First round of vaccines

Today, Ally had her 2 month well-baby checkup at the pediatrician's office. They measured her at 23.5 inches long, 11 lbs 3 oz in weight, and a head circumference of 15.5 inches, so she is growing right on schedule. She also got her first set of vaccines, one by mouth and two sets by injection. Ally enjoyed the oral vaccine, as it tasted sweet and salty, but she did not especially enjoy getting jabbed in both her thighs with syringes. Luckily there were two nurses in the room, so they gave the injections simultaneously. Of course, Ally howled, but it was not her loudest (she gets a lot more worked up in her car seat when riding in the car), and she quieted down very quickly when Ben picked her up. She is currently snoozing in her swing, so all seems to be well.

The pediatrician recommended that we should now start establishing a routine with eating and sleeping, particularly at nighttime. Ally generally goes to bed around 11pm, wakes up around 3-4am, and then again around 7-8am, although she has slept through the night on a few occasions. The pediatrician said that we could start getting her to drop the 3-4am feeding, as it will be a lot easier to get her to do it sooner than later. Also, we will be doing a lot more tummy time, as Ally is getting quite good at holding her head steady, so we'll keep reinforcing that with different positions other than just sitting up and lying down on her back.
