Swollen thighs and a car ride

Bailey had her two-month check-up today. She's 30 percentile for weight and 95 percentile for length; she's staying long and lean. She got her first round of vaccinations, these included five in all; one was oral, the other four were given in two shots (some were combined, so only two shots were needed instead of four), one in each leg. She liked the oral one and wasn't too happy with the shots; no surprise there. She started to get fussy a little while after we got home from the doctor's office, this was due to the swelling and redness she experienced from the shots in both thighs; poor thing. We went for a drive to help calm her down; she loves car rides. She goes back in two months for more vaccinations; follow-up shots and new ones.

Here are a few recent pics of Bailey...

I took this pic not too long after we got home from the doctor's office. She had yet to experience the pain from the swelling that occurred due to the shots; it wasn't too long after I took this pic that she started getting fussy. Why a black and white pic, you ask? You did ask, right? Well, let me just say that the eco-friendly light bulbs we've been using for months now, maybe longer, are driving me crazy; they give lackluster lighting for taking pics. I miss the kind of light bulbs we used to use; I want them back, I miss them so. I decided to make this black and white due to the yellow/green color the pic had... blech!



I should have done this pic in black and white, and the pics below it as well, but I like the soft look in this pic, which only shows in color. I went to the Anne Geddes website and found this cute bunny baby that I knew Caitie would love; she loves bunnies, and she also loves the other two baby dolls (they're bear babies) that I got at the Anne Geddes shop in Downtown Disney, she even took one to show and tell at school, so I knew I had to get the bunny baby for her. It came with a book and a case to store things in instead of an egg, which is what the other dolls come in. I gave it to her on her birthday; it was one of her birthday gifts. If you think it's cute, check out the other baby dolls, books, and clothes, the Ann Geddes website has to offer. So, what do you think, does Bailey resemble the bunny baby? Those that have seen it say she does; I think she does too, with the exception of the yellow skin tone the doll has, that is. Why do baby dolls always seem to look unnaturally tan, or in some cases, jaundiced?



I took a similar pic of Caitie when she was around this age (not sure where caitie's pic is at the moment, so i'm not able to link to it at this time); I think Bailey is resembling Caitie more and more as she grows.



This is the same swing Caitie used as a baby; Caitie didn't like it all that much at this age, but Bailey loves it.
