Jake had his two month dr's visit today at KPA. He also got his first shots :( He was a trooper through the whole thing and did very well! He now weighs 14pds and 1o ounces. His Height was 24 inches long! He is a big boy for two months of age. The nurse practioner (which we love to see) said Jake looked good on the growth chart! He is going to have physical therapy for his neck. He always wants to hold his head to the right and look to the right. He has a hard time using his neck muscles to the left. This can be corrected with physical therapy. It can be caused by the way the baby lies in the uterus or the baby being pulled throught the birth canal, but Jake was delivered by c-section. He probaly got so big in there that he had no room to lay!!! We are waiting on Children's Hospital therapy to call us and set up an appointment. Please pray for Jake as he continues to grow and change everyday!! God has blessed Brad and I with more than we deserve!! We have two wonderful children which we know are a gift from above!!

Hey Joni,
I cannot believe how big Jake is. We really would love to see you all soon. We need to get together. Yes, we go to KPA. I grew up seeing Dr. Rimer until Craig and I got married. We love it there, too. About shots...the latest research provides no correlation between the immunizations and autism. A study was just published that supported this as well. I am going to hold the MMR until age 2. Other than that, I plan to leave the rest in God's hands. I really have tried to not get uptight about it. I really feel that the CDC and the vast majority of physicians in this country support vaccinations and no correlation...they are the experts. Things happen for a reason and we are accepting of the recommendations made and are going to to adhere to them closely. Plus KPA will not let you alter the schedule except for delaying the MMR slightly. At least this is what I read in the office and what Dr. Terry told us. So you have seen the female nurse practitioner? What about Ben? What do you think about them? We try to see either Dr. Terry or Dr. Rimer. I really want to keep just a few so that we can get to know them and they will know or recognize our family as well.
