2 Month Checkup

So we took Aurelia in for her two month check up today. Everything looks good and there's no concern for her. The doctor was surprised that she's rolling over on her own and that she likes to stand. Apparently, that's four month old behavior. We didn't tell the doc that she's started Driver's Training. She's advanced but that might be pushing it.
This is the check up with all the needles. Otherwise known as 'the Parent Killer'. They started off with some kind of medicine that was sweet tasting. Just kept squirting it in until it was all swallowed. Then came shot one. Insert, pause, scream, stop (with indignant look). Shot two, insert, scream and then crying. Shots three and four just kept the crying going. But then came the pacifier and everything was just fine. The FP Gal made it without much problem. She's a trooper. (Me? I was stoic and calm. That's what I bring to this whole thing, right?)
Next appointment isn't for a few months. Updates as needed.
