9 wks & 9 lbs

This past Tuesday Norah had her 2 month check up with her Doctor.  She also had to get her first set of shots (4) plus a vaccine by mouth.  Norah was a tough cookie.  She was laying on the table so happy, dancing and talking - then the nurse came in and started to give her the shots.  Her little lip pushed out and then she began to scream.  I had prepared myself to cry, and I did.  =)  Seth was unable to come with me due to a very important meeting at work.  However, being the amazing Father he is, he called my cellphone and left Norah a message to listen to after she had her shots.  As I was putting her in the car and buckling her in (she is still terrified and screaming) I called my voicemail, put it on speakerphone and turned up the volume.  It only took a few seconds before she heard Seth's voice and literally within a matter of 5 seconds she was completely calm.  No more crying.  She didn't move a muscle.  She sat there and listened intently to Seth's voice...I even got a small smile from her!  =)  I must have played that message 10 times for her on the way home.  She eventually fell asleep listening to him comfort her over the phone.  She did get a small fever and had a few crying sessions later that night.  A little Tylenol and some comfort and she was good to go!  Overall, I am very impressed with Norah (and myself) for handling her first set of shots so bravely.  

Check out her growth!
