Today Edison turns 2 months old, and to celebrate he got to experience his first set of shots! Not actually an exciting experience for anyone, but we have some photos to document it. Just FYI, Damon did the photos and descriptions - hence the references to me in the third person (although I'm adding a few extra comments - in blue).
Damon also got to celebrate his first Father's Day. We tried to let him sleep in - I think he made it to almost 9am before we needed some assistance. But Edison is always so excited when daddy wakes up, I don't think Damon minds the disturbance :) I think Damon has also taken to the father role quite well. He is making up lots of little games for them to play while I'm at work, and takes plenty of pictures to keep me updated on their days. The other day Damon asked me if I also get little palpitations just looking at Edison. It was very sweet. We both definitely love just watching him, he's such a precious little munchkin!
Anyways, on to the recent photos...
First time touching sand and being told not to eat it.
First time touching the ocean and being told it's ok to pee in it.
(I accidentally put his diaper in too. I like how Zeke is supervising the activity.)
Everyone look at mom and see how cute she is too.
(what you can't see is Edison next to the journal cover on neonatal resuscitation)
Enjoying the bouncy chair.
In order to go back to the U.S. , Edison has to have his own passport since we're flying through Japan. We had to take his photo for it, which produced a lot of out-takes, as you can see below. We wanted to choose one of the more humorous ones for the actual passport, but opted for a 'just cute' one. I like knowing Edison will be using this picture for traveling until he's 5.
A fine mugshot, but not for the passport.
This one will suffice.
Damon has decided to expand his movie making to involve special effects. This means Edison and I have to perform in front of a green screen. The green thing on Edison's head is my green 'glove' for holding him. Let me just say it is very difficult to hold a squirmy 2 month old without the use of fingers.

Then on to the 2 month check-up today. Current stats: Weight 15 lbs 11.7oz (>95th%, (off the charts)), Length 24 1/2 inches (90-95th%), Head circumference 16.5 in (90th%). So all in all pretty proportional. He wasn't very happy to be back in the pediatric wing of my clinic - since he cried almost the entire time. So much for me having a baby who's not afraid of doctors :)
After the shots Edison has been less than happy today. Damon and I are trying to console him with sing-alongs of You Are My Sunshine. It's somewhat effective.
Mommy always enjoys being peed on.
(his diaper was off when I got peed on)
No one is happy after the shots.
Sleeping off the effects
You can see one of the healthy shot bruises there on his leg.
Edison just wanting to be held after receiving his shots.
That's all for now, maybe we'll have another movie soon.
