"Betrayed! If I only knew my parents were capable of such deceit!" That's what Jude would have said had he been able to speak at his 2-month doctor's appointment.
He got his shots on Tuesday, which was a traumatic experience for all who were involved. Jude didn't sleep but 3 hours Tuesday night, which made Amanda one strung out mommy. As always is the case, she handled it with grace.
Without further ado, here are Jude's charts:

You can see from my analysis below that he is coming along quite well.
Jude's percentile rankings:
Length-to-age: 73.47% (60.5 cm / 23.82 in)
Weight-to-age: 39.93% (5.20 kg / 11.46 lbs)
Head Circumference-to-age: 47.77% (40.10 cm / 15.79 in)
Our doctor noted that Jude has a slight case of positional plagiocephaly ("flat head syndrome") due to him being in what I would call an average amount of time in the supine (reclined) position. (To the few friends I have that actually read this blog, I'll share that I was never pre-med, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn express once.)
God love the Internet. After reading up on it a bit, I learned that Dr. Sears and others recommend alternating sleeping position as well as babywearing via a Baby Bjorn, Peanut Shell baby sling or similar device.

Dave,
I was reading this article about the Flat head syndrome. Babies should sleep on their backs but that does preclude them from laying on their tummies while awake and/or at play.Being on their tummies makes their necks stronger because they have to look up to see you and their surroundings. At first lay them on a pillow but as they get stronger the pillow isn't necessary.Their arms will also become stronger because they have to use their arms in the process. There has been a delay neck and arm strength in some babies because they always lay on their backs and seldom on their tummies.
Mom
That's actually the same tip our pediatrician gave us. I probably should have posted that as part my original post.
I've tried it a few times . . .he's OK with trying it, but he lets you know when enough is enough!
Thanks mom!
