Along with his growth checks today, Isaac had to have "2 shots and a drink" as the doctor put it. Before she started, the nurse warned us that babies who are 2 months old do not do well with the drink. She said they usually try to spit it out, so have the pacifier handy so we could give it to him to help suck the liquid down. Well, that wasn't necessary! Isaac gobbled that medicine down without a drop to spare! We didn't even have to wipe his mouth or anything. Apparently it tasted pretty good! The nurse was so impressed, she said, "He should be the baby on the demonstration video on how to administer this. This never happens with babies this young! This is great!" Dan and I are pretty sure that as much as she bragged on him to us, she went and bragged on him to the other nurses. (At least that's what we're going to think as the proud, medicine drinking parents) As far as the shots, he wasn't a fan but did get some cool camoflauge band-aids to help!
I think the doctor's visit wore him out. He was due to eat an hour ago, but hasn't made a peep since we left the doctor. We'll just let him sleep for now. I'm sure he'll eat soon enough. Way to go today, Isaac!
