Well Baby, 2 month

We had our 2 month Well Baby appointment today. Mitch is doing great, gaining weight and growing taller. He was 13# 9oz and 24" long. The tough part of the appointment was the vaccinations. He got one oral vaccination and 3 shots. No tears from momma although it was very tough to hear and see his cries of pain.

My recent concern has been his dry skin so I asked the Dr. about it. She advised lotion and minimal baths. If he starts to scratch at his skin we could look into a steroid lotion/cream. I think his dry skin is due to the dry air we have in the home from the wood-burning stove. So along with the lotion and minimal baths I'll try to boil water/humidify to see if it makes a difference.

**UPDATE vaccination reaction: Mitch was fussy off and on from 6pm to 10pm. I broke down at 7pm and gave him a dose of Tylenol (I was trying to avoid medication) but he still couldn't sleep and didn't want to eat. Once I got some milk in him just before 10pm he finally fell asleep and slept for 6.5hrs!! I guess all that fussing wore him out.
