Today Will had his 2 month check-up. It's almost not fair that something so sweet and so little has to be stuck with those needles, but we know it's for the best. : ) He did scream initially (a scream, not even really a cry) but after a few minutes of nursing he was his jolly little self again. Also, thanks to some advice from mother's that know, I gave him some Children's Motrin prior to the appointment, which I believe helped as well. As an update Will stats are: 14 pounds even (double his birth weight), 24 inches long (3 more than his birth). He is a growing boy and doing great. He has been sleepier than usual today, as I was told is a usual side-effect of the shots, and for that I am thankful. Rather have a sleepy baby than a hurting, fussy baby.

Oh he is so sweet! Hope all is well with you all. Tell Carl Tom thinks its awesome he does shooting competitions!
WOW he is a growing little feller! And so cute! I miss you guys! We need to get our babies together one day. Maybe at Christmas on our way to AR we can meet up. :) We love you guys!!
Oh, I hate those 2 month check ups too! That's so wonderful that he calmed down after nursing a little. Wow.... he doubled his birth weight by 2 months?!?!! WHO does that?? Why, little WILL does! That's amazing... none of my little babies did that. As a general rule, they like you to double your birth weight by 6 months... which Keturah did not. But I think Malachi did. :) So glad you're all doing so well! Praise the Lord!!
