On Thursday afternoon, I drove down to Washington to pick up Jacob from daycare and take him to the doctor. It was his 2-month well-child checkup in which he was to receive his first round of vaccinations. After getting weighed (12.5 lbs) and measured (23 in), he was examined by the doctor. Everything looked great and Jacob is progressing well. Then the fun part:
Jacob first received a live vaccine orally which went fine. While I was holding his hands/upper body, two nurses each held one of his legs. At the same time the poked the needles into his thighs; two in the right, one in the left. Needless to say, Jacob was quite angered and shocked at why he was being stabbed. However, the shock was quickly comforted with a little milk. All in all, he performed wonderfully. Also – having to brag – the nurses and doctor all agreed he was the cutest baby they had seen that day (and this was in the late afternoon). He’s got the ladies wrapped around his little finger(s).
Saturday morning: Jacob is now much enjoying bath time. Despite the strange looks on his face, he very much enjoys splashing around in the tub. Here are a few pictures and videos of the fun:
Some great videos:

The videos are adorable and they help make living far away just a little bit easier – thanks. In “splashing around” Jacob looks like he may just be on his way to becoming a swimmer! (I seem to remember you looking for a lower-contact sport?) Glad to see he is growing, healthy and doing well. We miss you all – mom and dad too!
I agree with Cathy ~ it’s time to sign him up for swimming lessons so he doesn’t develop a fear of water like his Nonni has. (That may have had something to do with watching her younger brother Joe, almost drown.) Elise was quite the swimmer before she developed the exercise induced asthma.
Oh my goodness!! He is loving bathtime! I loved the 2nd video where he gets all still and quiet, and then back to splashing like crazy!
That’s right, I’m watching the videos again. He is just way too adorable in that 2nd video with the splashing, the tongue going, and his big smile at the end. I can’t wait to see you guys soon!!! Thanks for keeping us in touch with your site!

I too watch the bath videos over and over just to get my “Jacob fix”. My friends from Red Wing stayed over last night and they think he’s the cutest baby ever!! Elise, there will be presents from Neela, Susan and Barb when you arrive next week. Can’t wait to see you all!!
