Two months!

Little Shinryu is two months old today!!  We took him over to the Hospital for his two month check-up and all is well.  His belly button is healing well (finally), though he will have the hernia for a few more months and the doctor told us to be careful and keep an eye on it.  The doctor also told us some techniques for encouraging his movement and development, one of which you can kind of see in this picture.  put him belly-down with his arms over a rolled towel and he will try harder to push himself up to look around and that will help his arm, chest, and shoulder muscles, as well as his neck.  Sounds like my workout at the gym!

We also started Shinryu on his vaccinations.  We consulted the doctor and worked out a schedule with the nurse in charge of that stuff.  I know vaccinations are good, but i'm still worried.  It looks like a grueling schedule of appointments and injections.  I suppose it's good to do them while he is still young and not forming conscious memories.  Personally i hate needles.  *shiver*   His first two shots were today.  and they went fine.  We watched him through the  afternoon and evening and he had no fever or side effects, thank goodness.  He wasn't even all that fussy.  He had his bath as usual and we even got to bed at a good time.  All in all, a very nice day for the family.

In other news i finally upgraded to the iPhone4S, so i can once again use my phone for much more than just a texting machine and phone.  Yay!  The difference from my old 3G is intense and i am loving playing with all the photo apps.  Expect a lot more photos of the baby to be posted with weird retro effects...
