Oliver's 2-month check up

Today was Oliver's 2-month check up and we are so proud of him! He weighed in at 13 lbs., 1 oz, is 25.5" long and his head is 16" around. Dr. Bengtson walked in and the first thing he said was, "I take back everything I said about having weight gain troubles at his 2-week check!" Our little man is growing beautifully and we couldn't be happier. Dr. B looked him over and said everything seems to be going perfect. He checked out the cradle cap and rash on his cheeks and belly which he said are all normal and nothing to be worried about. The rash looks to be caused by over-productive oil glands, so be sure to wash him well and keep him moisturized with Vaseline or a good lotion. After he looked him over, the nurse came in to give him his shots... That was definitely more traumatizing for me than it was for Oliver! He screamed after being poked but calmed down quickly. For the next 2 hours he was super calm and content, so we thought he'd be just fine! Until about an hour ago when he started to cry, and cry some more. We gave him a small dose of Tylenol and put him down for a nap, so I'm hoping he stays asleep for a little while to recuperate. We are just so thankful he is healthy and happy (most of the time, anyway!) Here's our sweetie-pie with his battle wounds covered oh-so-nicely with dinosaur band-aids:
