalen to his two month check up. He is a big boy! He weighs 14lbs 9ozs and is 24 inches tall. His weight is in the 95th percentile and his height is in the 75th percentile. No wonder he's already wearing 6-month sized clothes. At the check up, he also got a round of vaccine shots. Jalen had to have 3 shots in his thighs. He handled it quite well and only cried a little bit. I was a bit nervous afterwards because the nurses told me to expect him to be fussy from the shots and possibly have a fever. He started acting a bit strange after dinner when he started making sad whiny sounds and he wouldn't look at anyone in the face. He just stared into space all night while drifting in and out of sleep. At night, he got a very slight fever, 100.9 degrees. I called the nurse to ask whether I need to give him some Tylenol but she said I didn't have to with this kind of low fever. So he just slept if off and the next morning he was his happy normal self again. Phew!
Jalen has really changed a lot just in the last two short weeks. He started smiling and cooing at me. At first he would only smile once or twice in the morning when I change his diaper or after I feed him. Now he smiles quite often when I talk to him and play with him. When he responds to me by smiling, it's such a wonderful feeling. I can only compare it to being in love. All the hard work of parenting definitely has its rewards!
Jalen's buddy T. Vo came over to visit. T. Vo just turned 3 month old and he's 12lbs. Jalen is bigger than him and a month younger!
Jalen is enjoying his new Bumbo. He can hold his neck up quite well so he can sit up in this cute baby seat.
Trish and Steve welcomed their new baby girl on July 23rd. We went to meet Sidney at the hospital on her birthday. She's so tiny!
