Today James had his two-month doctor's appointment, complete with his first full round of shots (he did get one shot of his Hep B vaccine at the hospital). He did amazingly well, and it's true what they say - it was harder on me than on him! He had three shots and one oral vaccine, and cried for only a minute or so afterwards and then was fine.

We got all new measurements at this appointment:
Height: 23.5" (69th percentile)
Weight: 12 lbs 14 oz (78th percentile)
Head Circumference: 15.4" (27th percentile)
I do have an * for the Head Circumference measurement. We still have some head-shape issues. You can't really tell straight-on, but from the top of his head down, there is a very pronouced slant. Dr. B didn't seem too concerned today, but did say that if we were concerned, we could go to the lop-sided head specialists at Gilette in St. Paul. I think the full name is something like "Infant Skull Shaping Therapist... at Gilette", but Dr. B was happy to call them the "lop-sided head specialists" and I am going to follow suit. Anyways, if he didn't have the head shape issues, I think he'd be in a higher percentile.
Here are some pictures to compare his size - James is in carseat on the way home from the hospital 2 months ago and James in his carseat today.
