A little behind

So we're a bit behind.  Moving into a new house with a newborn is a bit of a challenge, but we did it!  Good thing we were able to do it over a month's time.

Quinn had her 2 month check-up and first set of vaccinations at the end of last month.  So how did her first shots go?  Well, she took 3 out of 4 of them.  One of them was an oral vaccine and apparently the taste of it makes babies gag.  She gagged and a bit more.  Actually, a lot more. She threw up A LOT.  All over herself and her hair, all over daddy (who was holding her), and all over the doctor's office floor.  Poor girl.  Sorry no pictures :(
They make children's tylenol taste like grape, why not the vaccine?
Anyways, if that wasn't traumatizing enough for the lil' girl, she then got 3 shots in her thighs.  The nurse was fast like lightning and Quinn didn't start crying until the last shot was complete.
Mommy fed her and she was all better.
The doctor warned that she could be fussy for the next couple days/nights, but she was just fine :)

Here she is pre-bath a few days later:


Since her 1 month visit, she has gained 2.3 lbs (now 11 lbs 9 oz) and grown 1.5 inches (now 23 inches)!

Look at her May 11th, notice how big the onesie is:

And her on June 30th, this onesie won't be able to fit her soon!

  1. Wow, she has REALLY grown. I hope she doesn't start crying the moment I pick her up.
