Today was Madeline's two-month checkup with the pediatrician. She's still growing like crazy - she weighed 11 pounds, 6 ounces today and measured 21 and 3/4 inches long. That means she's put on 15 ounces in the last 10 days!
She also got five vaccines during today's visit - four shots and one oral dose. She cried out as she was getting the shots - we heard her from several rooms away - but she quieted quickly afterward. The doctor said the vaccines would make her drowsy this afternoon, so we took advantage of the situation and did some shopping and grabbed lunch after the appointment.
The pediatrician listened thoughtfully to Lacey's questions today and told us everything seemed to be going well. She put to rest most of Lacey's concerns about Madeline's sleeping and feeding routines and basically said we're doing everything right. Madeline is growing well and pretty much eating and sleeping when she's supposed to (although we would like it if she slept a little more at night without needing intervention from us - just because she goes six hours between feedings at night doesn't mean she's sleeping all that time!).
