Baby Shots

Emma turned 2 months old yesterday and to celebrate Tammy took her to the doctor to get some needles! She had three shots in her legs and boy did she cry. I wasn't there but Tammy said she's never seen her cry like that before. I guess there is a burning sensation that comes along with the stabbing sensation. She's more than fine now though. I think it must take a special sort of someone to poke babies with needles all day for a living. Tammy drove me to work in the morning so she could have the car and we brought Emma in to show her to everyone in the office. We took her out of her car seat and discovered she had pooed all over herself and the seat. Not a big deal but it was green slimy stuff and there was a client meeting goin on and no place to really clean her up. We ended up cleaning her off in the gym next door on one of the mats. No one will be told. It took about 45 minutes to deal with but everyone at the office is pretty understanding as almost everyone there has young children of their own. They weighed Emma at her poke session and she's still only about 10 and a half pounds. Thats unusual for Tammy's side of the family and it puts Emma in the less than 50th percentile for weight but the 90th percentile for height. I have been noticing some chubb forming on her bones lately though so hopefully she starts filling out soon.
