Doctor's Visit Today


( I think Evan's gonna have blue eyes...)

Evan had his 2 month check up today. He weighed in at 13lbs and is 23 inches in length. He's in the 95th percentile in weight, meaning there's only 5% that weigh more than him at 8 weeks. He had a few vaccinations today. We were a bit trepidatious about getting all his vaccinations in one day after reading all that's in the news regarding a correlation between vaccinations and Autism. The doctor seemed rather adamant about the fact that there's no scientific evidence to support there being a link, but Genevieve and I decided to err on the side of caution and only do a few of the shots today, and do the rest in a few weeks. Will this change anything? We don't know. Obviously, we want the best for Evan. We know he needs these vaccinations, we were just concerned about some of the things we've been reading. So Evan will be going back in a few weeks for the remainder of his shots. Other than the paranoid parent stuff, Evan is doing great! He's sitting here right now watching me type at the computer.

On the flip side, Genevieve and I are actually going out tonight for the first time in months! We're going to see "The Dark Knight" in Imax at 1AM. We figured once he's asleep, we may be able to get out for a few hours. We've been hearing rave reviews about the movie, so hopefully, it will be good.
Me and Genevieve having fun as always.
Things are happening so fast I can hardly keep up. He's starting to reach for things on his own now without anyone's help.
