2 Month check up

Two Months ago i looked like this:

Asa had his 2 month check up today and he is a growing boy. He weighs 12 lbs 7 oz (75%), is 23 1/2 inches long (75%) and his head is 15 1/2 inches (50%). He seems right on track to where he should be. Everything else checked out just great. He was sitting in the office happy as a lark while Dr. Carlson shined lights in his face, pressed on his stomach, checked his heart, and looked in his mouth. Then the shot lady came in...i think Asa will learn soon to NOT LIKE THE SHOT LADY. She gave him the oral vaccine first, and he took it pretty well. I think he will be a champ at taking meds orally because he is so used to the Vitamin D liquid we give him everyday. Then the shots came. He was NOT a happy camper during the shots. Thankfully mom was there to scoop him up and snuggle him until he forgot all about it. The ride home and for a short while once we got home he was crying. It was almost like he was content and then he would remember what happened, his bottom lip would quiver and then he would cry. SO SAD!
You can see the little Donald Duck bandaids on his legs :(
My mom threw me a shower September 26th, and Asa was dedicated on the 27th and i didn't have any pictures of the events. (My mom took pictures at both) She finally sent me the pictures (Thanks Mom) and so i wanted to post about the special weekend.
The next day was Asa's dedication at church. What a special day it was for Asa and for Adam and i to declare to our church community that we are going to raise Asa to love the Lord. We had so many of our family there and it was just such an amazing day.
This is the same place we were married and pastor Russ who married us!
This is a picture of my grandmas hand, my moms hand my hand and Asa's hand...how cool huh?

Ana,
I found that if I schedule shots for right before Silas is ready for a nap, he'll cry for a short time, but usually by the time we're at the car, he's out. Maybe it'd work for Asa too.
He's getting so big already!
