Colin's 2-month doctors appointment

Today was Colin's 2-month doctors appointment. He only weighs 10 pounds and the doctor said he is too thin. She doesn't want to interfere with breast feeding so now we're going to give him 2 oz of formula AFTER he's breast fed 3 times a day and see if that makes a difference. To be honest, I'm somewhat relieved because I was worried he was too small myself. He's two months and still wearing NB sized clothing while other babies born at the same time are growing out of 3M!

Today was also the day that he was supposed to start getting vaccinations. Can you believe that babies are signed up for 6 vaccinations the first time? Mike and I are uncomfortable with that and so we're going to research it a little more and most likely follow the Dr. Sears' Alternative Schedule for Vaccinations.

This weekend is going to be a lot of fun. On Saturday we're driving to Madison to meet baby Claire, daughter of my friend from grad school, and then on Sunday Colin will be hanging out with his Auntie Kim and Uncle Meu. He can't wait!
