She received the following shots/immunizations:
Rotateq 2.0 mL PO
Prevnar 0.5 mL IM
Pentacel 0.5 mL IM
hep B o.5 mL IM

Taylor I can't imagine our lives without you!  I'm so glad  your daddy changed his mind on having a 3rd child.  Your sister and brother love you a little too much but we are so thankful for that!

• still eating every 2-3 hours
• we are moving into the size 2 diapers now
• size 0-3 month clothes but they are getting tight
• sleeping schedule of going to bed around 8:30 and waking up around 2 am, going back to sleep and waking up again around 5:30.  You are following the same sleep schedule your brother was on at this point.
• still very fond of mommy especially at night and only wants me to comfort/nurse her when she wants to go to bed (from 7-9).
• still hates her car seat
• acid reflux maybe?  I asked the Dr about this and she offered to put Taylor on Zantac but I said I didn't want to put her on meds if it was not needed.  She asked what her reaction was when we thought she had acid reflux going on and we told her that just before she spits up she will cry and scream for 1 or 2 minutes and then once she spits up she is fine.  She said that normal true acid reflux babies will cry/scream for 30 minutes or so before they spit up so we decided to not put her on meds.  she did say that around 2 or 3 months is when AR gets worse so if we notice it gets worse we can just call her and she will call us in some Zantac.  So we will see.
• will take a bottle now but still prefers mommy
• I asked the Dr about adding in some Probiotics to her milk once she starts daycare and she didn't seem to think we needed to add any in since breastmilk naturally includes it from me...but I may ask again when we go for her 4 month check up because I was mainly referring to adding it to see if it helps with Colicky babies but once she starts daycare I'm curious if it would help her not get sick as often as daycare babies do.

Our little sumo child just like her brother in the pic to the right however, that was Colton at 4 months and this is Taylor at 2 months!  On a side note Taylor and Colton were 1 oz apart at 10 weeks and 11 weeks as Colton weighed 13 lbs 14 oz at 11 weeks old.  Up to this point, I have said I think Taylor looks like Colton but her hair is starting to lighten up and I'm seeing more of Lauren in her facial features than Colton but she is a chunk like Colton was.  :-)  Maybe she will turn into a Blondie like me!!!!

We love you baby girl!!!!!!
