Doc visit numero deux

We made our second trip to the doc's yesterday for Henry's two month checkup. I made Darr leave work early to accompany me as I heard a rumor shots were involved and there was no way I was going to be alone with Henry for that experience. Good thing, too, as Darr was able to hold Henry while he received shots in his upper thighs as I cringed on the sidelines and waited for the inevitable wails. The nurses double-teamed poor Henry, both administering two shots in each of his tiny little baby thighs. There was the slightest of pauses before Henry, realizing the trespass, turned bright red and began what would have surely been a heart-wrenching scream if Darr hadn't been present to immediately flip Henry onto his stomach, thereby providing enough distraction to avert the major vocal display of unhappiness. Henry's stats are as follows:

Height: 24.25 (90%ile)
Weight: 11.05 (50%ile)
Head Circumference: 15.5 inches (25%ile)

So, he's going to be tall with a small head, just like his daddy?

Congrats on the good check up! And nice job Darren - flipping him over to prevent the most heart melting cry ever. =)
Quinn used to just cry for like, oh 4, maybe 5, seconds - then he'd be all happy again.
Yeah. Liam? He cries when we lay him on the table, when he gets his shots, and then for at least 3 more minutes as I'm hugging and kissing his mad self. =)
