2 month check-up

Child#2 had his 2 month check up today and while it took for.ev.er., it wasn't terrible (big brother, on the other hand, was.  Daddy had to take him out more than once.).

Stats for you!:
12 lbs even (that's absolutely naked), which puts him around the 50th %ile
24 1/2 inches long, which is, of course, around the 90th %ile
head was....something...which puts him around the 10th %ile

For comparison's sake, at 2 months, Everett was 10lbs 8 oz, 23 1/8", and I believe his head was around the 15th-20th %ile.  You must remember though, that Everett was born 8 oz lighter than Cally and lost a lot of weight (which Callum did not.  I think he lost around 5 oz compared to Everett's 15 or so.).

We got to discuss (me more than Brian) our concerns with the doctor (nothing bad.  Head a little flat on one side, sensitive skin, former eye lag), talk about pinworms at Ev's old daycare (family practice doctors who look after 3/4 of the family are awesome), and get the ok that Cal's a healthy little guy.
Callum also got himself started on a slightly delayed immunization schedule.  Since the clinic does one of the same combo shots that Everett got (pentacel), we couldn't really follow Dr. Sears' schedule without causing a fuss.  So I made my own schedule to delay HepB and varicella and make sure the little guy doesn't get poked more than twice in an appointment.  For your viewing pleasure:

2 months: Pentacel (HIB, DTaP, polio), Prevnar (Pneumococcal), Rotavirus 
4 months: Pentacel (HIB, DTaP, polio), Prevnar (Pneumococcal), Rotavirus 
6 months: Pentacel (HIB, DTaP, polio), Prevnar (Pneumococcal), Rotavirus 
9 months: Flu, Hep B
10 months: Flu, Hep B (nurse visit only)
12 months: MMR, Hep B
15 months: HIB, Prevnar (Pneumococcal)
18 months: Hep A, DTaP
2 years: Flu, Hep A
3 Years: Flu
4 Years: Flu, Varicella
5 Years: DTaP, Polio, MMR
12 Years: Tdap, Meningococcal
