Clayton had his 2 month check up today. Everything looks great, he's head is in the 86%, length is 23.9 inches in the 88%, and he weighs 13.9 lb in the 87%. So as you can see our little man is growing big and strong. Everything was going well... until his shots. I didn't realize how long those needles are for those little babies. He has never cried that hard and long before. I felt so bad, there he was crying in my arms looking up at me and there was nothing I could do. I tried some tips that some other moms gave me but he wasn't interested. Finally after about 15 minutes he calmed down and fell right asleep on the way home. What a traumatic experience that was for the both of us.

He is sooo cute! I can't believe those needles either. I thought they were going to come out the other side of Camden's thigh. Too sad. Hope he does well the next couple of days with recovering. Babies + Fever = sad mama.

Shots are the worst. My poor little baby. It is awful for mama too. He is getting so big and cite. I can't wait to see him.

Hey Wesley has a big head too!! More brains. I hate going to the doctors when they get shots, I have actually only gone twice Joe takes him to the doctors now.

my goodness he is all grown up now! He is so cute. But I absolutely hate shot day too. Broc just had to get 5 yr old shots and I had to almost tie him down with the help of two nurses to get those shots in his legs. it's sooo sad. It gets better as you anticipate what's coming
