2 Month Dr Appointment

Friday, we took Mason for his two month appointment which meant his first series of shots.  It was so sad to hear him crying but overall he did great.  He hasn't had much of a reaction from the shots and to be honest, you would never know he had them.  He hasn't been anymore sleepy or cranky than usual so I'm thankful.
 
We did receive a bit of surprising news that Mason has a mild form of torticollis, which is a stiffening of the neck muscle and causes the head to tilt or lean to one side. Once Dr. Elzie pointed it out, I did notice that Mason's head always leans to his left, but we were reassured that it's so mild we can probably correct it by doing stretching exercises at home instead of going to physical therapy.



Head Circumference: 40.7cm, 74th percentile

Height: 23 inches, 55th percentile

Weight: 13 lbs 1 oz, 88th percentile

Sweet smiles from Mason - makes my heart melt. 
At two months, Mason is right on track developmentally: focuses on objects, crying less frequently, sleeping through the night (the past week has been 10pm - 6am), holds head steady, focuses on his hand/arm and his movements have started to become more controlled. 
 
Mason is smiling so much now and loves to "talk" and coo.  He will get the biggest grin on his face, but he can turn it off as quickly as he turned it on. It's so entertaining interacting with him now.  Love you little man!
