Two Month Well Check

Today you had your 2 month checkup with your pediatrician Dr. Wiseman.

Weight - 12 lbs. 14 oz (75%)
Height - 23 1/8 inches (55%)
Head Circ. - 16" (55%)

You received 3 shots and some drops in your mouth.  You did quite well but were quite fussy and likely pretty sore in your legs that night.

During the checkup Dr. Wiseman was impressed with how alert you were.  She commented that some of the things you were doing (being aware of your hands and watching them, interacting and observing your surroundings etc) don't happen until 4 months of age in most babies.  You smiled and cooed at her and were very sweet.  The only question I had for her was in regards to your skin.  Your cheeks are really dry and blotchy and it gets worse with soap.  She suggested that we only use water and lather cream on the dry spots or even vaseline if that doesn't seem to help.
