Two month check

On Thursday Malachi went in for his two month check up. He is a growing boy too. Malachi now weighs in at 13 lbs 4 oz, 24 in long, and the circumference of his head is now 41.5 cm. He is a big boy. The sad part about his check up was getting his first set of shots. One oral vaccine, and three shots. Malachi liked the oral one, they make it sweet, and he was sticking his tongue out for more. That all ended when the nurse poked him with the first shot, Malachi can scream. It was so sad to watch. Malachi didn't cry for to long after he received all his shots, he did a great job.

Oh, we also asked the doctor about giving Malachi "tastes" of certain foods. See while we were on vacation Chris give Malachi raspberry jam, syrup, and coconut flavored frozen fruit bar. The doctor said that Malachi is still too young for those types of food and to especially stay away from sugar. So what does Chris do today, he puts Malachi's Binky in his protein shake and then puts it in Malachi's mouth. Dads', what can you do?

Today we had pictures taken of Malachi and they turned out so good. It will be a few weeks before we get them back, and we haven't decided if we are going to make them Christmas gifts or not yet. I don't know that I will be able to wait that long to show them off. Chris might make me though. That's all for now.

Ok, so Chris needs to listen to the doctor!!! But then again, he's probably gonna do what he wants to do! I'll pray for him. :-) Can't wait to see the pictures of Malachi!!!!! That would make a good gift!
